Pay it forward

Give til it hurts.  Then give some more.  And don't expect repayment.
Please give examples of what you do to make others lives a bit better.  It doesn't have to be a grand gesture and its never to small.
How do you give?

I tip every time I get a coffee.  The barista is just trying to survive, just like me, and I'm happy to help.
I give $1 per visit. $5 on holidays.

I always fill my gas tank so I can keep track of the mpg.
I pay$50 but the tank fills after$46.  Instead of going inside I offer the $4 in gas to the guy on the adjacent pump.

Fuel is cheap in America. Here it's expensive. For $50 you get about 6 US gallons here  :(

A person walks up in line at the store with a couple items and I have a full cart.
I let them go first.
And, I don't get mad when they can't remember their rewards number. :laugh:

Even though I'm aggressive driver, I always leave space for people to merge in front of me.  Especially when they signal their intent.

And I don't get to pissed when they get in front of me, then drive 5mph under the speed limit.
Actually, I do get pissed, but I don't let it jade me.

At work, we work with partners.  Sometimes another person has something they have to do, like attend a kids graduation or s hook recital, I bring my hard hat and fill in for them so they don't lose a days pay.

  I also am a team player at work.  I will fill in whenever I am asked to, and I try to get things
   prepped for the next day so there is less for others to do.  We all try to do that, really.  :thumbup:

I never shop at Walmart, but sometimes I have to return a gift, and when I'm there I steal something and give it to someone in the parking lot or donate it to a charity.

Whenever we pay for pictures for our kids school we cut two checks and tell the teacher that we'd like to donate school pictures for a kid who's parents are struggling.

Give til it hurts.  Then give some more.  And don't expect repayment.
Please give examples of what you do to make others lives a bit better.  It doesn't have to be a grand gesture and its never to small.
How do you give?
Altruism from you

I just dont believe it

Have you not heard of doing nice things for people

And then not bragging about it

I must discount everything you've written.

yes,
That is why people in my real life (have you heard of real life) don't know most of what I do.  This is an Internet message board.  And if any person here can get an idea as to how they can help another person then I say this thread is a success.
You are a nasty little bitch, aren't you!
