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?

The Rivernos family seem the measure of Chile. When I went there, a friendly eldery Chilean couple sat next to me on the plan, on their way home from a holiday, kept me company throughout the whole flight, chatting away happily. In our stopover in Argentina, they went off to use the toilets in the terminal, leaving all their hand luggage on the seats with me, thinking nothing of a complete stranger guarding their valuables. Before landing, they handed a slip of paper to me; their address, inviting me to stop by for dinner any time I like while I was in the country. Amazing!
I met so many people through the family I was staying with. Lots of complete strangers warmly greeting me like old family. And, because the father of the family was/is a politician in the country, I'd find out frequently that the man who just embraced and cheek-kissed me was the ex-minister for somethingorother. Wonderful country.
