As I was driving home, I slowed down to pay the toll. I was waiting in line with few other cars in front and back of me. Got the money ready and slowly stop at the toll station. The toll station's worker told me that the car before me has already paid for my toll. Confused about that situation. I didn't know any one who drove that car (a black BMW) so why would he pay for my toll fee. I tried to catch up to see who it was but couldn't (maybe the driver was driving to fast).

I have thought of many reasons but still unsure. Why would a total stranger pay for me? Just curious and would like to hear your opinions about this incident. Thx Thx

Maybe he had extra change, and he was just like "just put it towards the guy behind me"
I did that before when I was picking up my girlfriend..... But that's because I wanted to look good/nice

[tofu plushie]

That was really nice of whoever paid for your toll fee. Maybe they were just feeling generous at the moment.

[eximius]

Maybe the person doesn't like dealing with loose change.

I know I don't.

[brokenTURTLE]

haha. that's happened to me before. i guess the guy was just feeling generous. don't think too much about it. it was free!

People do that a lot during the holidays.

Random acts of kindness.

One person would pay for the person behind him or her and the person paid for would pay for the next one.
It happened 20+ time here in SF on the Bay Bridge. It was on the news. lol It turned out some dude in a BMW stopped the chain.

[Dragonlove]

it's one of those nice people that you get to meet in life what he/she did is called a random act of kindness

[sweetcream]

Stalker. Haha j/k.
That's really nice though.
I guess like others said, he/she must've just had extra change.
Or that person's really that nice, which is soo sweet.

LOL! i'd expect a shabby car to stop the chain.

[GOOMBA]

When I don't want the change, I just say leave it for the next guy.

[jbigdog123]

Yup, it could be just a random good deed or don't want to deal with change but nevertheless, things like this give a very small hope for human race.

[[K]Jae]

That guy must have been in a happy mood to do that!

[terrorist]

well it could be pay it forward

it could it be that he thought u were pretty hot and paid for your toll.

[hailing from ny]

How much was the toll? If it's a bridge in NY, which easily costs over $5, I dont think I'd be paying for others' tolls...

[terrorist]

ny toll 5 dollars, not sure where ur talking about
but the verrazano bridge is 9-10 bucks? !!!

[CRY_1314]

It's $4...moderate amount

[x_3nergy]

would be cool if you caught up to the black bmw to see who it was haha

[v8subie]

bmw owner was hitting on you.

[supa'Wanki]

There was a psychology experiment about social cognitive theory that if one person pays for the person behind, they will also pay for the person in the back, the chain will go on, it surprisingly went on for 5 hours. heh idk if its real, but its what i've heard.

[springfiry]

Wow , what the guy did was nice..maybe he just did not want change or was in the hurry to go..so he just said to pay for you too, so he need not wait for the change?
