Strangers’ Small Acts That Changed Lives Forever: Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity
Walking through campus at night, snow everywhere. I like making snowballs and throwing them at trees or sings as I walk around. So as I turned a corner, I saw a guy holding a snowball, I also had one. We stopped, looked at eachother and proceeded to have an impromptu snowball fight. Fun times.
I was wearing bob squarepants socks and a homeless man started singing the intro, I joined, then another homeless man, we sang it all, it was epic.
I had just started a new job after months of unemployment. I hadn’t received a pay check yet, and my car ran out of gas on the way to work. I was able to get it to a gas station, but I didn’t have any money. I guess I looked pretty miserable, because a young woman approached me and asked if I was ok. When she heard my situation she paid for $10 of gas. I was able to get to work on time.
There is an older guy that rides his bike the same route as me. Every time we see each other we race. I ride fixed, he’s a roadie. We don’t even really talk to each other, we just race. I haven’t seen him a long time, but I was driving one day and saw him riding a fixed gear bike and I got all excited.
2…one where I was the good guy and one where I got helped by the good guy.
1. I was on a flight from Europe to the US. We were flying with our 6 month old baby. Flight was fine, baby slept most of the time and I struck up a conversation with some Swiss dude sitting next to me. We land in DC and have about a 4 hour layover. A couple hours into the layover, while wandering around, some guy runs up to us. It was the dude from the plane…we had forgotten our baby’s blanket on the plane but he had remembered that we were flying on to Oklahoma City so he had taken it to the gate for our next flight and given it to the staff with a description of us. Super cool dude.
