When was the last time a stranger did something kind for you ? [View all]

I'm still waking up, but what REALLY sticks out in my memory was the time a complete stranger bought me a can of FixAFlat, for use with my flat tire. She had obviously overheard me lamenting my plight to AAA on the phone, went into the store, bought it, handed it to me with a smile.

Impressed the hell out of me! I'm sure there's something more recent.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
