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

Don't try to teach me about karma.So far this year I have:
1) Found a smartphone on the floor outside a pub on NYE and tried my hardest to find it's owner. Put out some questions on facebook, left a poster in the pub, reported it to police. I couldn't phone anyone from it as it was locked.
2) Found two purses left by customers in the pub I work at. Chased one down the street to give it back, kept the other safe.
3) Lent a stranger my phone so he could ring his, as he'd misplaced it.
4) Pointed out that an elderly man had overpaid me by £10, despite his protestations that he hadn't.
5) Run up a hill to an old lady getting on a bus, who was in front of me in the post office and had dropped her stamps.
Just before Christmas me and my new wife hired a car and drove 220 miles to register her fingerprints for her visa. It finally arrived about 3 weeks ago, and cost £500.
2 weeks ago, when we were out for a drink (not on the piss, we only had two) her wallet was stolen. It contained 7 pounds, debit cards, and her new residents permit.
The wallet hasn't been found. I assume they took the cash and binned the rest.
As a result we now have to hire another car and take another 440-mile round-trip to re-submit her prints.
I'm not a violent man (I've nothing to be violent with) but so help me god, if I ever find out who took it...
Karma can go fuck itself. Hard.

I found a phoneI looked at the sim card, then told Orange and gave them the sim card no and the IMEI number of the phone and they sent an envelope to post it back in.
Didn't get anything for it though; just karma I suppose. The owner must've got a replacement.

Actually, I think someone should teach you about Karma, as you appear to have fundamentally misunderstood it.(

Why, on a website mostly frequented by atheists, has everyone suddenly started banging on about karma?Yes, the universe is watching you and setting things up so your good deeds are rewarded. Superstitious bollocks.

I don't necessarily believe in mystical karmabut I do think that if you go around behaving like an arse, other people are more likely to fuck you up than if you're nice to them

this ^My smidgeon of remaining faith in humankind tells me that recipients of kind deeds are a little more likely to carry out a kindness themselves. Unfortunately ignorance and fucking eachother over is much more the norm.
