Someone was just very kind to me

That's lovely.

Years ago, I was on the tube one day on my way to work, trying really hard not to cry (my mum had just died) and not really succeeding. A very elegantly dressed gent noticed and gave up his seat for me. When I got up to get off, he was obviously getting off at the same stop. With one hand he tipped his hat, he held out his other arm to hold back other passengers so I had a clear path to the opening door without being jostled and ensuring I could get off first. Whilst doing all this he sort of bowed. I managed to quietly say thank you and he just smiled and nodded.

It made an unbearable day bearable. So much grace and kindness.

Love this kind of thread. I give people change and have paid for the odd car park or ticket if I see someone is struggling. And people have done the same for me.

My nieghbour was washing his car earlier. I joked with him asking if it was 'Bob a job' day and I would give him a couple of 'bob' to wash mine.

15 mins laster he came to the door asking for a squirt of washing up liquid which I gave him. He then preceeded to wash my car too and laugh at the stunned look on my face.

Some people parked just near our house recently just as we were going out. They asked if there were any nice walks locally so I told them about one, said it was a bit complex to explain but I'd go and find it online and print it out for them. Off they went with their instructions and v happy. When we got home a few hours later we found the instructions by the front door with 'Thanks' scribbled on them and a jar of delicious lemon curd from a very lovely deli nearby. They really didn't need to do it but it was a lovely (and delicious) gesture. If you are reading, nice people, thank you.

Love these stories! On holiday last year, lady in front of us paid for us all to get in to farm park for free as she had a membership card

Aw, I love these threads.

Someone was lovely to me today as well. I dropped my phone in the woods car park after a dog walk, I rushed back when I realised and there was a group of workmen coming towards me, one with a big grin and my phone.... I almost kissed him

A nice lady signed me into Kew Gardens as her guest when I went there on my own with Dd when she was a baby.

What a lovely man.

There is hope out there that this world isn't totally screwed up!

Aw lovely OP. A lady in Waterstones gave me a book token as she over heard me telling DS I had lost his one the other. DS was very pleased with his new book!

That's lovely, I gave someone 2.50 for hospital parking a few weeks ago, they were really pleased. It was my attempt at paying it forward in advance.

That's very lovely.

Stuff like that remind me there's still good people in the world.

I remember my DC being very little (I had 3 under 2) and I was out with them, eldest was about 3 and DTS were toddling along. They all had a massive tantrum and eventually I just burst into tears (very, very tired and emotional reaction - not my finest moment)!

This lovely woman came over and gave me a hug, picked up DTs and walked me back to my car and helped me out them all in their seats. She gave me another big hug and told me not to worry, tomorrow was another day and everyone gets exhausted.

I think of her every now and then, what a lovely lady.
