I know that threads were written about the things that you were ashamed of...but what of the things that you did that made someone's day?   Things that made a difference in someone's life? I remember one time when me and my Dad were sitting at a picnic table and i just said, " I love you"...I took a big chance...my dad is like Red on "That Seventies Show"...he turned around and looked me in the eye and said, "Yea...I know....I love you too"....I was 45 when that happened.....he still talks about that and our relationship has just gotten better and better since then!!!

Provide free counseling and therapy (don't you hate it when people know what you do?)  It
was about 5:00 a.m. one saturday morning and my friend's mom called
saying, "Can you come over and speak to________ she's not doing to
good". (how could I say no to a mom). Basic short story- she broke up
with her boyfriend since highschool, was depressed and possibly
suicidal. Took me about 2-3 hours to turn that negative to a positive
(or at leat provide some hope). Eventually she got help and now she's
a-ok. <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/thumbup.gif" />

WOW! what a great topic :) There is not ONE  SPECIFIC nice thing i can think of BUT  everyday I hold doors for strangers , say thank you to sales people, things that are over looked by the general population I think one of the rudest things people can do is NOT say THANK YOU..i seem to get really angry when I see someone NOT saying thank you to someone else it seems common curtosy escapes people at times and it would not hurt someone to express it at times

I rolled a crashed car off of a couple girls and pulled their friends out the back window, then pulled the door off the car and climbed in (it was upside down an pretty crushed) and shut off the motor and retrieved a cell phone. Also, the car was leaking gas fast. One girl was ejected and died instantly, (she hit a tree) but i saved the other four people.

i worked in a hardware store when i was 17 and i had to deliver some window shades to this elderly woman. when i got there she aid she had nobody to put the shades up for her. my boss was expecting me back right away but i spent the next hour or so putting up her shades.it turns out the boss's wife got really pissed. there were a bunch of customers and as i walked in the store she walked up to me, pointed her fingers like a gun and said "bang bang you're dead" (makes me laugh now that i think about it) and she was still upset even after i told her what i done...

I've always found that the nicest thing I can ever do for anyone is go away.

I'm not sure if this is the nicest thing I've done, but it's the first thing I can think of. Back when The Hideout was on WJFK they gave an ipod to their favorite listener. He never had any money, as he was 19, yet never had a job. Well... the ipod didn't do him any good, because his computer had Windows 98.I rebuilt one I had here and put Windows ME on it (I had read that certain ipods worked w/ ME if you had firewire). I bought firewire for it, put in a nice new CD burner, and some other stuff, and shipped it to him via FedEx. As it turned out, he still couldn't use the ipod on it, but the comp was still much better than his old one.Turns out, he didn't use it very long, though. His parents bought him a new comp that same Christmas. Like I said... in the long run, it didn't solve his problem, but I spent about 100 bucks on it, and I'd never even met the guy.

Small and short intreactions is what life consists of. Just be nice to people. Unless theyre a-holes.

i divorced them.  seriously, when my cousin Phil was alive (he died of a brain tumor, he was more like my brother) i put the idea in his head to try and drive.  he jumped into the drivers seat of my car and i helped him go around the block a few times.  when he went home he told his mom and dad that he was going to take driving lessons and get his lic.  he went on to do that just and made his short life even better for him.  the feelings of freedom that i gave to him is something that i am still proud some 10 years later.

I just tell everyone I see "...you look like a million bucks..." or I just give them two bucks, that's why they call me "Romey two-bucks"

When I was dating my future wife, her best friend showed up at my place drunk off her ass and pretty much threw herself at me.  I was only dating my wife for a couple of months at the time and I have to admit that I was more than a little tempted to take her friend up on it.  What greater fantasy than making it with your girlfriend's hot best friend, right?But, I'm proud to say that I did the right thing and told that it was wrong and that she probably didn't know what she was doing and that I was going to take her home.  On the way to her house she broke down in the car and starts telling me about all these personal family problems that she had and how, in addition to the alcohol, she took a bottle of pills.  So, as soon as I heard that I turned around and took her to the Emergency Room.In retrospect, by doing the right thing I saved myself a world of headaches too, but I didn't know that at the time I spurned her advances.  Anyways, it automatically made me a hero in the eyes of my girlfriend/wife.  I don't know if she really never figured it out, or if she purposely played dumb, but she never questioned why her friend came to my place of all people.  Also, it's now been almost 12 years and me and her friend have never once talked about what happened either.

I saved a girl's life once.  I must have been about 19 years old and I was living with this brawd I met in rehab.  Anyway, I came home on a Saturday night around 3 AM and I was all cranked up, hadn't slept in, I don't know, 65 or 70 hours.  She was sleeping in the bed and looked so peaceful and beautiful, like an angel...and then something inside of me, probably the all yack, told me to walk to the carving board, grab the biggest knife we had and cut her head off while she slept.  So I get the knife and I walk over to the bed and after about a half hour of holding the blade an inch from he jugular, another voice in me told me to spare her and let her live....and I did.  If I had listened to that first voice that poor girl would be dead now.Some of you may call me a hero or Jesus or whatever.  But, I just think of my self as a decent person.

and I'm not kidding:  I let an asian kid with down syndrome wear my high school football 'away' jersey to our senior year home coming game.  It came back with a mustard stain on the front, about the size of a nickel....again I'm not kidding.

Pulled out.  I dunno, I do alot of little things but I dont think there's been something enormous. Then again, if I planned that, I'd be a self-serving douche trying more to feel better about myself then whatever good thing I might be doing. Hmmmm. That being said I just try to be Mellow and Nice to people.

The whole premise of this thread seems a bit self-indulgent (and egotistical) to me.  I think it would be better for others to answer what the nicest thing I ever did for them was.

the nicest thing Gvac has ever done for was be my friend on myspace.
