    I was going to see a movie this evening, while I was waiting to buy my ticket I notice a couple talking to the guy that takes the tickets saying they couldn't leave to kids on their own as the movie was 12 rating.
    I seen the mother was going to buy a ticket so one of them could stay with the kids. I offered to go in with there kids as we where going into the same movie and it would save them buying a ticket.

    I thought I did a good deed for the family.

    So did anyone do a good deed today

    The times we live in, that and the fact you posted in After Hours! I am a pay it forward kind of person and getting on a bit now so have stopped completely given my experiences. There was the incident when I gave someone an introduction to a vacant job, 6 weeks later they lost their leg in an accident at work! Then there was the time I minded a friends 4 children as she took her infant to A&E, decided the park would be the safest place to take them. Met Mum exiting A&E as I arrived in a taxi with all four kids, one of her son's sporting a broken and gushing nose! Despite the fact it was an accident our friendship was never the same.

    Those are just two incidents but I have more...at this stage I just sympathise with a persons difficulties and move on!

    I'm sick of doing good deeds, always doing the right thing in the hope that good things will happen for me but they never do.
    Karma is a load of boll0cks, time to become an arsehole like everyone else.

    If you act the arsehole with someone, they probably deserve it anyway. So in a way you are just bringing the bad karma to people who have earned it. You'd be doing the world a favour really.

    Speaking of good deeds,

    A few months ago i was lost, this was late at night, i approached a woman with a crutch, i asked her for directions to the nearest tube station. When she realised the tube station would be closed by the time i got there, she offered to give me a lift all the way to my home. I initially refused because as i told her i could be anyone, but she insisted, she said she had a good feeling about me. This woman then informed me, in the car, she had been delayed in an airport for several hours earlier that day, and that when she got home she resolved to help someone, then you turned up, she said.
    At the end of the journey, she refused my offer of money. She asked me to do a good deed for someone else instead.

    I came out of work last week to find my bicycle seat gone and a piece of paper over the bar where the seat should have been with, "Your bicycle seat in the DHL office". I went in and according to one of the guys in there, one of his colleagues who worked there stopped a guy trying to steal it and brought it inside to keep it safe. I got the guys name and bought him a box of Belgian chocolates and a card to thank him and he just happened to be in the reception when I went in the following day. Really nice man and he seemed really touched by the chocolates and regaled the whole story to me. It was a really nice moment.


    Life would be infinitely better if we all kept a little eye out for one another.

    Basically he stared at you from his office window everyday for months as you locked your bike before work. One day the urge got too much and he stole your saddle, probably sniffed it too. Concocted a story about theft and got his buddy in on the act. Seems to have worked :) high five him for me :)

    I've got a vaginal fungal infection and herpes and my washing machine is on the blink so haven't worn a clean pair of knickers since 2006.




    May his nose become infected and fall off leaving a gaping hole in his face where mice will come to nest for all eternity from sniffing the bicycle seat!


    Ha! Curse you to hell, Fernando...curse you to hell! Rooohahahaha!































































    Ha!

    Trump paying his debts might be a good deed. This was just a publicity stunt. What's up with the combover?

    I hope this is not true. For your sake. Otherwise my good deed will be to pray for you.

    Precisely.

    This is my fear for people like the lady I mentioned. For all she knew i could have been rapist or a burglar. As you say such kindness does result in terrible consequences.

    Continue.

    ok.

    I stayed an hour after work one day to help a couple move furniture into their flat. I was very tired, but remembered what that lady had done for me, so i did it. I also gave up a night out that I had been looking forward to bring someone I worked with to Gatwick recently.

    Once in the early 90's while in America I got an invite to take part in a video shoot for an up and coming band, while there I noticed that the background was a kind of painted canvas (this was in the days before CGI), the background scenery was moved manually via a system of gears connected to a bicycle which would rotate said system. An elderly man was charged with the responsibility of peddling and thus giving the system forward momentum for the background scenery to move... and so change. There was a brief interlude and I took the opportunity to bring the elderly man a glass of milk. The band heard of my kindly act and incorporated my good deed into the music video, using a small black dorky girl in my place. The elderly man himself featured in the video smoking a pipe with kind of knowing look, or it may have been that he'd pissed himself or was considering some quick noncery.

    No way I would leave my kids away into a dark cinema where some stranger says he'll watch over them for me.

    Good on ye cena, those parents probably went home to have sex afterwards.

    Genuine altruistic behaviour wouldn't involve needing to tell everybody about your good deed. Story would have been better if the mother came on and told about it

    What has a crutch got to do with the story?

    That's carried so the security at the airport wouldn't suspect she was a drug smuggler.

    Physical flaws garner sympathy and deflect possible suspicion.

    Of course she wanted help. She just made it look like she was doing him a favour.

    She only told him that the Tube station he was looking for, would be closed soon.

    The truth is, that Tube station never closes and she needed him so that they could pass through Police checkpoints looking like an ordinary couple.

    Come on. Do you really think she is innocent? She's obviously a drug smuggling cold blooded killer.
