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?

We have a procedure at work, for found money. If a customer or an employee finds money, they hand it into the manager. If no-one claims it within a week or so, in theory the finder would get it. In practice, the manager pocketed it.
Things changed, of course. Now if no-one claims it within a week or so, it's meant to go into the staff fund so everyone can benefit. In practice, the manager still kept it.
So now, if we staff see money on the floor, we tend to 'suggest' that any nearby pensioner must have dropped it, and try to give it back to them. Better they have it, than the manager's gambling habit.
This approach also puts a stop to any 'tests', if he sees his disciplinary-bait disappearing into a customers purse. I don't care if he wants to cut staff, you don't do it through temptation on *my* watch.
