What's the nicest thing you've done for someone?

[StevePerryHair]

I've been with some really unpretty girls. Pretty philanthropic. They really just needs a stiff one in 'em to get kickstarted. There's really no ugly girls - they just hide their beauty with bad habits, like being fat.

You've never seen an "unpretty" skinny girl? Yeah, ok..

I have, but girls in shape look generally better than overweight ones. A face loses its character, like cheekbone shape and jawline, when carrying extra lard. It's just one bad habit though. There's a bunch of other ones; like bragging about money (the nouveau riche) or having a poor sense of style.

You bought me a beer in Vegas. That was nice.

I really try to be nice....I think that my profession makes you see life a little differently than others...it's the nature of my business.

It really can go in a minute....and well I try to remember that.

One nice thing I did was to make sure I fed you and got you a roll in bed when we drank for 7 hrs straight in Chicago couple years ago.

I think I've told just about everyone on here that story. Man, what a GREAT night that was. We ate, drank, ate again, drank more and laughed all night. That was the first time I ever had Heineken Light. Good stuff.

I just walked my sis's dog in the blistering cold. This better count jim

[Arianddu]

I looked after my grandmother's dog when Grandma got too old and infirm to take care of her any more.

Trixie was a sweet dog though; 22 years old, grizzled and nearly stone deaf, and going blind. Still thought she was a puppy though - she'd spend 15 minutes running around like a mad young thing, just like she'd always done, then go take a three hour nap to work up the energy for the next bout. Grandma hadn't let her inside, but where I lived was a lot colder, so I let her finally be an indoors dog. I'd settle in for an evening on the couch, reading or whatever, and she'd stumble her way in, work out where I was, slowly climb up on the couch next to me and just heave this huge sigh of contentment. I had her for two years before she finally died of old age.

Generally, I just try to be compassionate to people. That doesn't always mean being nice to them, just trying to see and respect their headspace at the time.

That was very cool of you, but are you sure about the dogs age? If she was 24 when she died, she's only 4 years younger than the oldest verified dog on record! If so, DAMN!

[Marabelle]

I've done several things for people which I consider nice but really the nicest things I've done would be for people other then family who have been patients. It's those things you do that you think you shouldn't but if you don't then for that particular moment or ever again will they have that feeling of recognition other than for something terrible they've done. I've given birthday celebrations to patients who would never have had a party. It might do more for me then it does for them; sometimes you have to look beyond what they've done and see the person inside to know it was the right thing to do. We laughed, we smiled and we sung all kind of wild songs. And for a few minutes, everything is forgotten and everything is forgiven. It's just fun.

the main story for me happened a few years ago at a ski resort. Was supposed to go for an evening of night skiing with some friends, and everyone backed out. Conditions were going to be great, so just went by myself. Did quite a few runs, then started skiing about 50 feet off from the chairlift to the start of the slope and resting for a few minutes, as my legs were out of shape.

While resting on one trip, I noticed this girl who had fallen about 3 times before even getting to where I was (this would be about a beginner slope at this point). It was obvious she was out of her league up here, as this was a pretty decent intermediate slope. Went over to help, as she had fallen again, and found out she had gotten separated from the church group she was with, this was the first time she had ever been skiing, and someone had directed her to the wrong chairlift. She was at the point of taking the skiis off and just walking down the mountain, when I offered to help. This was all well and good, until I realized she didn't even know how to perform a basic turn. This was going to be a bit more difficult than I had planned.

After showing her how to do a basic wedge turn, with generally poor results, I eventually settled in on the plan of skiing directly across to the far side of the slope in as much of a level line as possible and getting her to follow. Then, I had to jump in the air and do a 180-degree turn, which would put me about 5-6 feet down the slope--even the tightest turn I could do put me too far down to help easily when the inevitable fall would occur when she tried to turn. About halfway down the slope, she finally started to get the hang of things, and was skiing very well by the time we reached the bottom of the slope.....45 minutes later. Got to the bottom of the slope, and got her back to her group, and she was very appreciative of the help.

The postscript to the story happened about an hour later, when I was doing some technique runs on the beginner slope, when I saw her and her group....and she was the one giving the lessons on how to turn.

While I certainly don't recommend the trial-by-fire method of learning how to ski, it has to be one of the most memorable of the skiing adventures. Sometimes, it's just about doing the right thing.

I think the nicest thing I've done for someone is help them move, and I can't count how many times I've done that.

But more recently, while doing a security check on an airplane, I found someone's Blackberry phone. After the security check, I asked the gate agent if she could find who it belonged to, and she did. She said he's going to XNA (Northwest Arkansas/Bentonville), and it was going out on gate B9. Knowing I had the time, because we were supposed to take our lunch after that flight, I borrowed a tug and drove over there. I walked up the jetbridge stairs and asked the flight attendant to page the passenger on the plane. She said no one was responding and she thought the guy looking for that phone was still at the gate desk. So I went up the jetbridge and as I walked into the gate area, there he was. When he saw what I had in my hand, I thought he was going to cry. He said his whole life was on that phone. He started to reach into his pocket to give me some money, and I told him that wouldn't be necessary, but thanks. And he just kept thanking me. That made my day.

Very sure of the age; I got her when she was 20, she died when she was 22.

Nicest? I don't know if I can narrow it down to one. I do things like that a lot, especially for friends and family... I took off work to be with one of my best friends when she had surgery 2 months ago... that kind of stuff. Someone speaks up, I'm there, end up story. I don't keep a list or anything. I just have a hard time when people are in need and I always want to help if I can.

One time, I did something really nice to help a friend... I guess I'd say it was probably the nicest thing I've done in recent past that comes to mind, if I had to come up with one.... I'm not talking about a ride to the airport or loaning someone $20 bucks or something... I mean a huge favor and one that I could not afford. But it's a friend, right? And that's what you do. They were kind enough to show appreciation by using me for that favor once I offered to help, never speaking to me after, and telling lies. Never even said thank you, that I recall. Those times stand out for obvious reasons... lol... If nothing else at least I can say I did a really good thing, though.

On pay it forward day a few weeks ago, I paid for the lady's drink who was bhind me in the Starbucks drive through... stuff like that I do... but I don't just do that when it's "pay it forward day"... I've done that lots other times. Sometimes you just get in a mood or someone does something nice for you and you want to pass it on... I really believe it works to, that people pass that kind of kindness on.

Remember when you had your chef (yes, BJG has a chef ... ) make that special treat for a friend/s?!?
That really touched me ...even though I wasn't that person, but wow, so kind/thoughtful!!

That was the fried pickles for Lynn! It's not part of our normal menu, so I (sheepishly ) asked the bar manager if she could do me a favor and have it that day. I hate asking for special stuff, but our bar manager is amazing, and it was no problem. I can't believe you remember that...

Or people with poor sense of compassion or shallow fat heads.

Hard to pick one thing like others have mentioned, I just do nice on a daily basis, and wear my heart on my sleeve, always have. That's gotten me stung before of course, and one time pretty bad, but I refuse to let that break me from having a good heart towards people. But a more recent thing would be getting to know someone, rather than defining them by talk about them. And gaining a very good friend because of it. I'm a firm believer in not defining people by their mistakes. We ALL make mistakes and I simply choose to get to know someone for who they really are, rather than listen to rumors and gossip from people who have their own major flaws and insecurities and make themselves feel better by constantly condemning others. Amazing the things you can learn about someone when you simply ask questions about rumors and gossip, rather than listening to it. I simply choose to know people for their hearts and souls, rather than for something they may have done. Like I said, we've ALL made mistakes, and there are enough damn judgemental people in this world, I refuse to be one of them.

At work the list is endless of things I do nice for patients, and co-workers too, I always go the extra mile.

So technically you're not AT work if you always end up a mile away from your place of work.
