Pandas, What Was A Moment When A Stranger Did Something Really Nice For You? (Ended)

My cousin and I were at a trampoline park and he wanted to get some candy but none of us had any money The lady behind us paid for it. It's random acts of kindness like this : )

every day. people talk to me like they DON"T think I'm annoying.

There was a big storm while we were on a road trip and we stopped at a gas station to get food, and wait out the storm a while. We had made ourselves some cup o noodles but we couldn't find forks. Luckily this kind lady called Keisha, helped us and asked some Starbucks employee to get "us two babies" some forks. She was really nice, and I wont forget Miss. Keisha. We could've just gotten over our social anxiety and just asked for forks our selves but I'm real grateful we didn't have to.

I didn't so much as experience this as hear about it. There were two officers doing their rounds (in New York City I believe) and they walked by an ally. Now, there didn't seem to be anything odd about this ally, until a stray puppy walked out. The little dog trotted out and sat on one of the officer's shoes! The officer then brought it back to the station, but that puppy only had eyes for the one officer. Last I heard, the officer is in the process of adopting that puppy. :)

Once, I was lost in Disney World because I was staring at some toys in a shop, and my parents kept walking. As soon as I noticed I was lost, an elderly couple came by. I asked them if they had seen my parents. They said no, but they spent the rest of the afternoon helping me try to find my parents, even though that was their last day in Disney. And to top it all off, once we found my parents, they bought me the toy I was staring at when my parents accidentally left without me.

I have had complete strangers from the internet contribute toward my beloved dog’s surgery costs: https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-miracle-for-marzipan

We aren’t out of the woods yet, but the kindness of those strangers will stay with me forever.

or when I and my bro were at QT and we needed 2 more dollars and this random lady behind us paid for it

At McDonald's, a woman paid for out food (The woman in front of us in the drive-thru) It's small but nice :D

When I was like 7, I went to Utah for the first time while it was snowing! (I live in the dry desert so we don’t ever get snow) so me and my cousins went and thought that it was so “bad” to go and dust the snow off peoples cars. So when we were in the middle of doing so, the garage opened. We all scattered and hid. The guy was equipped with something you would use to take the snow off a car. But his job was already done, for we had done it for him. He saw our little heads poking out and we thought we were in trouble. However the guy said “hey! You saved me from being late to work!” And he gave us candy 😄

Many years ago the Seattle Art Museum had a showing of Impressionist paintings from the Louvre. It was attracting massive crowds. On the last day of the exhibit, I got there very early only to find the line already going around the block. After two hours, we were told that it would still be about four hours before we made it to the front of the line but that if anyone bought a season's pass to the museum, they could go in right away. The woman behind me (a stranger) decided to buy the pass, so she left the line and went in. I didn't have the money for a season pass and was debating whether or not I wanted to wait another four hours or just go home. Then I noticed the woman walking back down the line, looking intently at everyone she passed. She noticed me and said that she bought season passes for her and her boyfriend but he was out of town. So she gave me his ticket for the day and then she headed back into the museum before I could even thank her. It was so cool to be able to leave the line and walk right into the showing when I was expecting a four hour wait!

After getting away from an abusive relationship, I went to a local Catholic Charity to ask for clothing suitable to a job interview. I was encouraged to accept as much clothing as I wished so I would have enough for at least a week's work. As I chose the items, the woman left the room. When she came back she was carrying 4 bags of food for my son and I. That was 20 years ago and I still weep when remembering her kindness. (I got the job. My son and I got back on our feet.)

the first thing I can think of is at chick-fil-a when I was off 81cents ad the lady working there didn't make me pay it.

I was at a wal-mart and i was in the check out line and I dropped something and I didn't have a cart at all so I used my arms to carry everything, and this person comes and takes my stuff out of my arms and puts it on the conveyor belt and I didn't have enough money on me so the person in the next lane over gave me a dollar to pay for my things

I’m not sure it even counts but it made me feel good so here it is. I was like 8 years old and I was on a trip in a different state for vacation. When I was in the car going back to the airport I was doing the thing where you look out the window all serious and pretend to be in a music video. We passed another car with another girl about my age and she waved to me, and I waved back. It was so small but it just made me feel so good inside seeing another kid in a car just like me and waving to each other. Since I left that day I never saw her again.

Someone paid for my food at McDonalds. We also did it for the people behind us and the chain according to the cashier, went on for the whole day. That's what one act of kindness can do. Be kind today.

It wasn't for me directly, but because of my brother. A bunch of strangers from an amazing organization built a playground for my brother. They even took us out to breakfast and to a place for an activity of our choice (we chose the Children's Museum). He has a brain tumor, and has had one since he was 4 months old. We knew a few people, but at least 15 others we didn't know where there. If you guys want, I'll give you a link to the website. They are a nonprofit organization that does this for a lot of families. We've joined them for many events since. They're awesome people.

It was last week when I voted early at FAMU in Florida. I’m in a walker after hip surgery. I asked the young man at the ballot box drop off station, while in my car, where handicapped parking was since I’d come to vote in person. He pointed down the road. When I got to the lot it turned out it was on a steep hill. I got out of my car but decided there was no way I could get up the hill and down the road a block On my own and I was preparing to leave, massively disappointed, when there he came, having found someone else to take care of his station,, to help me.

It took me an hour to vote even though there was no line, and he was at my side the whole way. It was an awesome achievement for me. And it was only possible because of his spirit.

I was ten years old, and I was at a summer camp. For some background, at home I was being abused by an uncaring father who's favorite thing to tell me was how stupid I was, how greedy, and what a bad person. A friend of mine was joking around and told me that I was stupid, which eventually triggered me into a panic attack. I was hyperventilating and crying in the middle of a large group, but one camp leader noticed. She pulled me away from the crowd, had me take a walk with her to find a bench. She didn't even know my name, but she pulled me in her lap and hugged me tight, rocking me and wiping my tears away when I finished. Every time my mind falls to the words of my ex-father, I instead turn my mind to her. I will never forget that day, and looking back on it from a much better place and mental wellness view, it still makes me smile.

I'm a mom and my 11 year old daughter has a savings account we get mail of how much she has in her account every month and I just gave it to her i never looked at them myself little did i know she was saving up to buy my husband a brand new 1971 chevelle and oldie car for christmas i could not believe it when she told me she saved that much money over the years to buy him that i was so impressed and she is so amazing she means the world to me and my husband he was so happy and i was to! i'm so proud and i can't tell she will always be a daddy's girl!

I was an older college student (in my 40's) and didn't have a lot of money. I was in the snack bar and wanted a bottled drink. I got it out of the cooler, counted my money, decided I didn't have enough, and put it back. Some younger college students saw me and insisted on paying for it. I told them they didn't have to do that, but they wanted to. That was so nice of them. I have payed it forward several times since then.
