25 Random Acts of Kindness That Backfired Horribly
‘I did laundry for my wife and ruined $300 worth of clothes’
Random acts of kindness can unleash a level of chaos you never knew possible. For instance, one Redditor gave a homeless man $5, causing other people in need to “melt out of the scenery” and begin asking for money, too. When the Redditor explained he didn’t have money to give to everyone, the group stabbed the guy who received $5 and took his money. Another Redditor found a lost dog, took it home and called the phone number on its tags. The owner answered and accused her of stealing the dog, which led to a verbal altercation when she returned the dog to him.
Other Redditors have remembered the times their random acts of kindness blew up in their faces, and it would be understandable if they took a break from doing good deeds entirely.
