What’s the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?

Given me a coin from 200 BC

I went to a large shops to do food shopping. I was in a hurry. When I got to the check out, a young boy was standing close by, and just kept staring me. Did not take his eyes of me. I looked at him because I thought he was acting strange. He then asked me if my full name was ....? I said Yes. He then reached into his pocked and gave me my purse! It had fallen out of my bag in the car park. I had no idea. He found it, and walked around the whole store looking at my driver's licence to find me. I could n't believe it. It was such a kind and nice act. I tried thanking him by giving a cash reward. But he refused, and told me to have a great day!

Gave his time and effort to me on a busy day because he has a son my age. Only contact card I’ve kept after 16 years.

paid for my meal deal in tescos when i had £1 in my bank

Hugged me when I needed it most.

A really small thing, but I hope I remember it forever... My son was probably 2 or 3 and we went to the mall for some reason. My son liked looking at displays and stuff. Well there was a model train set in a case that you could put a $1 in and watch them go around for a while. I was pretty broke If I recall and never had cash on me regardless. He was content just looking at the display. A group of loud mall teens come through and go past. One of them comes back and puts a dollar in the machine and says “I always liked watching trains too” then hurries off back to his friends. My son lit up. I never would have expected that action from a stranger, let alone a teen with his friends in a mall.

I was at a park with my friends after a quiz, just hanging out, when I suddenly saw someone who looked exactly like my dad that passed away yesrs ago. The moment i saw him, i cried. I just started crying. That guy approaches my friends and asked me if i'm okay. Then my friends told the guy it was because he reminded me of my dad. Instead of getting uncomfortable or walking away,  he stayed and talked to me “I'm sure your dad is really proud of you and this must be his plan, through me you'll feel how proud he is of u” After that, i burst into tears and he gave me pancakes. That part hit me hardest, when i was a kid my dad used to give me three pancakes whenever i cried. He said it meant 'I love you'. It felt like something my dad would have done:((( I'll never forget him.
