Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThis past weekend I was treated with a random act of kindness.
I was not having a great weekend and feeling rather down.
This person treated me to a meal at a nice steak house. Told me to get anything I wanted. I had a nice t-bone steak.
These person wanted nothing in return but to cheer me up.
I told her I would return the favor one day and she said not necessary.
I will do the same for some else soon to pay it forward.
This simple act of kindness really did cheer me up.
I was so taken by this kind act by someone I really didn't know that well.

(11,833 posts)I love it when someone does that for me! I enjoy it as much and maybe even more when I can do it for someone else. This sounds like a really good person. And you seem really cool to appreciate it enough to share here. It sounds like you both should become even better friends. Cheers.

(18,705 posts)I had lost the money I was given to buy lunch.
A very kind couple standing next to me paid for my lunch.
Many years later I was at a Burger King and a little kid didn't have enough money to buy his and his sister's meal.
I had never forgot about this couple helping me.
I paid for the bill for the kid and told him to keep his money. He tried to give me the money he had and I said no.
I told him I when I was a kid someone helped me out. Just go have some fun with the money.
I had paid back the couple after many years in the same Burger King Store near my old house.

That dollar went a long way.
