Minnie the Moocher Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have decided to commit a Random Act of Kindness today, should the opportunity present itself. Of course I'm not sure what it will be, because of the nature of its 'randomness'. (Is that a real word?) Anyway, it started me thinking. What RAKs have you all committed/heard about? Inspire me!

Scramble Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 In the Asda car park and someone dropped their six-pack of coca cola. They didn't split but went rolling everywhere. I picked them up I'm sure you're a very nice person, but Good Luck with your RAK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I try to find someone to give my car park pay and display tickets to if they have got half an hour plus on them. It really irritates me to waste them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I've quite often chased people out of shops with things that they've left behind at the till I once hunted a lady down in the supermarket carpark to give her a chicken she'd left - poor woman looked scared to death until she realised what I was doing! I've also stopped a few women leaving the ladies loos with toilet paper stuck to their shoe or their skirt tucked into their knickers In the supermarket the other day I found a baby sock and looked around until I spied a baby missing one...unfortunately he was also missing a shoe as well but no idea where that had got to!!!

Lisa Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I caught the bus to the local shops last weekend and an elderly lady with a walking frame on three wheel wanted to get off the bus. She tried a couple of times but unfortunately she couldn't get up from her seat, so I helped her to her feet and out of the bus. Being able to offer someone a RAK is something that makes you smile inside! I hope the opportunity presents itself for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Moocher Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 I did it! A man in a Pay and Display didn't have quite enough change for the machine, so I gave him a coin to make up the difference and save him asking for change. He looked a bit suspicious at first, but he was smiling a lot when I left. All that for 10p! I don't make new year resolutions, so I've made up my mind to commit a RAK once a week, in the hope that they'll pass it on. Call it my September Resolution.

freddie Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 this site is a random act of kindness, I'd never have got the info I've gleaned from here anywhere else, so quickly, so kindly, and with such humour. THANKS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Looks like we're all building good karma I do the car park thing too, and look after an elderly neighbour on an almost daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 We visited Windsor Castle on Saturday and followed a group of Japanese tourists in. OH saw an entrance ticket fall to the floor, picked it up and handed it back to them. Son has been smiling at all the new Year 7 pupils in his form group (he's Year 10 but they have mixed year form groups) to help them feel less scared of the big kids.

tweecy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I've committed two that stick in my mind. One was a purse that I found - completely empty apart from a piece of paper with a note with window measurements on it for net curtains, and a pass for a social club. I took the purse to the social club and enclosed a £5.00 note. The other was on the way to work in the centre of town, I saw a man on a bench who looked very down on his luck, he was not begging though. I also gave him £5.00. The look on his face was worth a million pounds. When I've lost my temper, I remember my random acts of kindness and think I'm not a bad person, just a ratty one sometimes.
