I didn't want to threadjack KFF's thread but wanted to share this and, maybe, start a thread about these.
Yesterday, my daughter's roommate forgot her Orca card - a public transportation card for the ferry - at home. She would've had to ride the bus back out here, wait for the next one (a few hours) and then be late for work. As she stood there near tears, an older gentleman handed her a $20 and told her "godspeed." Random acts of kindness FTW!
The last time I was at my pain clinic, I went into the small deli/bistro in the building to get a bottle of tea. There was a woman ahead of me doing the same. She wanted to charge it but the fee would've been too much for just that so the clerk was going to let her have it. So I paid for it. Wasn't a lot but it made things easier for both women and didn't affect me one bit.
What random act of kindness have you witnessed (or committed) lately?
