Paying it Forward (nice guy/girl related thread)

[The Big Train]

So idk how many of you guys have seen the movie Pay it Forward, it's got Helen Hunt and that kid that saw dead people.  Anyway this thread is about that.  So I was getting lunch today at Goodcents and this little squawk in front of me got a footlong turkey on white, and was getting the meal deal.  Well this poor soul had his card declined 3 times  so me being the that I am paid for his meal.  Let me tell you guys the  that came across his face when he learned he wasn't going hungry for lunch was just the best.

So, what have you guys done and will do to Pay it Forward?

[Cartierfor3]

Story doesn't check out. EMAW's don't have cards declined.

I let people in all the time on the highway.

I've probably been nice to someone before, but I'm having trouble recalling any particular instances.

[Emo EMAW]

I help women get their bags in the overhead storage.  Old men, too.

when I do this mrs. dave gets infuriated. I will slow down to let them get in there if they turn on their signal. she is a typical "floor it to get ahead of them so they can't get in" POS driver.

Last year before a Cats FB game, I was at the Dara's, you know the one that's right by campus, close to the stadium.  The college aged girl in front of me was getting a fountain drink (prob to put vodka into, lolz) and something else, didn't have enough money, or they didn't take her card or something.  Anyone, I stepped in and said, "just put her's with mine".  She said thanks, and then we went our separate ways and watched EMAW.  What a day.

This is very hard for me to do because on the rare occasion i do this they generally do something really stupid in front of me.

People that tell brag stories about having covered some dinky nothing purchase for a stranger are really cool guys that aren't lame dickholes at all.  I learned that from this thread.

oh man these are the worst, they do them all the time in tulsa. was in a quikmart and bought some little crap for a meal or whatever and the lady told me the person in front of me paid for it. i looked back thinking okay cool and it was a fat dude with about 150 dollars worth of crap. very abruptly said ummm no grabbed my crap and walked out

[ChiComCat]

I mean if you are paying for theirs and your own, I get it.  If you are just paying for crap you didn't order instead of paying for what you did, that is really dumb.

So you don't pay it forward then?

One time in college I had my Taco Bell order payed for by the person in front of me in the Drive-Thru (something like 4 bucks), so I asked the drive thru employee how much the car behind me's order was going to be.  They responded with "$24.83" so I was like okay welp nevermind and I drove off to eat my free Taco Bell at home.  Who spends 25 bucks at Taco Bell?

[Mrs. Gooch]

Paying it forward means someone did something nice for you and then you did something nice for another person. Maybe you should recognize the person who did the nice thing for you instead of just patting yourself on the back.

If I was working at a taco rough ridin' bell, I would've pocketed that $4.

[pissclams]

every day i stop by a local florist on the way to my office and pick up a large bouquet of the most beautiful of that day's floral assortment and then stop by a different nursing home and deliver the flowers, one by one, to each of the elderly in the home.  then i bring all of the elderly out to the rec room and play patty cake with them and eat fudge which i had hand made the night before.  then it's off to work for a day of getting stuff done.  rinse and repeat.
