    That's not kindness, that's favouritism.

    After the lecture, he's about to issue me a ticket, then he asks for my license. Asks is this my current address, to which I reply "It is indeed".

    He then says "that's a nice area you live in"

    Then hands back the license and says, "I live around the corner, I wouldn't do one on me own", wishes me Happy Christmas, gives me a wink and drives off

    I don't think this thread is going to go how you think it's going to go...

    Whoopsadaisy lifted my ban after I posted somthing even more inadvertently offensive than the usual foot-in-mouth stuff I manage to mangle out with my unthinking paws. I thought that was nice.:)

    A garda let you off a fine because you live near him, and you came to AH to let everyone know?

    This should be good.

    My very nice neighbour sent out her husband to pretend to be walking by & help me out when I had the car jacked up but couldn't get the nuts off.!

    Saved my dignity & possibly my foot!

    Thanks lovely & discreet neighbour!

    Pat Rabitte of the Labour party kindly admitting that his party lied to the electorate in order to get elected.:mad:

    Best act of kindness= young Labour senator Heffernan from Limerick not being happy with the lies and voting against the governments bill.:)

    I've been on the sunbed for 15 minutes a day ever since. She said she wanted me nice and tanned.:D

    I went for a job interview and the interviewer gave me the job because I had the same colour skin as him.

    Nice fella.

    When I was on crutches, I had kind staff in the likes of Starbucks bring down my drink to me as I couldn't carry it, other retail staff help me pack bags, a complete stranger stop me in a car park asking if she could help me with my trolley, and a member of staff in a supermarket ask if they could help me get my shopping done.

    Just small thoughtful acts which may not have taken much time, but meant a lot.

    Did you miss the pm where she mentioned the waxing requirements?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,324 ✭✭✭JustAThought


    I was out walking fido a year back on Bray Head & she managed to practically chop her toe off sprinting around a corner into glass. Had to carry a 35 kg bleeding & yowling dog for half an hour down in the mud & the rain back to my ( hire!) car.

    A super lovely lady working in the chemists came out to the carpark where she'd seen the carnival go by & me struggling & handed me out bandagages, cotton wool, the loan of a scissors & antiseptic wipes to try & put poor fido back together again to hold her until I could get the hours drive to my vet.

    Thank you lovely Bray pharmacist lady : )

    Got a phone call 10 o'clock this morning saying that the granny had fell and dis-located her shoulder on the way to mass!
    When she slipped a passing taxi driver stopped, picked her up, and rang home off her phone asking what to do , then decided on bringing her in his car and out to the hospital and helping her inside and at the end of it all she went to open the purse to give him something for his kindness but he insisted he wouldn't take a penny. He even called into the hospital later on, to check how she was and that someone was there with her.

    To that man, thank you. Granny didn't even catch his name.

    She forgot the chest, belly and armpits?

    We like our men smooth you know?

    On a serious note, while I gave out those examples below, I couldn't begin to remember all the small acts of kindness/courtesy I was shown on crutches. Meant that the odd time I did manage to get out of the house, I could in comfort go out and have a coffee/read a book and enjoy not looking at the same four walls.

    And buy the Oh his christmas gifts :)

    Acts of kindness: this didn't happen to me, it happened my sister.

    She'd been out in the pub when she noticed her handbag was missing. She was upset since her money, phone, keys and cigarettes were all in it.

    Some kind man asked her why she was upset and when she told him why, he bought her drinks, gave her cigarettes, paid for a kebab and took her home and had sex with her and gave her money for a taxi home. She didn't get his name though.

    If that guy wasn't a taxi driver I don't think you would be putting that here its just what anybody else would do really
