The UPS driver brought our garbage cans back to the house yesterday.

[Diamond_Dog]

Yesterday was garbage day and we got a package delivery from UPS before we could get out there to retrieve the cans. Our house sits about 75 ft. back from the road. We have one can for trash and one for recycling. The recycling one is pretty big.

The driver stopped at the road, put both cans into his truck, then proceeded down the driveway to our house, where he deposited the cans along with our package right by the garage.

I got outside just in time to thank him, and he waved me, off, saying, “Happy to do it. Have a good one!”

It was a day brightener! 🙂

[LoisB]

7. What a wonderful gesture. We need more of this.

[Diamond_Dog]

10. I think thoughtful people are out there,

Unfortunately it’s the obnoxious loudmouths who get all the headlines.

[LoisB]

17. I was just saying the same thing to my cousin the other day. A minority of loudmouths are

dictating to the majority and the media provide them with the bullhorns.

[calimary]

8. Nice! Thanks for letting us know.

Those little gestures mean a lot.

[Diamond_Dog]

11. YW, calimary!

[judesedit]

9. Super nice to do without being asked

[Diamond_Dog]

12. You bet!

It brightened my day, for sure.

13. I had our trash man jump out of his truck

Unload 10 bags of top soil out of my car. Even ask where I wanted them.

Had a UPS driver bring my big TV upstairs when he was only supposed to set it in the garage.

[Diamond_Dog]

18. How nice!

When you’re not big and strong, those kindnesses are so appreciated.

[True Blue American]

28. I find those same kind of people

Every day.. tthis is why I do not believe a lot of the garbage on cable.

BTW,Trump has met the enemy and it is us! I could have sworn it was him and his gang.

[Hekate]

14. Almost restores my faith in humanity. What a great guy!

[Diamond_Dog]

20. And so pleasant. A very welcome experience.

[LiberalArkie]

15. Most of them carry milk bones for the furry ones.

[Diamond_Dog]

21. My mail carrier does.

[Niagara]

16. How delightful. I hope this UPS driver has only good things come to him.

[Diamond_Dog]

22. Me, too, Niagara!

19. The concept of 'carry it forward' means

you now have to do a good deed for someone else!

Joe Cocker song. "Just Pass It On"

[Diamond_Dog]

23. OK! I'll have to remember that!

I always thank the person who bags up my groceries at the store.

My son’s first job was grocery bagger and he said there were plenty of rude people. Or else they would just ignore him like he wasn’t there. But some were really nice and said thank you.

[True Blue American]

29. I have found a simple Pass it on

Even in a minor thing like a quarter for the carts brings a great smile and thank you. Something so simple.

[appleannie1]

24. There are still good people in this world.

I got sidetracked the other day while checking out at the Tractor Supply store getting things to start my veggie garden. While I was man handling big bags of potting soil etc. into the trunk of my car, the guy that had been behind me in line came running up to my car, handed me my debit card and proceeded to lift all the heavy stuff out of my cart and into my trunk. I had forgotten to pull the card out of the machine after the clerk had asked me a question about something.

[Diamond_Dog]

25. How nice!

He could have totally made off with your card. That was a nice thing to do.

One time (this was many years ago) I was grocery shopping for my mom. I left my handbag in the grocery cart and put it in the cart corral and drove to my moms house before I realized what I did! I called the store right away and they told me an 8 year old boy had found it and he and his mom brought it into the store. I asked if they had left a name or anything but the store manager said no. Talk about grateful!!

[appleannie1]

26. I know exactly how you felt. I taught my kids there is no such thing as finders keepers. To do so

is the same as stealing and you should always try very hard to find the owner. You will get back double in the end.

[Diamond_Dog]

27. That's awesome. You are so right.

And it was such a huge relief. I still can’t believe how absent minded I was.

[True Blue American]

31. But someone was

Taking care of you.

[appleannie1]

33. I know. That is what I mean. If you do good for others, it comes back to you in double.

Sometimes it just means being able to sleep at night or look myself squarely in the eye in the mirror just know I have helped someone. They don't even have to thank me and I can think of a couple times when someone did not. It does not cost you anything to hold a door for someone, or give them a compliment or pick up and return something they might have dropped. But doing it, comes back to you someday, somehow.

42. Even a smile in a busy store can turn a frown into a smile.

I do not pretend to be a Pollyanna and can cut someone off short if I feel they are taking advantage of me. But those are few. So I concentrate on the good ones.

[True Blue American]

30. Smile

I have had men put my case of water bottles in my trunk at Walmart!

[sheshe2]

32. This whole post makes me smile.

[Diamond_Dog]

34. I'm happy to make you smile today, sheshe

[sheshe2]

37. Aw.

That is so sweet, Diamond_Dog.

[Luciferous]

35. How nice!

[Diamond_Dog]

36. It surely was a pleasant surprise!

[Fla Dem]

38. Someone does that for me every once in a while. I haven't been able to catch them yet.

I generally go out and get them soon after the guys empty them, occasionally It'll be a bit longer. In those cases, several times someone's brought them up to my garage door.

[Diamond_Dog]

40. People really can surprise you, no?

[Fla Dem]

41. Absolutely! I just want to thank them.

[niyad]

39. awwwwww Many blessings to him.

[True Blue American]

43. If the weather is bad my neighbor

Brings my trash cans against the garage door.. I pay to get my snow done, another neighbor beats him here

[niyad]

44. Good neighbors are a treasure. Years ago, I had two neighbors. The ones on one

side were wonderful. We cooked for each other, shoveled the walks for each other, and so much more. The ones on the other side were the neighbors from hell. They were so vile that the entire neighborhood had restraining orders against them. They finally moved, and we got wonderful people.
