This is a question The nicest thing someone's ever done for me

In 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?

Well, it made me smile
Inspired by this QOTW (particularly Happycow's post from yesterday) I sent a similar text message round to a few friends to try and cheer them up. (I don't like bragging about such things, and don't want to come off like an arrogant blowhard.)

The responses were mixed, from several people accusing me of being drunk at half past two in the afternoon, one wondering if I had discovered a strong supply of smack, and several who thanked me for brightening their day. But the best reaction came a few hours later. My best friend had gone into a panic at the text, thinking that I'd come off my bike and was lying at the roadside counting down my last remaining minutes on this mortal coil. I got a frantic tearful phone call from her after she had rushed round her uni and the surrounding areas - having only moved there two weeks ago - looking for a phone box to try and speak to me (she was out of credit on her mobile) and find out what was going on.

She was a bit annoyed that I found the whole thing rather funny.

But Laura, thank you for making me feel loved, despite the intention being that you were supposed to be the one with the happy feelings.

I got a message a bit like that
Well, when i say a bit like that, i mean it made me happy. It reads, "You are like a grey and shrivelled glans".

I didn't reply, but i think he knew he'd made my day.

I sent the message to my wife
Well, a similar one anyway. Evidently, I made her cry on the bus to work.

:-)
I have had a few replies asking whether I was ok/drunk/about to jump off a building etc. Friends can be so cynical. Keep spreading the love! :-)
