The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

went to a wedding at the weekendwhere this story was told by the best man.
the bride and groom met at university, dated, split up but kept in touch as good mates. about 8 years later, a drunken reunion party when she was briefly back at home led to lots of illicit sex before she resumed her travelling around the world.
the groom was totally smitten, and lived for her emails. but then, out of the blue, they stopped. she was in india by this point, and he could not get hold of her by phone or email. he was worried, but her parents assured him that they had heard from her and she was fine.
so he was absolutely devastated, thinking she was shagging someone else, and could not concentrate on his work at all. then the receptionist rang him, and said there was a parcel for him at the front desk. he sloped miserably downstairs....
.... and there she was, waiting for him in reception.
even a bitter old cynic like me was a bit teary eyed at that. (although that may have been the amount of champagne i had consumed by this point.)
slightly irrelevant as it has precisely nothing to do with me, but if i ever get the chance to do this, i will be stealing it!
