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?

A nice thing just happened to meBut as it was an inanimate object rather than a person who did it it prolly doesn't count.
Still, it made me smile, so I shall recount it here.
I was driving along and saw some traffic lights up ahead. Temporary ones for roadworks. They were green and I could see a car waiting at the other end. As I approached they turned red, and I reproached myself for not having my green light manifestation switched on today. Must try harder, I thought.
And they turned green again! Not more than two seconds after they'd turned red, they went green, just for me! "Oh it's you!" they seemed to say, "come on through!"
I did a big grin and felt that the gods of traffic lights were smiling upon me. I drove through and smiled and shrugged at the lady still waiting at the other end. She scowled and edged closer to the lights...
I'm sure there's a pithy moral to this. Think positive and the universe will play along. Scowl, and you'll get red lights while some other jammy sod gets home slightly quicker.
Either that or they were broken.
