Intrigued to see some of the stories of people who help others out of kindness without asking for anything in return.

The nicest thing I do for some people is not to bash their heads in when they are being stupid.

Punched a noisy child in the face in a cinema. I could feel the looks of appreciation on my back.

once while high on acid I walked p a mountain and found some homeless Christian ladies there.
They gave me an exorcism (and I found this highly amusing) so I gave them R1400 in cash.

Smelliest bible I have ever had stuck in my face.

I drank a girl's roofie-filled glass before she could. I think the guy then tried to drag me home but gave up because my friends found me in the parking lot.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I never give these beggars money, but there was this one guy in Fourways i gave R100, he was an old guy, dressed very nearly, had his comb in his sock, and did not have that “brandewyn gesig”
Actually broke my heart seeing him


edit
I also tend to give away things,
Like maybe my brother will play on my xbox and i will see how much he enjoys it, then i will give it to him,
Gave away my MP3 walkman as well to one of my friends, and a car radio, a motherboard and CPU,
3kg Whey isolate and 1 kg Creatine to someone wo enjoyed to gym but did not have the cash for supplements...., even my Media player i gave away coz one of my female friends could not watch movies at her place...., come to think of it, 90% of all my old cellphones i also gave away to people who had crappier phones :p
Not a lot of things makes me happy, and earthly possessions least of all, makes me much happier seeing other people happy

If I take an item off the shelf at a supermarket and then later realize I don't want it, I'll go back and put it back where I took it from. I know most people just ditch things wherever but the products don't all walk back to their correct shelves at closing time.

Once, at a time when I was often handing R100s to beggars and whatnot (I know food is the more 'safe' option, but hey if they want to beg it's not for me to decide what they do with their earnings and unfortunately I've seen received food tossed away as soon as the giver turned their back, I really can't tolerate wasted food), I was in a queue in a supermarket and there was a lady with a young kid behind me. She seemed in a hurry, possibly because the kid was hungrily eyeing treats so I let her in front of me, gave the kid something off the shelf and paid for it and her shopping (it wasn't a lot, maybe half a basket).
She didn't say thanks as I recall, just looked at me as if I'd taken a bite out of her child's face and then asked if I could have some of hers too.

Being a biker I know how *** it can be being stranded next to the road.

So I try to stop whenever possible to help out if I see someone in a pickle.

Even cars if they aren't filled with people and it's potentially dangerous.

When I lived in Swellendam, we took our domestic for a day out to Fish Hoek because at 41 years old, she had never seen the sea. She was like a young kid splashing and eating ice cream, fish and chips for lunch etc.

Man, the things we just simply take for granted. I well up a little even now when I think about it.

Once i was shopping with my ex, and there was an very very old lady in front of us, she was probably in her 80ties, she struggled to walk, and when she paid she had one of these old ouma beursies (wallets), you could see she did not have anyone to help her, and i promise you, the whole queue became emotional, my ex started crying, the lady inform of her started crying and paid for everything, we helped carry her bags, and another lady offered to take her home since she had to walk, the old lady started crying and you could see how grateful she was...
It was very touching

I heard that the car guard / grounds keeper guy at the football club i used to play at had his bike stolen.
I was 11 at the time and had a bike which i hardly ever rode. I asked my parents to give it to him.
