    Usually kick small kids off bikes and shout "YOU WILL REMEMBEBR ME FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE YA LIL B!TCH" then scamper off.

    Pushed an old woman into a bin once and also hit a blind man a wallop for giving me cheek.

    Broke Cmol's leg too when i was pished

    I get the odd email from exiled Nigerian princes offering me one million (1,000,000) euros if that counts.

    Is this the interesting thread you promised in the other thread?


    EDIT: Random acts of cruelty are way more interesting and commonplace. Years ago I was walking along with a friend when we heard a kid about 13 tell a little boy about 6 that a certain fat guy doesn't exist.

    We pulled the 13 yr old off his bike and dumped it over a high wall. I felt good.

    I balance out your random acts of kindness with my focused and premeditated acts of violence and meanness.

    Its karmasutral, ya know yim and yam. Chinese black and white swirl balance in nature and ****...

    I loved that ad that was up in Dublin recently at the point

    "Commit random acts of kindness and senseless beauty"

    I have to admit to committing a few in my time and even receiving a few. It always brings a warm fuzzy glow.

    I nominated Mord for troll of the year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Ok on a serious note, yes I have helped a few old ladies across the road, a nun, a few blind people who lost their bearings. Odd homeless dude's on the way to work and even helped an old woman with her shopping one day.

    Nice-burt

    Random acts of kindness are the best thing you can do. You can make someone's day just by doing the nice thing without reward.

    I try and do these wherever possible. I actually met a very close friend of mine through a random act of kindness.

    I was in a shopping centre recently and a woman ahead of me in the queue enquired of the price of an untagged item, a man's causal shirt. Disappointed that she was 10 euro short of the asking price, she edged away from the counter. I had just reached into my pocket in rediness to pay for my own purchase and in my hand was a sum of money including a 10 euro note. Spontaneously the money was handed to the unknown woman and she was able to pay for her chosen article, a birthday present for her boyfriend. Everybody happy. Acts of kindness, yes they happen! Are they random?
