I did not choke the stupids.
I bought a homeless man a 40 of mickeys last week, does that count as good karma?





^ Absolutely, twice the Karma if the homeless man was Bender.










^Futurama of course! Note the avatar....




nobody is taking this seriously. oh well.





Awe...I know you wanted this to be an uplifting thread.. I guess part of it is being just way too cynical *sigh* but also that it truly does feel like a good deed to not act on emotion and just let things slide....
When I really do something good for someone, its not anything I really remember or keep tabs on. I just do it and move on, yannow? Hrmm...I guess if I had to say, my best friend is having major dental surgery today, and unfortunately have to have her front teeth removed and cant afford to have her teeth replaced after and shes falling apart...she kept calling herself a toothless hag when I talked to her
Last night I called and left her this long ass message, telling her how much I love her and that she is always beautiful to me, no matter what and that she is one of the most amazing people I know. I cracked a few jokes, my goofy personality whatnots...and kept telling her to never forget that Im here for her 100% and will always love her. I think I said I love you a hundred times in my message lol But for sure, she cant have a doubt that shes thought of and loved.
On a smaller scale, I let someone cut in front of me on the road yesterday when they were stuck in front of construction and their lane ended...this is Miami, that kind of courtesy is a *big deal!!!* lmfao (eve though I griped...didnt they see the big ass yellow flashing arrow?! wtf did they think that meant?! ugh! lol)




whenever i find something of value laying around, i always return it to a place where the person can find it.
i was in the bathroom at the library at my college and there was a pair of ray ban aviators on top of the toilet paper dispenser. i returned them to the front desk and made my facebook status, "found a pair of ray bans in the library, returned them to the front desk, if yours are missing give them the description and they will be there". sure enough 2 hours later someone wrote on my fb wall "thank you so much for returning them, they were my friend's sunglasses and she never thought she would get them back! thank you!"
also returned a cell phone that was left in a bathroom, in a different building, but on top of a toilet paper dispenser.
i always try to get things back to their rightful owners. i know what it's like to lose things like that and would do anything to have them back. those sunglasses could have been something really sentimental. i have a friend woh has a necklace that her dad bought her before he died and if she ever lost it she could never be able to forgive herself.
i just try to do good things as much as possible... you never know if that karma will come back around... but at least you can feel good about yourself and have integrity and know that even if everyone else around you is, at least YOU are not a scumbag.




^that's so true. I've lost my cell phone before once and never got it back. I had a ton of pictures on there and lost all my phone numbersI also left it in a bathroom which means some a-hole took it
you make a good point when you say that you know what it's like to lose things. so many people who steal or do bad things don't think about what they would do if something happened to THEM.





I almost helped someone out yesterday....
I went to Walgreens to pick up a prescription and in line ahead of me was this mentally retarded man. The pharmacist rang up the guy's prescription and it was like $10 more than he had brought with him. This poor guy was confused and kept saying, "but this is all the money I have." The pharmacist insisted that he not get one of the prescriptions but this guy made it (somewhat) clear that he really needed all of them. I was just about to cover the rest of his bill when the pharmacist realized he didn't apply the guy's insurance to the total. So after that he was all good. I almost wished they didn't notice that because doing things like that for other people make me feel good
I'm always giving money to those people standing outside of stores that are working for some cause too. If I go out to eat and the waitress is awesome then I make sure to tip at least $20. I like knowing that I made someone's day..




^I love over-tipping! I always put all my coins and a dollar in the tip jar at coffee shops. I worked at a starbucks and so many bastards would take money OUT of the tip jar if they didn't have enough for their coffee.





^Really??! Some people never cease to disgust me..




yeah it happened more often than you'd think too. if some asshole didn't want to break another dollar they'd just grab a bunch of coins. the tips weren't even that great to begin with. maybe 30 dollars a WEEK.





I gave $20 to a pastor on the street raising money for poor kids. Didn't even occur to me at the time that it was after midnight on a Saturday or that he looked like a crack addict. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I paid for his next fix. In my defense he had a pamphlet and a clipboard, because apparently that's all it takes to fool me!
It's the thought that counts though, right?




*sigh*




I should just delete this thread..
I think people would be more willing to share nice things other have done for them rather than just brag about the good things they do.
"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: 'A horrible person.' We weren't even testing for that."





When I worked as a cashier and someone would be short on cash, I would take money out of my own wallet and put it in the register. This other lady that worked with me would be like "guuurl, you're nice for your own good." Lol.
You're right. Someone should post a thread for this ... I don't really feel like it's bragging though.



As pointed out by several other fellow members, I hate to brag about good deeds I have done for others. My problem is that I am biologically driven to do good things for others. Sometimes, people do not even deserve it and yet I end up helping them because I feel mercy towards them. Anyhow, that is just me.





I don't think it's bragging. *shrugs*




I didn't either. I actually find it pretty inspiring to hear about how people have gone above and beyond to help a person out and it makes me want to dig down and see what I can do for another person to put a smile on their face. Even if it's something small.
But I guess nobody wants to hear about it because we're all cynics who believe that a people only do good things so they can have bragging rights.
Well fuck everyone then![]()
