    I have 2 questions I'm dying to ask, this is the first. What is the nicest, kindest, most selfless thing YOU did today?? Not many oppertunities presented themselves to me, but I went and found a book in the library that I knew my friend would appreciate. And I helped this foreign dude find the place he was looking for. Random acts of kindness...how nice. I'm no saint........but what was the nicest thing you did today????

    Wow, looking for a pat on the back from the internet for something as simple as getting a book out from the library or giving someone directions is rather pathetic.

    I did nothing productive at all today, and I'm proud of that.

    I went to Borders and bought a book for my friend as a gift just for being my friend, he was really happy.. Then I met a foreign guy looking for the airport but I didn't know how to explain so I drove him there myself, then I went and donated some blood, went to an orphanage to read some stories to the kids and then saved a child from a burning building.. Just came online to see if I got an email from my pen pal in Guatemala, now I'm just off out to help out in the soup kitchen. Cheerio!

    I got out of bed and spoke to someone on the phone. I will now go for a piss.

    I actually came into work early today. This by no means excuses the 90% lateness which I normally operate on, but I felt that people did appreciate it.

    Oh and I nearly gave way to a BMW driver who was stuck in her driveway for ages. But then I remembered I'd be doing the world a greater service by keeping her in there.

    Said "Good Morning" to an old man.

    It's only 09:05, plenty of time left in the day.

    Gave an old woman my seat on the bus. Thats my good deed for the day... in the wise words of Stewie Griffin...."Time to be Bad"

    I did not masturbate in work!

    I spared the life of the student with the really annoyingly loud headphones beside me on the bus. But some day, I won't.

    I had a really long post for this until I realised that I had misread the title. I thought it was "what is the incest thing you did today."

    Oh well...

    Yesterday: Gave my sister-in-law a driving lesson(even though I was not really up for it!)
    Today: ....its early yet

    Although I raised my middle finger out the window at a range rover that tried to cut me in, I restricted finger exposure to a few seconds and didn't beep my horn.

    I refrained from kicking the dog in the balls after it sh1t on the carpet. Tomorrow might be a different matter however.

    I confirmed my availability to do some charity work...but I made the call in work and talked really loudly so eveyone would know how nice I am, thus cancelling it out as a nice thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 255 ✭✭baglady


    lol totally not looking for a pat on the back, was quite buzzed when I got home last night, and generally in a fabulously happy mood. So no, don't need uplift from internet stranger - THAT would be sad, just rather thought I could get some funny responses. mission accomplished!

    I got out of bed 20 minutes ago. So that.

    I'm surprised. A golden opportunity for a legitimate "Yore Ma" pops up in AH and nobody bites.

    I took the last fork in work even though there was a nice lady behind be who would be eating her pasta with a spoon. I though it was nice because i was eating noddles the day before with a spoon and managed to splash stuff all over my shirt so this way people dont have to look at my messy shirt.

    Backed out a nutty hawser of generous girth and good deep colour into the pan at work.

    Flushed her away and removed impact debris with the brush.

    Put down the seat,wiped it with toilet tissue,closed the lid, and flushed again just to make sure.

    Lit a match to burn off the giff and back to my office.

    I'm just off the phone to the Vatican. They are cautiously optimistic about your sainthood prospects.

    I was walking through Central London and decided to stop for a coffee. I was busy reading my paper when this weird looking guy with a flat cap and a white goatee came up and asked if he could join me. I said ok. We got chatting and he was telling me he was just back from three years in the Far East where he was working with children. He said he especially enjoyed making music with the children and asked if I had any children as he would happily give them guitar lessons. Sounded very interesting. Anyway, I had to dash. He asked if we could exchange mobile numbers as he didn't have many friends in the vicinity. We exchanged numbers and both went on our way.

    I'm afraid my good deed posted at half ten this morning has been cancelled out. Unfortunately, I had to square up to a wasp as it was looking at me in a funny way. It was no match for me and my trusty stapler and will no longer fly free as a bird through the heavens.

    RIP wasp :(

    i just about managed to avoid causing a massive pile-up on the M50 today!!

    i thought that was rather nice for all the other commuters!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭truecrippler


    Worked my ass off in a certain Super Market and got a lashing off the main guy of this chain that just happened to visit there today. Little does he realise how hard I work. So I just smiled at him and walked off. He can go **** himself.
    Thank Allah Im back to college in 2 weeks.

    Had to get that off my chest. It doesn't always pay to be nice.

    Sent my mate a phone number so he could try and sort himself out with drugs for the weekend.

    What? That's a good deed as long as he doesn't Katy French it, right?

    Thats hilarious. I applaud you! :D

    Well I work in the helath service, and I made a few decisions today that should have been passed by my superior but I did'nt because Im knew what she would say. So basically I helped this really nice patient with an appointment and all the flack is going to fall on my shoulders tomorrow, but it'll be worth it and it was worth it today when the patient told me how happy he was!

    I got dressed. (Tracksuit bottoms.) I love days off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,737 ✭✭✭BroomBurner


    I helped a customer out today, which seemed to ease his frustration*. It was an "above and beyond" type of help. The feel-good factor is always nice :)


    *I'm not a prostitute, just don't wanna say where I work... :D
