The only thing I can remember is when I and a friend played mini-golf and we lost a ball in the ocean below, you usually have to pay for that lost ball and we didn't have any more money. Then a stranger showed up with a bunch of money in his hand and payed the ball for us. He was drunk out of his mind so I'm not even sure he was aware of what he did himself but I still think it was pretty nice of him ^^

I can't remember the last time someone helped me out, much less the nicest thing.

But I do recall something that happened to a friend of mine last year. She was with her date, eating at a restaurant before heading to the highschool prom. So obviously, they were both dressed up for the event. An elderly couple, as they passed by their table, handed my friend and her date a 100 dollar bill and said, "Have the best night you two possibly can" and left. They ended not spending the money, but still were overjoyed at their luck.

no one helps me


buti was withmy friend when my friend was driving with a suspended license and we got pulled over the cop was suppose to arrest my friend cause it is a felony crime but our car stalled at the same time so instead of arresting her he gave us a jump and let us go on our way xD

but she is fine as hell so that is probably why he let her go but if i was driving with the suspended license i would definitely be in jail

Another story that I just remembered, and one that I can tell to whoever believes teens are immoral and dumb.

When I was a little kid, I was riding my bike around the block when I fell off and skinned my knee. Back then, I was a bit of a crybaby so, of course, I was crying my eyes out. No one was around the street and I didn't know what to do.

Then, through my tears, I saw a group of teenagers further up the street. I thought they'd keep going on their merry ways since I was a bit far away and I also had a low opinion of teens (due to stereotypes and my bossy older sister having just turned into a teen herself). However, they noticed me and came over to help. They asked where my parents were and I pointed down the street to where my house was. One of the teens then went to my house to find one of my parents (while the rest stayed with me), and promptly brought back my dad, who thanked them and helped me back home to wash and bandage my knee.

I don't remember. Strangers don't really pay attention to me, and I'm happy for that.

Strangers tend to buy me drinks, it's about the nicest thing they ever done for me although their intentions weren't just as nice.

Many times when I am shopping and I only have a few items people let me go head of them in the grocery line. It's always at the Meijer Grocery Store, though never anywhere else so far. Also when I was working this bastard customer was bitching me out about something that wasn't even my fault and another customer cussed him out....lol

Of all the strangers that I met and befriended with, I'll say the nicest thing will be...

Treating me in a fancy restaurant :3

Actually, I caused a lot of problem to her but I guess it paid off when I've done a lot of effort :3

I may be able to think of a better situation later, but all that comes to mind at the moment, is when people let my friends and I go ahead of them in the grocery store, since we only get a few items.

My car broke down on the M8 in the middle of Glasgow, in the middle lane in traffic as well.

A complete stranger towed my car to the nearest garage (I broke his tow rope as well) he then drove me to Glasgow Central Train Station and gave me train fare to get home and enough to get back and sort my car up the next day.

Amazing what people do for you.

When I was younger, I got separated from my family. They crossed the road and left me behind on a busy street, and this man picked me up and looked for my family with me.

Probably when this guy ran after the dude who stole my purse. Well, he didn't get it back but still, it's the thought that counts. Hey, he could've been stabbed or shot or something.

The nicest has to be fixing my bike after I crashed into his car.

Since my memory suck otherwise, I can't remember the most recent. I only remember that situation because I keep telling everybody how awesome I was by jumping off the bike. There was probably some cases where I forgot something and they told me about it, but I treat them as everyday life, not something worth remembering.

oh this just made me remember something, happened ages ago but still, had a flat tyre once and a guy stopped and changed it over for us, apart from that occasionally customers let me go before them at the checkouts if they notice i've got far less items than them and there isn't much option as far as checkouts go.

I left over a hundred dollars and a paystub at a fast food place, they called my boss cause the phone number was on the stub and I got the money back.

I recently left my I phone in the changing room at the climbing gym I go to, someone turned it into lost and found.

This has made me realize i need to keep better track of my stuff.

one day at a con some one came up to me with a rose and gave it to me telling me i was pritty(sp) and stuff. Then i asked if she was dared to do it. she said something i didn't hear and ran off. latter at the dance she found me and continued to answer the question saying it was not a dare and i am really prity(sp).

I think the rose thing is something that many people do at cons to others. but I don't care it made my day.
