Random good deeds and acts of kindness

This thread is a great idea RT, there's lots of good positive going on all the time.

A little something happened to me today - a pal from my bar has just got hold of a 125 Intruder, first step on the road to a big bike. So this afternoon he popped round to my place and I fitted him out with a new helmet, leather trousers, gloves, neck warmer. Now he can go out and ride that little bit safer.

 

I was once following a car towing a boat. The trailer was weaving all over the place and as I accelerated past it, noticed the tyre was flat on the trailer. At the next village, I waved him down, he looked terrified, and actually thought I was police. Informed of his deflated tyre and told him to follow me 2 miles down the road to my house, where I lent him a pump. The tyre was red hot and doubt it would have lasted a few more miles.

 

I'll see your spuds and raise you old lady with stuck petrol cap!!!
I did love the fear in her face change to gratitude, made me chuckle.

 

I was in the que the other day at the local grocer and the old lady in front of me was short of cash. Unaware that I was behind her she frantically searched for coins and notes to pay the cashier when I stuck a 50 rand note into the cashiers hand and said it's fine. The old auntie was real prim and proper and did not want to know nothing about anybody helping with money. She kept searching and searching in her bag and by now she was more concerned about owing me than the teller and said she is going to draw the cash at the teller outside immediately despite me telling her it's fine really, it was only 13 rand that she was short. As the old lady stormed out to the atm me and the cashier had a chuckle, I paid for my items and left. I never saw her again.

 

You can't win 'em all Angus, but what you did was out of kindness and that's a very GOOD thing.

 

What, Your spuds?

 

This was years ago but I couldn't believe the guy at the time...….Driving my 1981 Scania in Spain (Granollers near Barcelona)the old girl boiled over. Cooling system full of yellow sludge (Thanks to an English mechanic!) it popped piston 7 & 8. I was marooned for 11 days in total. Mechanic didn't speak English nor I Spanish bit by day 11 we could get by & kinda understand each other. Lots of calls between me my boss & Scania uk & the bloody idiot who serviced it the week before! Any how, im stuck there so "Antonio" & his dad give me a opel ascona(cavalier) for the duration of my stay!!! What a family these folks were. In the afternoon I helped their kids with English homework lol(god help em lol) but with their help I could talk to Antonio & the family about the truck. Time came to leave we all had a big steak family lunch & id filled his car with fuel as a small thanks. When he clocked the fuel gauge he tipped!!!! Not happy at all id done that.
Awesome unforgettable family!!!!!

 

Well done that man, I like the red ones BTW.
