Gugny Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Saw a story of a local random act of kindness in the paper this morning. A couple received an envelope ... addressed to them, with their names horribly misspelled, with a $100 gift certificate to their favorite restauarant. I find that to be scary ... but maybe I've seen too many "Criminal Minds" episodes. Anyone else find that creepy? Any personal stories of being on the receiving end of a random act of kindness? (telling about random acts of kindness that you've done takes away from the meaning, IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah, that's creepy. If it's random, how did the person know that's their favorite restaurant...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it was just friends trying to do something nice, but anonymously, they wouldn't have incorrectly spelled their name. This has whacko written all over it. I wonder if it came from Ohio.

BringBackFergy Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Does buying a drink for a gorgeous woman count as a random act of kindness? or does the fact that I was staring at her chest before placing the order discount the kindness attributable to that act?

BuffaloBud Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've pre-paid for a coworkers lunch without telling them. Donated corporate holiday gift card(s) to local food bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Like the toll collector dude won't just keep the money. Actually they may not. Couple weeks ago I was grabbing breakfast going through drive through at McDonald's. got to window to pay and they said person in front of us paid. Have a great day. Didn't recognize the car or person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't recognize the car or person. So did you be nice and pay for the vehicle behind you, or think "ha ha suckers" and take off with your free food? Back to the original post, maybe it's a thief waiting for them to go to dinner, then is going to break in and rob the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going more along the lines of stalking. But I like your theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the time you pressed your genitals to the window outside of Curves because you wanted to "do something nice for the fatties." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't recognize the car or person. Was in Rochester X-mas eve with the kids, stopped to grab some Mcdonalds, and the car in front of us had paid for ours. No way I knew them.
