The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

"HG Wells in his role as propagandist for the British Establishment "Clearly, you've never read "War of the Worlds". Or "The Time Machine".
HG Wells was partly commentating on the fact that the British Empire (read: Establishment) was exploiting it's colonials with a disregard of humanity equal to that of the Martians themselves. It's very much a critique of the British class system of the day, just as The Time Machine was a critique of exploitation - you only have to look at the dependence of Eloi society on the predatory Morlocks to see that.
Quite how you made that assumption is utterly beyond me, I'd appreciate it if you'd qualify that statement.
