Random Acts of Kindness
Crackhouseceilidhband 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

It's an odd thing to do, isn't it?
Last year I was on a tube when someone jumped under it at Hammersmith.
The train stopped halfway into the station, and the driver somewhat matter of factly said "Sorry, someone just jumped under the train, you'll have to evacuate through the carriages", which we did.
I didn't see anything, except a couple of hysterical people on the platform, who obvously did see it. I just left the station and went on another route.
Even having pretty much no involvement - I never found out who it was, male or female, whether they died or not - it was very unsettling, and even now I sometimes think about what a wierd experience it was.

No doubt making the announcement in that "forced calm" voice that we all know how to do...
