This isn't much but, i was at this subway station where there was no one working at the booth and my pass didn't work so then this nice lady let me use her pass to let me through. if she wasn't there, i got no idea how i would get to work lol.
ohh i just thought of something else, i was taking lifeguarding courses and i knew i wasn't going to pass(i didn't btw lol), so a friend of mine(who's a lifeguard), offered his saturday to help me with the skills.

[Atmosphere.]

OMG THIS WAS NOT TOO LONG AGO! It was like past few days ago.

My boyfriend and I was arguing about my dad's bike inside the train and he usually carries my bag for me. And I told him that I'm going to check if the bike was there in the next stop (It's a long story about the bike) and so he was like yelling at me "GO AHEAD THEN!" So he put my bag behind me without noticing me that it was behind me. It was 3900 South where my dad said he will pick us up at and where my boyfriend will be going out. But I got out too because I forgot to go to the next station or I was just very mad. After we cooled down in few minutes. I realized my boyfriend wasn't holding my bag o__o And I was like "WHERE'S MY BAG?!" And he was like "OH SH*T" And we tried to go back in, but the DOOR WON'T OPEN FOR US!!! >__<;; And there was a stranger who saw us trying to get back in and he saw that my bag was there, and I swear I thought he was going to steal it T__T:; Okay to be honest, he looked like he was working in the streets or a homeless guy >__<;; I don't know!! But he tried to press the button to open the door for us too. But it didn't work and the train went without us T__T;; And then after few minutes another train came and my boyfriend took that and tried to follow the train that had my bag. As I was waiting for my dad, as always b**ching at me saying "LETS GO GET THE BAG RIGHT NOW!" So I called UTA (Utah Transportation Authority) And they told me the train with my bag ending stop will be at the downtown at 4:48PM! So my dad was basically speeding >__<;; Thank goodness we didn't get caught by the cops >__< He didn't want to lose my bag, it had my passport, social security card, my $100 with wallet credit card debit card my ID card!!!, my digital camera worth $400!! >__<;; My MAKE UP bag >__<;; It was crazy yeah I know. And we almost got into car accident twice >__< He ran over 2 red lights =X Just to get my bag >__<;;

Then I called my boyfriend where he was at and he said when he got off he thought that guy will give Sammy the bag, but he didn't so I was MORE WORRIED!!!!!!!!!! >__<;; My dad's friend was like "Who knows if he just took it and ran away with your bag?" And when she said that I was so mad -__-; Cause it wasn't helping me at all!!!! And then I prayed and prayed to God to give me a miracle, I was just kept praying.

And then when we got to the downtown, we were LUCKY that we got there 4:46PM! >_< From 3900 South to Downtown takes about 30-40 minutes, and you should have been there, THERE WAS TRAFFIC!!!! >__< Under constructions streets!! >__< I really thought we wouldn't make it! And then I got off the car, waited for the train to come and I realize INSIDE THAT STATION, IT'S CROWDED!!!!!!!!!!!! And I was like "OH SH*T how am I going to get in there!!! And so I just said "excuse me" while passing by and I think I bumped into a handicap guy I felt so bad >__<;; I tried to ask the train driver if she can stop the train so I can go find my bag T__T;; I was knocking on her door a lot but she didn't see me, but after a minute she saw me and I was like "Can you guys stop the train real quick cause I left my bag at this station. And the lady looked down on her right side and she goes like "Oh we have plenty of lost and found here, I see a bag. Is this yours?" *she lifts up a white bag which is MINE!!!* You have no idea how happy I was, that stranger give it to the train driver lady T___T he was sooooooooooooooo SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I CHECKED INSIDE MY BAG, HE DIDN'T STEAL NOTHING!!!!!!!! I was like "Thank you God, thank you stranger! You made my day!" ^__^ I hope he didn't memorize my social security card though XD

Then I called my boyfriend and we waited for him til he drops to the downtown station then we went straight to my dad's office which he was late for a meeting >__<;;

Oh and I thank this guy who dressed up as a businessman suit, he knew the train was going to leave in few second, but he pressed the button for me kindly and open the door for me then I got out in time thanks to him too! ^__^

two strangers helped me out of my car when it flipped on the highway. one called for help and the other stayed with me until he knew someone was coming for me. i'm really grateful for all of their help. it's nice to know that there are still genuinely caring people out there.

[-x.smile.31]

i've met a lot of nice strangers xD
don't remember them exactly, but i remember one time i dropped
my $500 sunglasses and kept walking, then someone picked them up
and gave it back to me =]

[Shortyyy126]

some old lady bought me (well my friends and i) a bagel at Pick-a-Bagels. =)
^ that was during 8th grade. T_T

[dorkafied!]

man i love reading acts of kindness =]

[BakaPrincess]

I remember when I was younger, I went to a nearby park with my friends, and while swinging on the monkey bars, my fingers slipped and I fell face down on the ground. It really took the wind out of me as I couldn't breathe at all. Fortunately, this kind man who was watching his young son playing on the slides, saw me and ran over and shook the heck out of me - whatever it took for me to be able to breathe again. I never got to thank him though because after that, I was trembling so bad that I just stumbled off to find my friends.

I am still thankful for that kind man until this day. =)

[simpletea]

today..
i was volunteering and i was really upset to see people just slacking off. i decided to work extra hard to lift water around (im a weak little girl too). T_T so this woman volunteering asked me for my name and said thank you for doing all that work because all the other people were not. ehh that's isnt the nicest but i thought it was pretty nice.

[vi0letstarx]

i was having flag day during one of my secondary school days..
so we have to take those tins out and ask for donation..
i don't know why, but i approached a man with tattoos all over an orange ssuper short hair and piercings all over..
and my friends was looking from some a distance away..
@ first he stared @ me and said he has no money..
i was a bit scared n shocked and i told myself "S**T !! Y R U SO STUPID TO APPROACH HIM?!"
so i said "it's ok. thank u ^^ " and walked away..
but after a while he approached me and put..
i forgot the amount, but he placed money inside the tin.
and he was asking "are you the girl that approached me just now..?"
haha.. n i was so happy n replied "yes, thank u so much "
i shouted "THANK YOU~~~~~!" again when he was some distance away.. ^O^
and that really made my day.. *^^*

from there, i learnt that people cannot be judged by appearnce..
cux when i approached those office ladies and men, they walk right pass me as if i dun exist..
and they didn even say "no, thank u"..

Wow, this thread made me smile.
When I was about 7? I was visiting my mom's friend. My and my brother decided to go to the park. I was on the see-saw with my brother and somehow I fell off. I think I wasn't holding on and my brother decided to keep going so I fell. This girl, maybe 18ish?, she came up to me and asked if I was alright and carried me back to my mom's friends place. I was grateful even though I cried all the way there XD.

[oochoklitoo]

mm.. this one time i was eating at in n out with my friend and her lito bro. after we got our food, one of the workers came up to us with three cups for us to get drinks, and we were like.. o.O we didnt order any drinks. but it turns out that someone had bought it for us cuz they thought we couldnt afford drinks (we just normally dont order drinks) but it was really nice of that person ^^

and another time, it wasnt as super as the first, but it was nice of them. 2 of my friends and i were eating at this taqueria place (i think) and when we left, my friend left her cell. so we went back to grab it, and someone turned it into the people that worked there.

[xstrawberry_bearx]

Recently? My sister and her boyfriend. I swear they never let me out of their sight for a day.
They keep taking me out to eat and to the movies; that im pretty sick of it.
I want to spend time with my friends too and it seems like im a third wheel to them or something.
They insisted me coming along and its hard for me to say no >__<.
And my sister's boyfriend keeps giving me 'spending money' just in case. @_@ ☆

[ The reason that i siad my sister's boyfriend is because technically i dont know him and he's new too me,
therefore im still on stranger status with him. O__o. Does that make sense? LOL]

[Loserxd]

I was walking to school when i sneezed and as this stranger walked by, he said " bless you"

[eigengrau.]

One time I was standing somewhere, waiting for my mom to pick me up.
And an old Asian man in a car nearby saw me standing there alone and told me,
"Be careful!" so I nodded my head telling him I'll be ok, then he drove off.
I think he was worried something might happen to me, because I appear to be a
defenseless little girl.

Omgsh all of the things that strangers have done for you guys are sooo sweet and heart warming (:

The nicest thing that a stranger has done for me... is hold the door/elevator open for me... other than that... o_o...

Just reading this thread makes me feel happy (: !

I had a thankful event with some train workers.

One time I was in a train for a short while (2 stops, 8 minutes) to go to the Central Station.
I had finished a couple of hours of class and hadn't eaten the whole day, except for like 2 sandwiches in the morning.
I was really hungry, felt weak and had a stomache (I was also starting my period), but I just took a paracetemole and thought I could just wait it out till the station, where I could buy food. After like 4 minutes I really started to feel really unwell (worst feeling I ever had! I was sweating, my mind was numbing and I could feel my heart just pumping harder) and was looking around to see what I could do. Then I saw a train worker. And I walked to him, but in the middle i 'half-blacked out'. Meaning I had the sense to grip a handle at the wall with my hands (so I wouldn't fall to the ground), but for like a sec my sight just blacked out and my mind was just numb. When the sec was over I was half-hanging at the handle and the trainworker was near me, asking me what was wrong. I explained that I ate too little and that this was the first time this happened and I just felt miserable. The train worker called some colleages with his phone and when we were at the central station those (female) colleages helped me further. They gave me warm water with sugar, bought me 2 sandwiches and just stayed with me for 10-15 minutes, after which I fel a bit better. Since I still had to with the train for another hour, they even told me I could sit into first class, even though I had a traincard for second class, to get some rest.

I'm really gratefull for them, since I felt really weak that time. And it's the only time I ever thought i would really faint. Now I always make sure I've eaten something or have something eatable in my bag, when I know I've got some hours coming where I can't eat.

Back in Grade 8, we had to do confirmation.. It was one step in confirmation when we had to go to the altar to get our crosses and then before we did that, the priest was talking to us to our parents and our parents had to reply some stuff back (scripted). But then my parents weren't there so this man behind me pretended he was my father and said it for me.
i was embarresed but kinda happy.

[MOOVERDOSE]

Last week someone walking on the street offered to hold my umbrella while I tried to answer a call on my cellphone.

Pretty random, but I apreciated it.

[saucydumplings]

When my brother and I were younger, we'd go buy some take out after our Saturday chinese classes. Once, the employee saw me buying food for my little brother so he gave us 2 pieces of fried chicken without charge, once for each of us.

And it's always really nice when strangers open or hold the door for me.
