    Default What's the nicest thing...

    What is the nicest thing that somebody has ever done for you? What is the nicest thing you have done for someone else?

    Me: I flew from Denver to San Fransisco earlier this year, and booked a room through Travelocity. Something glitched between the two websites, and when I got to the hotel my reservation was lost, and it was midnight, and I had my daughter. The hotel clerk must have been having a bad day, because she told me it wasn't her problem. And that I needed to find somewhere else to stay. Well, a woman in line heard the whole thing and, without being asked, told me to take her room instead. She had an early flight, and wanted to head back to the airport to wait it out. A complete stranger. I cried again, for a completely different reason

    When I was 16 I lived in Death Valley, and was home schooled. I worked in the visitors' center. One night, right at closing, a woman walked in, visibly distressed. Her car had broken down, and she couldn't afford to stay at the resort, which was ridiculously, exorbitantly expensive. I gave her my paycheck, and a hug.

    What you put out, you get back

    Aha, that was cute. I gave a transient man a bouquet of wild flowers that I picked on a walk one time

    I like this thread

    The nicest thing was probably when my dad (who is no longer alive), after a session of chemo was in the hospital. My dog had died and I was bawling and grieving that whole day, and when I came to visit him in the hospital, he comforted me the whole time. I mean, he was dying and sick and in pain, but he made it a priority to help me feel better.

    The nicest thing I've ever done for somebody else... crap. I'm not as nice a person as I wish I were. I open doors for people? I'm a pretty good tipper? When I babysit or teach Sunday School, I always try to make sure the kids know they're respected and are seen as equal by getting to know them and not being condescending, because lots of times I find adults seem to forget children have real emotions and such. That's it. I'm not an astoundingly kind person, unfortunately.

    You're what so many children need. That is above and beyond "nice" in my book

    Thank you! Next year I'll be studying to be a primary school teacher. I'm so much better with kids and animals, than with other people around my age or older, to be honest... still, I need to work on being the really kind person I aspire to be :/

    I think you will make an amazing primary teacher, and being surrounded with what you love most is going to change your whole world I bet you'll be one of those cool teachers that has a class animal in the room. I had an awesome teacher that had a bunny, and each weekend one of the students got to take him home. His name was Thumper

    Love this thread too

    Ok mm nicest thing someone has done for me. Well I think there are a lot, especially from my friends and family, but strangers: one time I had a panic attack in town and tried to go back home really quickly, I was really zoning out and I took the wrong bus. I didn't realize because through the entire ride I was really immersed in my own misery. Anyways the bus finally comes to a stop after a probably one hour and a half ride that felt like 5 minutes to me, and I was completely lost. I had no idea where I was, it was getting dark, and I just broke down and started crying. A lady and her daughter approached me as asked me what was wrong, I told them I took the wrong bus and was completely lost, had no idea how to get home from this remote-ish area. They were very nice, asked where i lived exactly and they actually took me home. That was really nice of them and they really didn't have to do that but they brought me home, instead of going about their business ignoring me.

    Nicest thing I've done?.. Mm
    I think it was when someone I knew, we weren't close friends but I cared about him a lot, lost his job. He lives in another country, ended up jobless, with no CV material to get a new job with, and soon to be homeless because he was about to get evicted of his home (broke). I bought him a plane ticket, cleared up a room, and invited him to stay home until he could find a new job or get out of this rough patch. Well it's a long story but that sums up the idea.
    "If I have any taste, it s for hardly anything
    but earth and stones.

    Let us eat air, rock, coal, iron.
    Turn, my hungers.
    Feed, hungers, in the meadow of sounds!
    Suck the gaudy poison of the convolvuli;
    Eat, the stones a poor man breaks,
    the old masonry of churches, boulders,
    children of floods, loaves lying in the grey valleys! "

    Every time I see my neighbor across the hall she always gives me some sort of 'treat'. Last night I went to throw the garbage down the shoot and she gave me apples (she bought tons on sale) and some sort of ice cream ball covered in chocolate. I went inside and cried because I'm not used to people being so nice.

    Nicest thing I've done? Its tough because I don't think I've done nice things lately. When I'm so entrenched in Ed and depression I neglect good deeds. I do open doors for people and wish ppl a nice day stepping out of the elevator if that counts?
    Just a lost soul trying to find my place in the world.....
