Gugny Posted March 7, 2013 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)
Fezmid Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah, that's creepy. If it's random, how did the person know that's their favorite restaurant...?

Gugny Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah, that's creepy. If it's random, how did the person know that's their favorite restaurant...? Exactly!! 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 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?
DC Tom Posted March 7, 2013 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? Hell, I consider staring at women's breasts to be a random act of kindness in and of itself.
BringBackFergy Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Hell, I consider staring at women's breasts to be a random act of kindness in and of itself. Sicko!!
Pete Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Pay the toll for the car behind you. Karma- pay it forward
4merper4mer Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Pay the toll for the car behind you. Karma- pay it forward Like the toll collector dude won't just keep the money.
BuffaloBud Posted March 7, 2013 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.
Dibs Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Does buying a drink for a gorgeous woman count as a random act of kindness?.... No.....her going home with you however does count as a random act of kindness.
VABills Posted March 7, 2013 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.
Just Jack Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Actually they may not.

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.

I was going more along the lines of stalking. But I like your theory.
BringBackFergy Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 No.....her going home with you however does count as a random act of kindness. LOL...I don't mind charity in those cases.
DC Tom Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Run bicyclists off the road, so the cars behind you don't have to deal with them.
Jauronimo Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Hell, I consider staring at women's breasts to be a random act of kindness in and of itself. You are wont to confuse kindness with lewdness. Like the time you pressed your genitals to the window outside of Curves because you wanted to "do something nice for the fatties."

Tom is always thinking of others like that...that's what makes him so "special"
Gary M Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Actually they may not.

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.
