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?

She paid for my petrolHaving filled up my motorbike with about £12 of petrol at a station near the ponds forge roundabout in Sheffield a few years ago, I got to the till to find I had left my wallet at home. I was in the process of negotiating what to do about it with the cashier guy (honestly, you would think I was the first person who had ever done that, rather than -probably- the third person so far that week) when the woman behind me in the queue offered to pay for it.
I was very touched by this kindness - I think she was in a rush and didn't want to watch as I spent 10 minutes of her life argueing over £12 of fuel, but even so I think this was the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for me.
Especially as she refused when I asked for an address so I could send her a cheque, and said instead "just do something nice for someone else."
I hope you are reading this, nice lady, and rest assured I do take every opportunity to do nice things for my fellow man, and I often think of you when I do.
ps. You were also pretty hot.
