26 Small Acts of Kindness That People Will Never Forget
While you can leave an indelible mark on someone’s psyche by pranking them within an inch of their life or trolling them to hell and back, there’s apparently another way to have an unforgettable effect on them: by doing something nice.
Yes, there’s always the chance that a random act of kindness will backfire, but in many situations, it doesn’t. Case in point? The kind, mysterious woman who changed the course of an unlucky cyclist’s day with just a five-dollar bill.
“I literally coasted into a gas station out of gas on my motorcycle, then realized I didn't have my wallet,” recalled Redditor Twours1944. “Some lady saw me patting all my pockets and that I was upset and offered to fill up my tank. I only let her put $5 in, which on a bike is a lot. But it meant so much to me.”
Fortunately for this biker — and all of us — this is far from an isolated incident. Whether it was a group of drag queen mechanics or benevolent tow-truck drivers, they undertook good deeds that left a big mark. So, between your pranks and hijinks, be sure to help an old lady cross the street or something. It’s called having a balanced life.
