There is so much hate just now and fear. Sometimes it can feel like the whole human race is doomed. So I wondered if anyone wanted to share some positive actions by a fellow human recently?

I'd start

I was in tesco the other day and I picked up some cheap handcream ( cheap does me fine) At the checkout it turned out the cream cost almost 15 pound !! Which is something I would never pay especially when the cheap stuff does me fine. So I asked the lady if I could put it back. ( She also said it was a rip off lol) .

There was a man behind me who then offered to buy me it as he thought i didn't have the money. I obviously explained i just simply thought it wasn't worth that much which is why I put it back.

It was such a nice thing to offer to a complete stranger.❤

I was 3p short in tesco and the lady let me scan my shopping anyway 🤷‍♀️ that was kind

Not like the old days of cash where you'd be let off, it was a bit of a palaver for her
