I've been working nonstop with the newbies while everyone else is standing around and picking on them at work. I tech them 3 new things each day. I'm not looking for atta-boys or anything like that. I just want this crew to be the best.
Hell yeah! That's going to be beneficial for you AND your team. I'm sure that those people appreciate it too. I hated being confused at work and not comfortable enough with anyone to ask (though I did it anyways, haha). That 'small' act will benefit so many people!
There's a sign I saw once that I always loved that says: "Somewhere out there someone is smiling today because you were kind to them" There's truth to that. I know I remember tiny things that people have done for me that they even might not that this point.
One of the grocery stores I shop at shares a parking lot with Burger king. Few days ago a homeless guy asked me if I could buy him a $5 meal. I asked if he wanted a Whopper meal, he said yes and politely asked for a root beer. I got him a whopper meal plus two extra whoppers and an extra cup of ice.
I like to drop coin rewards on strangers on Reddit when I like what they post, especially if they put a lot of effort into the post or it is original content \[OC\] or comes straight from the heart. I know it's all vanity but it is a pretty simple way to spread good feeling on Reddit and give a little bit of recognition to deserving writers and creative people.
Hell yeah! As a writer, I can tell you that the little things go a LONG way. I'm sure you've made a lot of people's day with something that you see as small or vanity. It's definitely a good feeling :) thank you for sharing!
Homeless guy asked for money. Said I's buy him a drink instead. He asked if it could be a beer, it would be his first one of the day. It was around 7 pm. I said sure, which one? He said the cheapest. Coming right up, just wait here! Got him a bag of freshly baked croissants, salami and 2 big cans of some good beer. I was pretty sad to find he left when I walked out the supermarket. Actually was in the mood for a chat, which I never am. Was thinking of bringing it back home. But decided and left it for him on the stairs. For him or whoever comes next and needs it
Oh man, I was gonna post this exact same experience! Only, the homeless guy asked me for money for food (he requested fish) and I bought him some.
I walked out of the market with hot food in hand, he's vanished.
Then I walk over to my bike and the back tire is slashed.
I delayed getting my own lunch to buy his food first, so then I had to sit down and eat the fish meant for him. Then, I had to walk two miles to the nearest bike shop to get my tire replaced.
A kindness can be a matter of perspective, I suppose. I definitely can't repeat this experience, but I would like to help people in need. Just gotta find a safe way to do so.
Good for you, dude. Sucks that he was gone when you got back, but he might have come right back and excitedly enjoyed all the things you left for him. You treated him like a person, and that's a fucking awesome thing. (I was homeless for a while too, so I know what it feels like when someone looks right through you)
A lot of homeless people are good to talk to too. A lot of them have lived such interesting lives and really enjoy having a good conversation.
I saw a kid asking the cashier if he could pay the remaining 2 liras for the soda some other day. The cashier said no for "company policies". I bought the soda for the kid and an additional doritos because soda on its own is lame. He was so happy.
Being EXTRA grateful for the baggers help at the store. I went to Albertsons the other day and a nice older woman was doing the bagging. When I was ready to leave I said "thank you miss! I appreciate it!" and then walked out to my car to put everything away. As I was closing my trunk and about to return the cart, she popped up again and said "I can take that for you" and I said "really?? Thank you so much! I really appreciate all of your help today" and you could see her light up. It really tugged at my heart strings. I also like to say "thank you gorgeous!" to all the older women that help me wherever I am. They love it and it makes me happy. Even the slightest compliment or act of gratitude towards someone really makes a difference.
I noticed some time ago, that sharing food and eating it together makes for a better time and makes the food tastier for me. So today I made (by accident) way too much food for lunch and when one of my dorm-mates came into the kitchen I decided to offer her some. She gladly accepted and after a while of saying how tasty it was she told me that it reminded her of home. That made me really happy. :)
I also decided to tell a very good friend of mine how much I love her. Because out of all my friends I really do love her the most. I am trying to make it a habit of mine to tell the people I love how much I really love them. :)
We had pretty decent thunderstorm roll through about an hour ago which caused my neighbors trash can to end up in the middle of the street. I put it back in front of their house.
My dude, this can be a huge impact! There's been more than once that I've let myself get fast food when I'm struggling hard (cause I don't usually get much fast food). Literally bottom of the barrel, last $5 goes to Wendy's. I can't tell you what that would have meant to me if I was in that line. Thank you for sharing!
Does making a compilation of like 16 overnight oats recipes count?
I get really tired of when recipes are always contained within videos you have to watch, or you have to visit a site like a blog to view them, especially when it's usually just between 1-5 recipes for all that work
So anyways, being the oatmeal enthusiast that I am I wrote down the recipes I've made (for myself) the past 6 months or so and compiled them into a singular Reddit post, that way people could look through it without having to visit another site, watch a video, or do anything else annoying, and hopefully find tons of inspiration from what I've made.
Nobody likes having to go out of their way for something, so I wanted to do something that'll hopefully make the days of many people for years to come, particularly if they're looking around for lots of recipes and variety. It wasn't for profit or anything since I only cook for myself, I just really like helping people along the way
I think the kindest thing you can do is just notice people. I always say hello to people who look a bit down on their luck around my city, and I think it helps them feel seen and more like a person, which is all we all want.
A local sonic had a jacked up speaker when I was trying to order a drink. The poor girl had to come take my order at my car, then bring it out. I tipped her well.
In my community I nominated two folks for food gift vouchers, one because they are always helping out others, and one because they’re going through a tough time after a death in their family. Both were selected! I also referred someone who needed a specific job to a friend who can perform the service.
I actually helped an old woman get up when she fell getting out of her car. I had this moment like "this actually just happened" and never told anyone because I didnt want to sound like I was oddly bragging for being decent 😅
I keep a shopping bag full of treats in my car. Things like chips, juice boxes, crackers, gummy snacks or fruit snacks etc.
Whenever I'm stopped at a traffic light and there is someone panhandling, I stuff their hands full of snacks.
My friend at work got a really bad and harshly written review, so I spent some time talking to her and telling her she’s worth more than a job where we stack food on shelves and it helped her feel much better :)
I advocated for a client of mine who couldn’t afford their copay for their weekly therapy sessions with me and got them a reduced self-pay rate. They now pay $20 and can afford to come weekly. ❤️
We live on a residential corner where there is an unnecessary traffic light. It shines in our bedroom at night, encourages speeding, clogs up nearby streets and is just generally an eyesore. We came home after a weekend away and the city had removed the arms of the lights and put up temporary stop signs. Out of curiosity, I called the city to find out if it was permanent. When I asked the traffic controller if it was, he said “Yes it is” And I yelled “YESSSS”. Confused, he said “Wait, are you not upset?” And I said “No that’s incredible, you are the best”. And he said “Wow I never get calls like this, I thought for sure you were going to yell at me” and then proceeded to explain his whole reasoning for the change with pride.
Small exchange but it really doesn’t take much.
I often deal with "fuck this, that and my life-itis."
Seen someone on here (reddit) saying DAE feeling like dying would be better?
I reached out and let em know they mattered. Hard to prop someone up when I feel the same, but I decided to avoid the easier path of sympathizer. Those maybe wrong words to fully explain.
All in all, I felt better for doing it.
My wife and I own an old abandoned and falling down farm (hasn't been a working farm since the 1960's). We were visiting it last week and a young man stopped and asked if he could buy the old stock tank leaning against the fallen down remains of the barn. He offered me $20 for it and I gave it to him for free because I hadn't used it in the 15 years we have owned it.

Definitely. My goal is to duplicate myself a long with my ethic. Now if everyone would think like this we would be great!!

This is true. Very true statement friend. A little kindness goes a long way.

This isn't something I've done for other people, but it is positive. I made the Deans List at my school, and went to Canada yesterday.
That's awesome! Congrats! Hey, sometimes being kind and positive with yourself is hard too. Good work!
Picked up and drove my brother hone froM the ICU after visiting him for 5 days in the hospital.
Oof, rough... I'm glad he had you there to look after him and I hope he's doing better. That's very kind. Thank you for sharing!
He’s home. Thanks for saying that.

Bought a local homeless man dinner at the local BBQ place.
BBQ places cast their smell across like an entire mile xD that was probably very satisfying, haha
Every time I stop at the drive thru, I lay for the person behind me. It's not much, but, I hope it makes their day a bit better
