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?

Something nice I did for a stranger...I was walking down my high street one day when an old gentleman reclining on a wall begged my attention.
"Yes mate?" I asked
"Hello, could you give me a lift?" he said
"Erm, how d'you mean?" I wondered
"My legs have siezed up, I was wondering if you were going as far as NatWest?" he explained
"Oh, well yes I am so yeah, okay" I agreed
He needed no more encouragement than that to throw his arm around my shoulders and drag me down a good foot and a half so he could support himself. From there to NatWest, about halfway down the roughly mile long high street, he explained to me why he needed this lift. His legs sieze up now and then every since a motorcycle accident when he was FIFTY-FIVE, now 30 years ago.
Weird little story from the this old gent/rocker I suppose, but I got him all the way to NatWest and he lavished me with thanks and appreciation. Still the nicest thing I've ever done for a complete stranger.
EDIT - Spelling corrections...

If TV is to be believed, people can very easily help themselves to your things while you think you're helping them.
