Doing nice things for others

[HappyAgainOneDay]

AIBU to wonder where the threads gone where MNs were telling us what nice things had happened to them? Things like the odd What a Pretty Baby You Have comment or A Stranger Paid My Car Parking Fee.

I wanted to start a lovely partners thread the other day because dh went on a munchies run for me at midnight.

I was nice to someone in Sainsbury's recently because of MN.

And no, YANBU, there seem to be a lot of bunfights and goady threads recently. (Even more than usual.)

IThoughtOfItFirst Are you expecting?

I was at work and had a craving. The cleaner came in one morning and asked,"Who's pregnant?" My One of the waste paper bins was full of carrot peelings every day.

With number 2, we were going on a long journey but I wanted to eat bananas. We called at our local Co-op and bought eight. I ate them, one after another, and, 45 mins later, I had to tell then DH to stop the car because I wanted to be sick. I opened the car door and got rid of eight bananas that way.

Is it this one you mean?

36 weeks! I too am really partial to a banana this time (dc2). I keep a bunch by my bed in case i wake up 'ungry. I haven't seen them in reverse yet though!! 8 bananas... that's amazing !

I once let someone who wasn;t a blood relative piss in my toilet.

Am I super-duper nice, or just someone who's not a bit of a prick?

Have you been reading the 'delivery driver needs toilet' thread Gin?

Thanks, you just reminded me!

I've been planning leaving a quid in a little envelope on the vending machine at work saying "Have one on me! And pay it forward "

Going to write the envelope now and hope whoever, out of the 6000 people who work there, needs a lift tomorrow

Once I was pregnant and travelling alone down to England and I was struggling to carry my toddler and get to the flight boarding gate in time. ds1 was screaming, I was clearly hassled / tearful and hadn't got a buggy. A lady with older children saw my distress and just said "what you need is for me to carry him for you" and immediately I trusted her to do so. She carried ds1 to the boarding gate while I recovered my composure and ds1 was so surprised he stopped crying too.

awsomer Yes, that's it. Thank you. I've ticked the Watch box now.

Did my pay it forward today! Twas a guy about 30, who looked totally bemused at first, then smiled I was watching from a distance and it felt really good!

It's nice when you see acknowledgement of your niceness, Shakey

I went to a nearby town where there's the only decent fabric shop in the area. I found myself in a pay and display car park and had only notes or coppers and the machine would take neither. I began to walk away from the machine when a stranger came up to me and finished up paying the 70p for me.
