It was 13 years ago, I was doing a couple of courses in France. When I was spending a weekend in Nice/Cannes, I bumped into an Australian whom I met the previous weekend cycling in the Loire Valley. Because I was travelling alone, for safety measure, I had booked myself into a decent hotel in the centre of town. The guy was a poor backpacker staying in a hostel up the hill in Nice. By the time he could get back to the hostel there would have been no hot water left for a decent shower. I invited him to my hotel room and let him use my bathroom. You should have seen how happy he was getting clean fluffy towel, proper shampoo and soap, for the first time in 3 months. No, before you ask, he was a real gentleman and nothing happened. He just thanked me and left after his long shower. It's funny 12 years later I ended up migrating to his country! May be I should dig up his home address and email and see if he's still around...

I am ashamed to say i have done an act of kidness but at first i thought the worst,whilst going about my duties as a childminder and dropping the little girl i was looking after off to her mum at the dr's surgery she worked at i was approached by two teenage boys like i say at first i thought the worst as they were wearing hoodies and it was 6.30 at night and getting dark. one lad politely asked if i could spare 50p for the bus as they had been arrested in west brom and taken to walsall police station where they were released without charge as they were wrongly arrested knowing that they were both over the age of 16 and would not be able to get a bus to west brom on 50p i gave them £2 it doesn't seem alot but would have paid their fares upon which they asked if they could fold up my pushchair and get the children in the car i must say up until this point i was worried they were going to try and mug me or steal my car but it showed me not to judge a book by it's cover. I also quite often help out an old guy who hangs around walsall when i go out with my mate he sits outside with his dog not asking for anything just a bit of conversation from people passing he sits there as his council flat is not very habitable so me and my friend buy him a bag of chips and take a hide bone for his lovely dog and also stand and have a chat with him it only takes 10 mins out of our night but means a lot to him that somebody cares.

One night I was in Streatham, S London, waiting for a bus near the common. I was hoping the last bus would come along, as it was nearly 1am,and the place was almost deserted.

Only other people at the stop were a girl (about my age) and a burly guy- initially I thought they were together but soon realised he was trying to pick her up and she wasn't interested. So I turned around , and said 'Oh hi- I didn't see you there, how are you?' Bloke told me to Fxxx off, but I ignored him and said to the girl ' how is your mum now, she wasn't well long ago'... she joined in with this vague conversation and bloke left.(and no I did not know this woman at all!)
She was immensely grateful as he had followed her from central london and he had just started getting heavy. Who knows what might have happened (rape went through my mind) but at least it never got that far.
It actually made me realise that sometimes you can prevent trouble with no hassle and that a burly bullying man is no match for two determined females!

This is a very interesting thread.

I always try to treat people as I would like to be treated whether they reciprocate or not, I usually let other people's rudeness and ignorance sail over my head - life is too short!

I saw this blind bloke with his dog the other day standing at the traffic lights.

The dog must have been caught short because it thought the blokes leg was a lampposr & urinated on it.

I couldn’t believe it when the blind bloke bent down, patted its head and gave it a biscuit.

I had to tell the bloke that I had just witnessed one of the kindest gestures ever, to which he replied that he was just finding out its mouth end, because he was going to give it a kick in the b ollocks

LOL, I did this once to a tramp on the streets of Truro, He was begging for money so I went into the oggy oggy pasty co. and bought him a pasty. When I handed it to him his face lit up in.....RAGE!! he then piled forth a string of 4 letter words and told me to F off. I guess he didn't like pasties.

Must be them shoes your wear

I am a huge animal lover and my family always joke caling me cat or dog woman. I have had many incidnets involving animals but this one sticks as it was so horrible to witness...

Coming home from work one day and I was driving down this hill which lead into my road home and I saw this quick flash of a black cat run out infront of me. It was running scared so to speak and then I saw it run straight into the wheels of a car.!! Sorry for this bit but I swear I saw it go round in the wheel before scampering into a near by garden. Needless to say the effing driver just carried on..christ how can people do that. I had stopped and got out my car screaming blue murder in the street after this driver. So that was it no way was I going to let this cat die in some garden scared to death! I was in and out of people garden's in the pitch black. One family came out and asked me of course what I was doing and once I told them they also helped me look. Wasn't long before we found the cat but it ran ( god knows how) across the street and inbetween a garage and the house. So yet more people got involved as I had to scamper round their gardens. The look on these people's faces. I even phoned my mum on my moby and she walked down the road to try and help.....and then the cat ran again this time into another garden so of I went.This time it was just curled up on the door mat so I took of my suit jacket and crawled on all fours to this cat and very quickly with alot of gentle words put my jacket over it and picked it up. I got someone to knock on the door of this house and yep you got it..it was the owners house. The poor lady and family were so shocked and in tears. Anyway we phoned the local vets and I went with the owner (whilst hubby stayed with the kids), needless to say the little pussy cat was kept in and treated for it's injuries. The owner was of course very thankful. A few days later I got a card trhough my door and a voucher saying a huge thank you and that if I hadn't done what I did then the vet had said the cat would more than likey died.
I just couldn't have slept knowing that cat was lying somewhere probably dying. I know people who helped me thought I was mad as a few times they just said to leave it but mad I am...and proud of it. Act from the heart....

What a wonderful human being you are, I adore animals of all kinds but particulary cats and it reminded me of an incident when I was younger. I was only about 8-10 when a group of teenagers knocked on our front door one night to ask if we owned a cat that they had found run over on the road. We didn't own a cat but my mum took it in, bundled it up and took it to the vet. We put up notices in the local paper shop and a young couple claimed it. It did survive and lost an eye but we went round to visit it later and it was quite well. The couple were very grateful and paid the vet bill and bought my mum a box of chocs which was very nice.

Awww bless that's a luvvlyyyy story too.

I can relate to that....was in a coffee shop in Guildford t'other day when this Romanian woman came in carrying a baby and holding a piece of paper saying 'hungry & homeless - please help'......

She did the rounds and people were giving her small change...she finally got to our table and the person I was with offered her an unopened pack of fresh sandwiches.......she promptly turned her nose up and gave a look of utter discust as she walked off!!!!!!!!

Couldn't have been that bloomin hungry!!!

It is people like this that are responsible for the lack of good gestures and human kindness that we find in society today.......trouble is there are too many bloomin scroungers!!!
