Going grocery shopping this evening made me think of another little gesture I do. Whenever I get a cart for 25 cents or a looney I always return it and leave te coin in for the next person who takes it. It always make me happy when I forget a coin and there is a cart sitting there available to use so I always figure it must mAke the next person happy. I know it's small. But sometimes it's the little things that count. I call it cart karma.

The world is a better place because of you guys!!

On day when I was at work at a store I noticed a purse was left in the bathroom. I found the wallet inside and waited for someone to claim it. About 2 hours later a lady called the store and asked if anyone had found the purse.... which after describing it I told her I had it. She explained that they were tourists passing thru town and had left it there. They were going to drive the 2 hours back for it, but I suggested that I would run it to the bus depot and put it on the bus and have it sent to another bus depot 6 hours ahead of them so they could pick it up on their way thru.... they were so thankful for not having to drive back....

It was back in 08 when my ranger was new. I unloaded at bruderhiem, I enjoyed watching the kid in the new snorkled jeep drive thru the natural springs in the first pit. Till he got stuck with the water above the window sil. He walked up the hill soaked after he flooded his jeep and let all the water in. The kind(useless) fella's with thier lifted one tons were too busy laughing to help. With my brand new truck and brand new strap and a whole bunch of 4low I manage to get him out. Turned out there is a few old car rims in the bottom of one of those puddles. He put a hockey puck sized hole in his transfer case and froze it up solid. So I left him with the strap cause he was going to need it a lot more then me.

I shoveled grain for one of my producers yesterday.

He turned 74 yesterday, and can't wait to start seeding.

A few years ago I took my troops to breakfast at humpty's....no I wasn't paying since there was 20 of us or so. But when we went to pay, were told that our bill was paid by an elderly couple who had just left. Although I don't think I could fork out the $250 or so they spent, still left an impression and I do the timmies thing once in awhile

Talked to my good friend Renne yesterday. They hoped a few more guys could help dig but they are getting it done. If I wasn't slammed at work I'd be all over it. But yes your right snopro. That's a great example

Hey let's start spreading some good karma! Do a random act of kindness for someone you don't know and post what you did up! :)

Make someone's day! :beer:

Last random act of kindness that I can remember was shoveling both my neighbors walk cause I was already out there and on a roll!

Good thread Rowdy!!!
I was travelling back to work (working in Hinton at the time) and just north of Sundre was a hitch hicker with a suitcase, thought it kinda odd as it was mid January so I picked him up. It turns out that he was from Nova Scotia father of four, and heading to Grande Prairie for a job with Klassen Cats, he ran out of money in Calgary so he started hitch hicking. I dropped him off in Rocky Mountain House, bought him a motel room for the night and gave him $200.00 for bus fare and meals. I also give him my phone # and asked for nothing other than a call that he made it to GP. Hope all turned out well as I never heard from him again.
