    Yesterday, I baked a massive chocolate biscuit cake and brought it into work with paper plates and forks for everyone.

    Probably the most lick-arsey thing I've done since I started the job but fcuk it, I am now the office hero.

    What's the nicest thing you've done so far this week? Who did it benefit? On a scale of one to ten, how smug do you feel?

    I helped about a dozen clueless erasmus students with finding accommodation in Galway after they missed out on the room I had listed. Admittedly I was just trying to avoid my thesis, but still, I'm great.

    Some random person asked me if I had change of a fiver for the bus, I just gave her the bus fare and politely told her to GTF when she tried handing me the fiver.
    I'm a big believer in karma and try to be a nice guy so tend to do a decent enough random acts.

    I did my neighbour's tax return for him and it came back today and he doesn't owe anything. For free.

    If my accountant is reading this, I'm thinking of doing my own from now on ya big crook.

    This mad one brought a cake into work the other day that tasted horrible. I complimented her on it though because I didn't want her to feel bad.

    My boyfriend hurt his back, so I dropped over with painkillers, deep heat, dinner, books, cigarettes, and gave him a back massage. Usually I'm quite mean to him

    Tolerated my sanctimonius mother-in-law and her simpering smiles. I even missed three shows I love because she was visiting.

    There's no enthusiasm or feedback when I talk to her; she just sits there with a fixed smile on her face and she's so condascending.
    The nice thing I did was not hit her. Or the drinks cabinet.

    Restored an old lads tractor.

    The look on his face when I got her turning over was priceless tbh.


    Didn't even feel guilty when he give me his cheque. :)



    (i should add I was very cheap apparently) fair price, fair job.

    Gave some young lad who was loaded outside the bookies a fiver for a load of ****ty change that amounted to about 1.20 cent, then gave have him enough baccy for a few fags. I admired his honesty,'I'm not even gonna gamble with it I just want a bottle of cider!'. He also then asked me for the euro back for a bag of chips! Where the **** do ya get a bag of chips for a euro these days. Gave it to him and all,then seen walk round the corner to the other bookies down the road. Knew where it was going all along but feel sad for these people.

    I gave a friend a heads up on a job opening that he'd be perfect for, even though I'm half considering applying for it myself.

    Neither of us have all the required qualifications, but we'd be aiming at it from two very different backgrounds so I reckon it's fair game :)

    Favours like that will always be remembered.

    The nicest thing I did this week was that I thanked your post.

    But then I realised that you didn't offer my any of the cake so I removed it.

    Helped eject two oxygen thieving Spanish gypsies from my favourite local cafe after sitting through a 5 minute tirade of racist comments and intimidation directed at the Chinese owner. Wasn't going to get involved any more than verbally until one of the little ****s lit up, blew smoke in my face and asked me if I wanted to fight for looking at him. I obliged him.
