today at lunch i was having a really bad day, then i went to the snake line to get some cookies and the lunch lady gave me two bags of cookies and a powerade for free. It made my day. So what is the nicest thing a stranger has done for you?
 
one time at sugarbush, I got some chicken tenders/fries/drink and then realized I forgot my wallet (stupid me), the cashier was really chill and let me have it for free. made my day
 
I don't know what the nicest thing a stranger has done for me. Probably hold the door open a I could walk through?

My sister ran out of money in an airport, by herself, and someone overheard her calling my mom freaking cause she was going to be stuck there alone without money or food due to a delayed flight. This lady walked up to her and handed her like 20 - 30 bucks for food and stuff. She was 13 at the time and it helped calm her down so much.

I think the nicest thing I've ever done for a stranger (also food related) was when I noticed a kid at school was going through a rough time financially, and couldn't always afford to buy food. So I helped him out from my own paycheck, and made sure he had breakfast and lunch everyday at least. I figure I'm lucky to have 3 jobs as a high school kid (2 seasonal, 1 year round) so I should try to help people out if I can.
 
I honestly can't think of a time a stranger has done something significantly nice for me.

I've turned in glasses I found at a restaurant once. But this thread made me decide that I need to do a really good deed for a stranger.
 
that is an awesome thing to do from one human to another. its not often that something like that happens. +k for taking the initiative in helping someone out
 
I've given people money and food, towed a boat with a blown engine about 1/2 mile with my jet ski, picked up dropped wallets/cash, and try to do random good things for people.. because it always makes my day when people do something unnecessarily nice.

Best I've ever had done to me (Strangers dont like me) was last week... (I work as a ticket cashier at a mtn) I accidentally gave a guy a 50 for change instead of a 5 and he gave it back... thank you! haha
 
One time at a gas station some guy pulled in with a super muddy car and offered me 10 bucks to squeegee the windshield and the two front side windows while he ran into the convenient store he also had a real hot girlfriend who was all muddy which was a plus
 
One time I ran out of money at the Atlanta airport on the way home from Costa Rica and had already ordered $10 worth of Popeye's. Some Israeli then randomly gave me $20 claiming that he wanted to get rid of his American money so he didn't have to deal with the fees of exchanging it. I think he was lying and just felt sorry for me.
 
me and my friend went to stowe 2 years ago for a comp and spent all our money on lift tickets so we had nothing left for our lunch so we were getting crackers and water. then this guy came up to us and gave us 20 $ so we could eat. we were pretty damn happy

 
we were on a boat in Alaska going real fast over icy water and my bro was running on the deck but then he got some mad momentum going to the back and couldnt stop but a stranger caught him right before he hit the guard-rail the wouldve surely sent him overboard. my parents offered him some dough as a thanks but he didnt accept any of it.
 
When I was like 10 I got my legs stuck in about 2 feet of snow in front of my house and couldn't get out. Then 2 older kids came by and helped me out
 
i was in wal mart when i was like 14 and they wouldn't let me buy an r rated movie so before i knew it some guy pretended i was his son and bought the movie for me

i'm not sure if it was nice or if he planned to rape me but either way it was REEEEEEALLY creepy
 
i cant think of anything strangers have done for me, but the nicest most memorable thing someone has ever done for me is when i was at work i was getting really pissed off at a project , and my now girl friend but then soon to be girl friend, suprised me at work with lunch, and a kiss, but my boss tried to stop her and she told him off by telling him how i worked ten times harder than he has ever worked for his company and i deserve a break. he let me take a days pay for half a days work and let me off early... it was so cool
 
Yeah someone turned in my iPod touch outside my local pool last summer. I was so stoked.

It really gives you hope in humanity when that happens.
 
same thing happened to me with that new green day cd. last week. but i asked somebody to buy it for me and damn, those ignorant sob's. not one person in a 10 deep line.
 
Last year, during a bad storm, my car got stuck in about 4 feet of snow. I dug it out, looked around, and realized that no one else was going to have a chance of getting out, due to the fact they didn't know what they were doing, and they had no shovels.
So for the next 5 hours I just helped families get their cars back on the road and home safe, instead of riding. It was worth it.
 
the lady at the union gave me a free monster because i looked really tired

some kid smoked me up at a party

 
Not much. Although I have done alot more for strangers. Fuck reciprocation, what is right is right, and I'm convinced half this country are inconsiderate fuckoffs.
 
Nah man, I just knew that at the end of the day I'd feel better about myself helping strangers with something they would be fucked without?

I get loads of skiing, but the chance to help others isn't there all the time.
 
Lost my Ipod on the hill a few years ago. I didn't realize it fell out until about a half hour later, so I had no real idea where it dropped. Here I am, wandering around trails I think I might have bailed on like a damn fool and this guy skis up to me, asks me what I lost, then promptly hands me my Ipod back.

Thanks man, you're awesome.
 
last year in france i had my fat skis tuned in a shop and got talking with one of the shop guys, matt.later that night i slipped on a patch of ice, and broke my ankle, matt, the guy from the shop, to whom i had only spoken like 5-10min, called an ambulance and explained the situation( it happened in france and he was so kind to translate ), then the ambulance called back in to tell they couldn't reach the village because the road was iced over.Matt was still with me, after 45min (by this time my ankle was swollen to about the size of my knee)then when he heard the message from the ambulance, he went into the shop, got his boss's car keys and drove me to the hospital (it was a jeep cherokee with snowchains and all so it had no problem handling the icy road...)then another half hour later in the hospital he remained with me while they took x-rays and casted my ankle... for the full 3hours! then he drove me back to the chalet (it was 3h in the morning by then)
from then on we were friends for ever, i'm going back to see him this year and hopefully shred some gnargnar lines with him !
thx matt!

 
^^so sparknotes: i break my ankle, random stranger coordinates my "evacuation" in french, ends up stealing/borrowing his boss's car and driving me to the hospital himself, staying there with me till they fixed my ankle and then driving me back...(between me breaking my ankle and arriving back in the chalet, +-6h have passed)BFFE !
 
one of the nicest things i remember anyone doing for me was in nantucket when i was learning to surf. My instructor was wicked cool and we talked about skiing most of the lesson. afterwards he walks a good two miles down the beach to give me back my bracelet that i didnt realize i lost.
then when i was 12 i was in florida (not my favorite place on earth) and my cousin and i got really hot. so we walked over to the snackbar at this little beach (we couldnt go in the water cause of a stringray migration) and we asked the guy for some ice and he said '$ 1.50' we were 12 year olds in bathing suits we had no money obviously. Then the lifeguard bought us ice and hot dogs and she told me to do something nice for someone else that day. made me so happy, so later i explained the stingray migration to a man in a speedo to keep him from gettin stung, wooo.
 
Well I got my first debit card this year and I was doing a pretty good job of taking care of it. One day I realized I had lost it, and I couldn't find it anywhere! So I called the bank, had my account frozen, and picked up a temp card. Later that day some guy knocks on my apartment door and says he found it and handed it back to me. I was so relieved, even though I already got a new one.

 
My friend's aunt was coming home from a trip to the US (she lives in Norway), and she was checking in her luggage.. she had some overweight so she needed to pay 120$ for it. For some reason her norwegian card didnt get accepted so she couldnt pay it.. Behind her stood Mr. Barack Hussein Obama and he offered to pay it. He payed it, and she later send 120 bucks back to him in the mail.. And now on his trip to Norway, my friend is getting to shake Obama's hand and eat dinner with him.

thats pretty fucking awesome done of Obama.
 
Once i went out with two of my friends that i have only known for about 2 months.We went to have a drink and stuff but what I haven't realized,my two friends were absolutely amateurs in drinking.They got 1 bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka.We were 14/15 and I,as being the smartest one(and only drinking beer) had to drag them home.After 50 m passed I couldn't drag them anymore so i just set on a bench with them.Than,a lady came and she did everything for me,she called my friends parents(witch I as a 14 yr old didn't want),and she gave a ride to another friend who lived 10 miles away and explained everything to his parents.It turned out that one friend ended up in hospital,with 2.5 promiles.If that lady wasnt there,i really don't know where i would have ended.
 
Once on the mountain, there were 3 guys snowboarding, and they stopped on the hill, sat down, and pulled out a fat blunt. Me and my friends were down a ways, off to the side of the trail, lapping some rogue glade trails we had made. Kids were trying nollie frontrolls, and Im building a jump for bigger stuff down below. We smelt some amazing chron in the air, and walked to the groomed trail to see what was up. These guys, all three were asian, came down to us, and at the exact same time, we offered to show them the trails we made, and they offered to share the blunt.So we rode down to the end of our trail, way offsides, down in the woods a ways, they LOVED it. They whipped out another blunt, and we talked and blazed before hiking back up. They were asian jazz musicians, it was so cool.
