    The other day I had a huge problem that I couldn't fix - was stressing out having a coffee over it when a stranger asked me what was wrong , & I told them. Following day they had gone out of their way & fixed my problem. Couldn't believe it.

    Have you ever been saved by the kindness of a stranger?

    Can you give us some more detail? Otherwise your OP is wishy washy and frankly boring.

    Strangers are just friends that don't know your name

    Who got the movie rights to that?

    I'm thinking Sandra Bullock as Stranger and Ryan Gosling as Timmyctc (artistic licence)

    I fell into a big thing of muck once. Only for a passing stranger I would have done for. He told all of my classmates to stop laughing and for one of them to jump in after me.

    This radio programme has a bit near the end where people thank strangers from long a go e.g. saving my mother from choking while on Brighton pier aged 2

    I once bought a thingymabobyolkything but it was missing its left phalange. While I was sitting on the beach quietly sobbing and looking at the beautiful moon I heard a shadow behind me. When I turned around some helpful stranger had left a right phalange. The mob really need that left phalange to function, therefore so did I.


    So no a stranger has never saved me.

    2 cool Pakistani lads helped me out one night when a gang of aggressive rugger buggers decided they didn't like the look of me and proceeded to kick **** out of me and my then lady friend....

    I was only out of hospital from Surgery a week and it could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for their random act of kindness....
