What's the nicest thing that you have done for a complete stranger?

Question

(minor monetary donations excluded)

Many years ago, I saw a small fragile old lady fall down. It was a bad fall. I ran so fast to get to her. I called the ambulance, followed it to the hospital and stayed with her until family members arrived the next day. It killed me to see such a fragile person in pain, all alone and scared.

Answer 1

Stopped at 2am in the Australian outback and gave some local Aboriginal people stopped on the roadside the only spare fuel I was carrying. They went their way and I continued on mine.

Answer 2

Changed a flat tire for a lady when it was below zero degrees, jump started a chinaman's car outside of KFC, Chased 4 hoodlums down the street who were throwing rocks at a bookworm type kid, Paid for an item at a checkout counter when the lady was just a little short of cash, grabbed a man and put him in a serious headlock when he slapped hi youn song in the face on a barstool in a restaurant/bar just because he was blitzed out of his gore, Gave people rides when they looked innocent (mothers and children) when their car broke down....well thats enough you get the picture. A lot of small things.

Answer 3

A family from out of state had a vehicle break down on the highway outside of my house. Husband, Wife, 3 kids. The family was pretty serious Christians, home schooled their kids, and they were the type of people that you could tell within a few minutes that they were genuinely, good people.
Anyway....the nearest hotel was far too much money so I let them stay overnight at my house.

Answer 4

Two teens who had just become friends of two of my teens found themselves homeless when their respective parents kicked them out of their homes.

I'd not met either as we'd only been in the area for a few weeks and as we were still settling in my guys didn't think it appropriate to bring friends home before we'd gotten it in shape :) Spell that embarrassed by a mess perhaps?

Without ever meeting them and without knowing what they were like I and my husband opened our home to them. We did so because we couldn't see them living on the streets and because we trusted our kids choice of friends.

Both teens lived with us for over a year until they were able to work things out with their parents. It ended up the parents didn't like us very much in the early days because they were jealous of us, apparently they didn't want the kids in their homes but they didn't want them in our home either. That evenually worked out tho and both are back home now although they are frequently here as well. They are terrific kids and we continue to think of them as a part of our family.

Now instead of 5 boomerang kids we've got 7! No, we did not receive anything for taking care of them...what's 2 more kids :)

Answer 5

This older lady was walking out of an office with papers, and the wind blew really hard and her papers went flying all over the street, so I helped her pick them up.

Answer 6

Excluding things for my family; I turned around to go back & help a woman whose car was broken-down on the side of the road. (Not the safest thing in the world to do but there's more to the story . . .)

Answer 7

Be a true listener when they had problems. And you would be truly amazed to know how many people walk among us with the biggest and brightest smiles and have the world of problems. So many I have just simply smiled with and a friendship began.

Answer 8

Cunnilingus. . . .

No, but seriously . . . A complete stranger? I grabbed the back of his shirt when he wasn't expecting it, and jerked it hard, choking him and causing him to fall on his @$$.

(It kept them from walking in front of a car whose driver wasn't paying attention and was going way too fast. )

Answer 9

Offered them a romantic interlude.

I'm still waiting for the favor to be returned.

Answer 10

I used to be a volunteer fireman. So I guess risking my life to save someone's home
