I'm always helpful. Too hard to narrow down any for storytime.

I help people remember to park properly. Am I nice or what?

One time when I was out walking my dog, I was walking past my cousin's house where he lives with his partner, and I noticed the back door on his car was left wide open, so I went in by and knocked on their front door to tell them they'd left their car door open. If no-one else had come along, then their car might have ended up getting stuff nicked from inside or have the whole thing stolen altogether.

Couple years ago I was going to work and I notice sparks coming from underneath the vehicle in front of me, a few minutes later, flames started to come out from the underside. I was able to get their attention and get them to pull over, as I was running to tell them to get out of the vehicle the passenger opened her door since she couldn't hear what I was saying and at that moment flames shot up over the hood. All 3 people got out safely, but the vehicle was a total loss.

I bought my little sister some googly eyes and a glue stick and taught her how to make boring pictures, leaflets and advertisements interesting. I think that was nice.

While I was a elementary high school pupil I picked up an umbrella on the ground for an elderly staggering along nearby it... and some other basic things you might see "helpful" to those in help.

I can't really say I have a story in my mind but I'm nice and kind to just about everyone.

Found someone's wallet Saturday night with their Driver's License, credit cards, money etc all in it. Planned to mail it back to him. Left work yesterday evening and found out his address was within 2 miles of my work so I hand delivered it to him. Everything was accounted for. He was a happy man.

Hello, Nath. That's just being helpful.
But what would be the definition of 'helpful' when it borders on kindness and is of a random nature?
If some friend calls you ahead and wants help moving, would your service be helpful? random? kind?
A duty?

Speaking of random acts of kindness is difficult when one's right hand isn't talking to the left - but I can tell you this for a beginning - I experience many random acts of kindness from people - quite often total strangers I never see again.
Sometimes I never forget them - like this couple who suddenly came to my aid when I had to avoid T-Boning a careless driver reversing out of their driveway like a maniac and I had no option but to swerve and plough into a snow drift that had my car securely wedged under a ten foot pile of snow. Long story . . .

And then there was that time the TTC driver let me ride for free because I had no change. I'll never forget that.
I didn't know they didn't make change; it was the first time I rode it, and it was an emergency.
Embarrassing, but a relief to not get thrown off the bus.

It was only much later I learned that TTC drivers have that privilege - to let people ride for free; random acts of kindness at their discretion.
