Most unexpected act of kindness you've experienced?

[sasguru]

Years ago (1995 I think) I went to work on the tube, suffering from a most grevious hangover.
Anyway got to work and about 9.30 got a call from reception saying a package had arrived for me.
Package, I thought? Not expecting one - this was well before Amazon days.
Anyway got it - it had been priority couriered for a lot of wonga.
Inside was my wallet intact, including the £50 that I'd taken out that morning. I'd not even noticed it was missing.
An anonymous note inside said it had been found on the tube and the finder had worked out where I worked from the business cards he'd found in the wallet.

Never knew who it was.

Never knew who it was.

...and you're looking around here?

...and you're looking around here?

No.

[Mich the Tester]

No.

It wasn't me. I'd have put my own business card in the envelope along with the wallet. Just on the off chance the owner's a millionaire.

Funny. Back in 1995 I found a wallet on the train with £50 in it and a load of credit cards/id. It didn't take me long to work out where the chap lived, worked, date of birth etc. I copied all of his ID then couriered his wallet/cash/cards to his place of work at great expense. I then copied and stole his identity and have been living off credit cards/loans I have taken out over the years. He's obvious done quite well as I never have a problem taking them out. But one day...

I once returned a call to a contractor

I worked in a newsagents when I was younger and always did the early shift on a saturday.

At 8am every saturday morning the same old lady came in to get her paper which was ordered in especially for her. She was a nice old dear and she always chatted away to me.

Anyway, one day she said "see you next week" and I replied saying I'm actually off next week as it's my 18th birthday so I'll see you the week after.

So off she went, only to return 20mins later, with a birthday card she'd bought in another shop (our shop sold plenty of cards).

Off she went agaihn, leaving the shop before I could open te card, which contained a crisp new £20 note.
