View Full Version : Well that's my good deed for the day done
Just walked down to the petrol station to get a loaf of bread when some young lad is in there. He's put £41.55 in his car but only has £40 on him. He runs back out to check for more money in his car but can't find any. The cashier is now filling in forms about the money shortage when I get my change and chuck the lad the £1.55 he needs to pay :)
All sorted, all parties happy....job done.

Ah nice one fella. It's always nice when somebody does that it saves hassel for both parties. He's technically up till then on the verge of stealing and the attendant is doing his job by filling in the form.
I sometimes do that do my mates at bars when he/she has run out of money (watering hole before the cash point).

There was a granny yesterday trying to work out how to use the fast pay thing at the garage in Asda, I was parked behind her waiting to put petrol in my car, she put the card in and out about half a dozen times before I got out of my car and showed her how to work it (didnt look while she put her PIN number in) by then she was so flustered I ended up putting the £10 in her tank that she wanted as well.

I think you'll find the price of a gram of Charlie has gone up to £41.55 mate, Credit crunch an all that :p You've been had :p + ;D
Awwwwww!
I was about to buy a ticket for a car park the other day when a lovely lady pulled up and gave me her all day one. I was so chuffed! Pays me back for the times I've run squawking after people at machines telling them not to buy one as they can have mine! I swear the last woman thought I was going to mug her!
Well, today I robbed £1.55 from a kid.
The balance has thus been restored.
I got to the Dartford tunnel once only to find I had no cash, actually this was on the way to Huddy's 40th, and the nasty man at the barrier was going to give me a ticket! From out of nowhere someone donated £1 so I could continue my journey.

I do that with bus tickets occasionally, aside from the squawking, and people always look at you so suspiciously it sometimes doesn't seem entirely worth it. Well, ok, I try not to squawk as it seems to scare people off but I tell myself that I'm helping them get fitter as they run away in terror.
The lady was about to buy a ticket and I had 3 hours left on mine so I ran across the car park shouting 'STOOOOOOOOP!' She looked terrified!

If there's no one around I stick my ticket with time left over the coin slot on the machine too so the next person gets a nice present!
We was at the hospital seeing Josh's consultant once and offered an old bloke our ticket which had about 3hours on it and he turned us down saying it was against the law.
Only person to ever turn us down. His lose. lol
I was at a the Big Chill over the weekend and there are always lots of kids about during the day. I love marionettes and found a really cool monkey one for only £4 and preceeded to play with it constantly. Two little boys seemed absolutely fascinated by his 'dancing' so I decided they would give it a better home than me. They didn't really say anything (as kids do) but their parents were very appreciative. Good deed done, I preceeded to get off my face for the rest of the day!
Last time I did a good deed I ended up under the surgeons knife. In future I will be doing a risk assessment before doing a good deed.

I seem to always be stopped and asked for directions, never have to look far to do a good deed, so many needy people about these days....

I did tell him he was only allowed to blow up politicians.

Ah, my mistake sorry.
That clearly doesn't imply terrorism, merely wishful thinking a civic well meaning.

Had my dad on the phone a couple of months back. He went to fill the car up with £40 cash and managed to put £40.02 in the car, meaning I had to drive to the petrol station with 2p
Even I would have let someone off over 2p.

Really, i get away with 1/2p all the time, i thought there was discretion involved? If i could se the pump to stop at £20/30/40 i would do so, but since i can't the odd penny is always given away to me :p
I've had BT send me a bill for 1p to close an account. I phoned up and asked how they wanted it paid and they just said they'd write it off. Then I get a reminder and they say the same. All goes quiet but six months later I get threatened with debt collectors, so I decide to sod it and just pay the damn thing. Even that cost me £1. :/
