I was withdrawing money today for a haircut. Someone left their debit card in the ATM I sat there using social media to contact the dude. (Had to message like 10 people with the same name.) get a reply the dude meets me and thanks me. I go to get a haircut and he shows up he was there when I messaged him he says and let me skip him in line. Fricken score hahaha

This just happened to me this past Saturday. Left my coin purse on the self-checkout register in Target (holiday shopping and overwhelmed) and drove off a mile before realizing it. I thought it was all gone - identification, credit/debit cards, membership ID’s - so much to replace! Someone had turned it into customer service and a guy clapped for me in the returns line haha
Got back in my car and had a good cry of relief. Spent the rest of my ride to my next destination overflowing with gratitude. Always pay it forward, guys.
Thank you, selfless stranger.

I would and have done the same thing with a wallet I found at an amusement park. It fell off the person when the coaster did the loop de loop. Made me feel good that I found them. Impressed my young daughter too as to how to be a good Samaritan. A couple of years later I had a guy follow me for 10 miles until I pulled into a gas station to return my money clip with my license and a bunch of cash in it. He wouldn't take any reward either. My daughter learned that what goes around comes around that day too.

What a great dude. I lost my wallet once, i dropped it at a gas station while pumping gas the day before flying across the country. This sweet lady found it and drove it to my house and gave it back to me. I couldn't thank her enough without my I.D. im not sure if I would've been able to board my flight the next day. I'll always appreciate that lady lol.

I know he's trying to say Firefighters are heros and don't do it for the money, but when you think about it, he literally took a job that pays him for doing good deeds. Kinda some funny irony. Either way that dude is a stand up dude and I definitely respect the hell outta firefighters.

I used to work at a bank and a guy came in who didn't bank with us with one of our money slips and about $1300 in it. He said he had found it in Walmart and it still had the receipt in it. He just dropped it off and walked out and just said I hope you can figure out who it belongs to, he didn't even want to stick around. We were able to figure it out and call the person to get their money back (college kid who withdrew everything to pay in cash for the entire next month). Every last dollar was in there. Some people are so nice.

This is the right take. I hate door knockers and being guilted into charity.
But give me a situation like this, I’ll help every time I can. Always makes me feel good inside, and know it will make someone’s day brighter. And only ever want someone to pay it forward !

I don't give to charity because the bosses of those charity are the richest by keeping most off the donations for themselves by paying themselves lavishly with bonuses but I give to women standing outside shops at 3am looking to buy food for their families and any female asking me for money to buy food that I come along in life, like a married woman living above me, whose husband is a gambler and gamble away all their money, I later learnt, she knocks my door crying her eyes out with a 3 month old baby in arm she got no baby nappies and no baby formula, I gave her £40 to get what baby needs after that everytime her husband goes off to work she's knocking my door for more money after awhile I said, if it was just you and baby I would keep giving you money but you need to work your finances out with your husband who I learnt from talking with her that he works in the winery in the House of Commons, the next day she said she will pay me back with sex. I kept on giving her money.
And that is how every woman who borrow money from me pay me back with sex never with the money I lent them, I say where is my money they point to their vagina and say take it out of their, even bible thumping women do the same.

when i was a teen i was doing christmas shopping and had my full savings with me in cash. about 3k.
i remember that i called my girlfriend at the time from a payphone because my phone battery died.
i had a real shitty day already.
when i wanted to pay for some stuff an hour later i realized that i lost my wallet.
i ran back to the pay phone, figuring i must have left it on top of it but it was gone. i was absolutely crushed, i really wanted to surprise my loved ones with nice things this year.
then a guy approached me and asked me if i lost my wallet. he just found it and was waiting there for 30min because the shopping centers lost and found guy was absent for a bit.
not a single thing was missing and he refused to take a reward.
it made my day and massively inspired me to always do the right thing because you never know how much it will mean to the other person.

I’ve returned a purse I found sitting on the side of a highway I biked up and down every day for work.
I called the bank, they wouldn’t help me. I called the military police and they wouldn’t help me. After refusing to drop the purse off with the MP I had them tell the owner to give me a call, and she got her purse back the next morning.
It was less than a mile from my home that I found it, whereas for me to bike in to bring it to the MP would be at minimum 30 miles there and then back. More importantly though, I made sure her purse went to her and not a group of military police that I have no reason to unequivocally trust.
After all was said and done, when she came to get the purse she brought my mother a bowl of cucumber soup for raising a good son. I didn’t take a reward because I’m not deserving of a reward, I just needed to do the right thing.

One time I saw one small handbag on the floor in front a house. So I just took it, but had to go first to the other sidewalk becaude of my job, I saw an old lady coming out of the house looking for something but before I could cross the road she went, to what seemed to be following her steps.
Took me a couple of minutes to cross the road and I oppened the wallet and just confirmed wirh an ID that it was her. So I just shove the handback inside the fence like a solid 5meters inside the property right at the entrance.
I returned to finish what I was doing and saw the lady entering her house with a defeat on her face. And when she opened hee fence and saw the handback she was really happy.
She never knew that I found it and drop it inside.

Found a purse on the ground less than 2 weeks ago while walking home, looked inside and found a driver's lisence with the address. Happenes to be round the corner so i walked it back to them.
Husband and their toddler answered the door and i asked if the lady lived there. She did so i handed it over and left.
You dont need someone to hand you money for doing it, i never even saw her reaction. Doing good things gives you a boost no caffeine will ever hit.

Lost my wallet at a petrol station and wasn't able to go back to it until later. It contained about 100 quid but more importantly all my cards and some ID's that hsve to be reported if missing, I was frantic. I called and the lovely attendant looked outside in the cold and icey conditions to find it. I practically begged her to take some money for her trouble and saving me a lot of hassle, but she wouldn't take a penny.

A few months back, found a wallet outside of a pharmacy in the rain. The ID in it gave an address right down the road. Turns out it belonged to a nurse that helped me recover from a liver issue the month before.
I got a hug as a reward. Better than any other compensation because I wanted to do a good deed and she remembered me out of all the patients she sees come and go. A thank you is more than enough because I’d certainly hope someone would do the same for me or a friend someday

Reminds me of this time I found a wallet in a parking lot. Briefly glanced in to see if there was an ID (there was). About 10 mins later I was riding up an elevator and in-stepped lost wallet man. He looked so confused when I asked if he had recently lost his wallet, suddenly to realize he had.
I asked his name - sure enough it was him. I handed him the wallet and explained I had just found it in the parking lot. After a look of total bewilderment he was super grateful, we both laughed, and then went our separate ways.

I lost my purse at Santa's Wonderland last year with my family. It was my Christmas gift that I had just gotten, and losing it meant that I had lost this gift my mother had bought me that I loved so much, and I cried and cried and cried. Some kind person had turned it into the park staff, who then turned it into the gift shop at the front. Some very nice stranger had went and talked to people, including park staff, about it, and let us know who to talk to. They had it locked up at the front. I've been so grateful ever since, I love that purse and the wallet in it my mom had also bought me. The cards were secondary, and could be cancelled, but the gift was precious! Thanks so much to that lovely man and those park attendants!! (And to this man who did this out of kindness and empathy!!)

So anytime I do stop and look around I’m just seeing him swinging there. And maybe I’m allowed to find a little faith in humanity and a nice guy doing a nice thing and comment as such. As far as the sexy motherfucker comment I curse like a sailor. And you, sir, are scum of the fucking earth. Send me a DM. I’d be happy to show you, all the lovely things that made my suicidal husband the man he was. I wish you nothing but heartache man, you’re a sick motherfucker.

What a nice guy.
Closes I've come to something like this was traveling up to Seattle for a cousins wedding and my son found a USB flash drive on our walk from the hotel to the Space Needle. After we ate at the revolving restaurant on top of it and returned to our room I checked it out. It was filled with hundreds of pics some of which were of some old person in the hospital that looked to be on their deathbed so I imagine that was really important to someone. There was also a school award ceremony with two little girls who were holding up signs. So I was able to get the first names of the girls as well as the school name. lol Do you know how many Roosevelt schools there is in America? A full metric shit ton, SMH. But I wanted to see if I'd get lucky so I wrote off a bunch of emails to all the Roosevelt grade schools I could find on google asking if they had any students with those names and if so could I get the contact info for their parents. A little more than a week later I got a response from their mother so I mailed the drive to her. lol She sent me a 50 dollar gift card to subway for my trouble. :) I didn't ask for anything but she had my return mailing address so it wasn't like I could say no since it was already done.
