Random Acts of KindnessCrackhouseceilidhband asks: Has anyone ever been nice to you, out of the blue, for no reason? Have you ever helped an old lady across the road, even if she didn't want to? Make me believe that the world is a better place than the media and experience suggest

I'm on guard duty, inspecting cargoes going in and out of the city.There's apparently some contraband technology that we need to prevent from entering the city and getting into the wrong hands, so I've been assigned several men to assist in the inspections. It's rather dull duty, and frankly I can think of a lot of things we could be doing that would be a lot more productive.
Anyway, just now a kid in a flashy little convertible was coming through. I stopped them for the routine inspection, but the old guy in the brown outfit in the passenger's seat was very helpful and assured me that all was in order, that they weren't carrying any contraband, and that their papers were not needed. He saved me a couple of hours' unnecessary paperwork and inspection, which is no small thing when you're standing in the direct sun in uniform.
What a nice old fellow. He's earned my gratitude today, for sure.
Now I have to go back to searching for those droids...
