What was it, and why did you do it? (And please don't say it was just "random"...what was your motivation?)

I helped the carry out guy put the groceries in my van this morning. I figure his job is hard enough without me standing there doing nothing while he does all the work. Anything I can do to lighten someone's load like this is a pleasure for me.

A agree that this is often a thankless job...I try to do the same when I'm shopping, or if I take my groceries out alone, I always return the shopping cart-at least to the "coral".

I agree. I always take my cart back, too. I hate it when I try to pull into an open parking space only to find someone left their cart there.

Good question. I honestly don't know. It's the whole random thing that throws me. I try to do nice stuff all the time, but how often do I have an ulterior motive. Probably giving everyone plusses even when the answers aren't that great was the lsat kind thing I did.

That certainly counts! I guess my definition of "random" would be something I hadn't planned to do when I got up this morning...basically anything nice that isn't on the "to do list", like holding a door for someone. Basic human courtesy (which we seem to be lacking these days!) count as "random acts" in my opinion. Good for you!

hmm, well I am certainly random often since I very rarely plan anything in advance. Most of my life is just thrown to the wind. LOL

Besides giving the people who answer my discussion a + , I helped my school janitor lug this heavy metal thing up 2 flights of stairs cause it was late and he looked really tired.

I gave you a "+" for that-you deserve it! Janitorial/custodial work is a necessary, but often thankless job. I bet he appreciated the help.

Now that is a kind thing to do, and for a good cause. Most would expect someting in return. (A + for you!)
