How kind are you?

What's the kindest and/or most generous thing you've ever done for someone?

Helped a cousin get set up after her painful divorce...$ for apartment, etc.

Guess that's it lately...terrible to admit, but I generally like animals better than people. My favorite charity is the local no-kill shelter.

I let people merge in front of me on the freeway.





I helped out at a place that feeds homeless people a few times, I should look into doing that again.

I can see where this thread is going...... good thing the seat is down.

For me, it's the Troop Calls effort for sure. For those in need of atonement, and it looks like there are a few, it's not too late

That's not kindness. It's a legal duty. State law requires you to allow owners to retreive their personal belongings from the car.

Not on the scene it doesn't. I can make them come get it at my facility at my convenience. I also don't have to knock and offer them the chance to surrender their keys lest i have to tow the vehicle, thereby saving them hundreds of bucks on an emergency tow fee, either.

I don't eat dead animals. It doesn't matter. If I did, it would only be a few ounces of the slaughter. I let insects and spiders go about their business, but I draw the line at fleas and flies.

It's probably a smart move from a tactical standpoint too - if you approach/treat people as human beings and let them see you as a human being who's just "doing a job" and even "doing them a favor" it probably helps to eliminate potential conflicts. Smart, IMHO.
