When was the last time you did something nice for someone else?

[Documad]

Something nice, no matter how small.
Not related to your job or family.
And something you actually did--not buying something or giving someone money.

I'm curious, but I bet fewer people will answer this than the sex threads. :p

my friend clyde has cancer and his sister has been staying with him and pretty much doing all his cooking and cleaning. my friend angi and I went over there tues night and made dinner for them and took care of all the dishes.

a couple weeks ago I helped a guy push his jeep grand cherokee through an intersection when it broke down. i'm sure i did a nice thing for all the people watching because I was wearing a short skirt and heels while doing it. i'm sure I provided a little amusement for those folks.

Well... yesterday I had a big party and gave lots of people a load of free food and booze, does that count?

I drove my best friend and her boyfriend to the airport yesterday. In return she bought me lunch at a pub on the way. :)

I'm dog-sitting for a friend.

As far as general looks and evilness go, the dog severely rivals this (http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/uglydog.asp).

It can't much walk for itself, so it has to be carried everywhere.

It poos indiscriminately.

It has indescribable and oozy things hanging from it and hanging from weird places.

And it stinks. Deep, deep dog stink.

That dog gives me the extreme willies.

I mailed stuff to people. But it was fun for me too.

Last night when I made sure my friend and his main squeeze were left alone, even when some judo girl threatened to tear my scrotum off and kick the shit out of me.

[milleson]

I hold doors for people. I'll even go back or speed up in order to open a door for someone. Does that count?

I helped this Portuguese lady with her groceries. She was nice.:D

Oh, and I'm constantly giving my seat to old people in the subway. But that's mandatory for any kind of nice people.:pSome people ignore it though and they even sit on the seats especially made for old people, pregnant ladies and so on...

I paid for dinner for me and my friend about an hour ago. And I gave my brother some cash. And I cleaned up after my brother's friends.

Yup, I'm a nice person.

Documad, I read your thread this morning before the gym and it was the one that stuck with me while I was there. I was thinking about this all morning.

I feel like I am more often than not the recipient of nice acts.

There are people in my everyday (real-life life) who do kind things for me on a daily basis. I'm not talking about charity--I'm talking about doing little things (things that everyone can do and they don't cost anything in terms of money or, really, time).

There are people here on BBMB who have done sweet and kind things for me. That, to me, is almost more touching because of the nature of online relationships. It's easier to be kind in some ways in real life; to be kind here is different and it means that you have to take more of a chance.

The thing I think I do the most is to stop and talk with people that I meet along the way in my everyday life.

Some of these people I know--they work at the restaurant where I'm eating or the bookstore or the rite-aid. People usually don't talk to them except to bark orders at them. But sometimes I'll just to them or with people who are walking alongside of me or taking their dogs out for a walk. I talk with parents of young kids and with people like the crossing guards during the school year. Stuff like that.

I don't do it with everyone--you kinda get a feel for who's open to it. Old people usually are always open to that and they're very good at conversing.

I always walk away feeling even better than I did when I started. That's something nice that I think I do regularly. (Although if you had a "post about your pain-in-the-ass experience" thread, some of those people that I talk to might post in it. :).)

I was on standby for a flight with 3 other people...they all had more important reasons to get to our destination than I did...one had a job interview and two had been waiting to get on a flight since the day before.
My name was the first called, so I told the airlne agent to put my name on the bottom of the list so that the other people had a better chance of getting where they needed to go, and if there was still a seat after they got on the flight, then I would go.
They all got on, but there were no more seats, so I got left behind. No biggie to me, since work paid for my hotel overnight at the airport.
They were all so grateful...

I cleaned up after my brother when he over flowed the toilet..but thats just because he did it and left...what an ass....

I started my last vacation by doing this because a guy was trying to get home to his family and had been stuck by bad weather. It only delayed me a bit and I swear that I had the most amazing karma or whatever because one good thing happened to me after another the whole rest of the trip.

a couple weeks ago I helped a guy push his jeep grand cherokee through an intersection when it broke down.
I owe a lot of car pushes. I used to have a rear wheel drive vehicle in Minnesota (where you're insane to have one) and when I was in college I could barely get out of the school parking lot without having other students drop their bookbags and push me.

I just got online at the library and made a point to send an e-mail message to someone I don't really want to keep in contact with. She's a nice enough lady I used to work with, but if I had my druthers, I'd just let that acquaintance slip away. But she made a big point of making me promise to keep in touch, so I wrote something not-perfunctory to her.

I sound like a real jerk writing this out loud, so to speak, but that's the most recent thing, since it was about three minutes ago.

With that approach, she'll figure it out eventually even if you don't say it outright. Chicks are usually good at things like that.
