The Official "Nicest Thing that Anyone Has Ever Done For You" Thread

[Divinus Arma]

Let's go in a positive direction with this good concept inspired by Ice. Cause it's all about our experiences that shape our lives, right?

What is the nicest or most amazing thing anyone has ever done for you? Was it generous? Was it a personal sacrifice on their part? Was it a stranger acting altruistically on your behalf?

Who was your "Good Samaritan"?

I was watching R&H's South Pacific, and after about an hour and a half, an intermission came up. And I said, "There's a second half to this thing?! Kill me now." And someone knocked me out for the remainder of the film.

P.S. Sorry for not being serious.

I have found that the best things people have done for me is tell me certain things that I find incisive or motivative. Of course I do not intend to share them because they will look cheap.

The hippies at my college. When I decided to smoke pot, there was no pressure from them; when I freaked out (I was really high, but I didn't know it- I thought I was going into anaphylactic shock! ) they didn't just leave me lying there; one of them even helped me to my room and helped me relax. This was the best crowd one could possibly be around.

Right now, I would say that my wife is doing the nicest thing ever for me for a whole 9 months. I know, carrying my kid shouldn't count, but I sure am grateful for it. And boy is she suffering. Emecis and all.

As for one individual event that sticks out in my mind... hmmm. That's kind of tough. I haven't been the recipeint of much goodwill over the course of my life. I guess I would have to say this: Before I joined the military, I got thrown out of an apartment for throwing a loud party. I was pretty screwed and on very bad terms with the parents. My grandmother took me in for a couple months. No judgment, no scolding, just total generousity. That really meant alot to me. Now I get to return the favor. She recently had to be put into a home because she is unable to care for herself and she only has Social Security. That means she would have been in a dump. So I contacted my family members (who I happen to not get along with) and convinced everybody to chip in a little to get her into a nicer place. All told, we throw in an extra $1,250 a month so she can be "cozy", as she calls it. But this isn't supposed to be a "look at me I'm a nice guy thread". I just wanted to share my actions because it shows how important her actions were to me.

That's actually about it. I can't really think of anything else that someone has done for me that was altruistic or non-motivated. Xmas certainly doesn't count.

A couple of guys saved me and probably my family too from drowning to death when I was a child.
