The Kindness of Strangers

This is a totally random post, but one that we can have some fun* with. This didn’t happen to me, but rather to one of the writers for mental_floss (my absolute favorite magazine in the whole wide world).

I was out of town at a wedding last weekend, and when I got back, I found a strange thing on my doorstep — a bag with a bottle of wine in it, on which was written: ‘I parked and blocked your driveway. Thanks for not towing me.’

Leaving aside the fact that I wasn’t around to be annoyed by whatever driveway-blocking may have taken place over the weekend, I’d say that’s pretty much the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for me. A bottle of wine? I have to assume that the three other apartments in my building, who all share my driveway, found similar goodie bags on their doorsteps. What a gentleman (or woman)!

Let’s start the week off with some feel-good vibes: what’s the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
