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.

I'm great friends with the breakfast lady in the dining hall where I work, and I gave her grandson advice on applying for a course he wants to do, introduced him to someone who could coach him with his application, and a bit of a tour. Lovely lad he was too, hope he's successful next year.

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.

I scanned that wrongly at first, :eek: and was hoping that you and the friend to whom you gave (a) head(s up) didn't come to blow(s over that) job.

Holdonasecond, I just remembered one I'm always doing!

I left every public toilet I dealt with in better shape than when I came to it, some significantly so. I'm like some kind of creepy public toilet cleaning saint, they'll put murals of me up on the walls of every cubicle in NUIG when I'm gone, looking down at the (hopefully) clean bowls with a big proud smile on my face.

Everybody walk away. Sloooowly.

Echoing the frustrations of the locals here who rightly have no time for them either. They aren't regular Spanish, and in the last 6 months or so have really damaged a lot of property in the neighbourhood. Just as well I'm moving on soon.

Ah aren't ye all lovely, a pack of aul softies in here, who'd a thunk it.

Except Karl Stein.

I went for a massage. It only benefited me.

15-08-2014 11:26PM

This wasn't a good week for doing nice things because I'm on my holipops so my interaction with people was more limited than usual!

I bought a friend a pressie though!

Also gave someone directions. Gave some tourists from engerland some ideas for their holipops.

That's all really

pharmaton · 15-08-2014 11:29PM

I too brought goodies to work, mostly though because I've finished the month training in that area and will be moved elsewhere come Monday. Chocs for the girls in office and gave the boss a gift too. I suppose its brown nosing but I'd rather leave on a high note, knowing I can ask for a reference and having some closure.

I don't think you'd make a very happy whoopsa if it was "THAT" time of the month.
I reckon you're a right crank

I was trying to figure out how you knew the tourists were also on their holihops

stefan idiot jones · 15-08-2014 11:37PM

Went snorkelling yesterday on my day off.

All on my own.

Didn't bring my family with me to stand around for two hours watching a fat wetsuited man take photos of fish for his own enjoyment.

That's it I'm afraid.

I bet it was a delicious cake, it was certainly a thoughtful thing to do, and you're probably a lovely person.

Stray dog roaming the estate, was very friendly so brought out a bowl of food and water to her and she wolfed up both. Done a quick look on facebook and a woman had posted up that she was looking for her dog for 5 hours.
We PM her and within ten minutes her and one of her kids arrived, it turns out the dog was 13 years old and they had feared the old dog had gone off somewhere to die. It was a great scene to see people reunited with a dog that was genuinely one of their family, they both started crying when they saw the dog.
They dropped down a box of chocs the other day too!

That's a beautiful story
Now I have an important question.

What chocolates were they and is there a reason you're not sharing them?

pasty · 16-08-2014 12:01AM

I stopped an argument between 2 people, now can I have some cake?

Lou.m · 16-08-2014 12:03AM

Most of my nice 'missions' are top secret.

I have numerous ongoing nice operations. They are coming together nicely.

You'll never see me coming.

Some less top secret missions include me helping at the DSPCA most weeks. I did that twice. Erm ...it's not really nice...I get to hug cute things.

I helped my mother help an elderly aunt....I dunno if that's nice really. I bought some suspended coffees. Gave to random charity stuff. I actually went on a bit of anon charity spree. I had to stop it was getting compulsive. 'Amelie' sponsored three random people in a charity event. Her sister lalealynn had a bit of go as well. I'm really not normal.

To be honest nice is normal really isn't it? That's what they say so maybe I am getting there.

My Mum is RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY nice. We are both a bit mental.
Don't for minute go thinking I am nice though.... I can eviscerate things when I need to.

I posted this on Facebook yesterday:

I'm participating in the 'Pay it Forward' initiative. The first 5 people to comment on this status with 'I'm in' will receive a surprise from me at some point during 2014- anything from a book, a ticket, something homegrown or made, postcard, absolutely any surprise. There will be no warning when it will happen. When I find something that I believe would suit you or make you happy that's when it w...ill happen.
These 5 people must make the same offer on their FB status. Copy and paste this post but (do not share) so we can create a Web of closeness and kindness. Let's do more nice and loving things this year without any reasons other than to make each other smile and to show we are thinking of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, more friendly year!

I'm also on 3 other peoples lists so i'll loose a bit of money but sure duck it its nice to be nice.

KKkitty · 16-08-2014 12:08AM

Helped out a young man who had dislocated his knee and tore ligaments while playing soccer with his friends. Gave him a blanket and heat pack to keep him warm. Also helped him with breathing techniques to try alleviate the pain.

I did that once...or something similar.. I ended up having to post something to Australia. :rolleyes:

I wished people luck who were getting their leaving cert results.

IT WAS THE BEST CAKE EVER!

I went a bit mad and put peanut M&Ms and malteasers and all sorts of shizzle into it, then drizzled white chocolate over the top of it and threw a few mini marshmallows on there...not to blow my own horn (oooh matron) but "sex on a plate" and "totally worth the heart attack" were amongst the reviews.

Ah people are too easy. A bit of chocolatey cake and they're anyone's.

I am self confessed sugar whore and I don't care who knows it.

Also for cats.
