that was nice of you

I tried to help an elderly woman get off a cab, but she looked at me scared, I think she thought I was gonna rob her or something. Help a blind woman cross the street though. felt nice afterwards.

>not giving 500 dollars donation or something that would actually hurt you to do for the benefit of somebody else

>think your cheap hot chocolate is a gift

It is not for the sake of reputation that you do good, but reputation follows. You expect reputation without benefit, but benefit comes. You expect benefit without contention, but contention arrives. Therefore a man must be careful when he does good.

It isn't as you've been lead to believe ;).

Random acts of anonymous kindness, done out of the realization of oneness, truly are the path to selflessness.

the mentioned neighbor is me whats gud nigga

As I was walking up to him, I simply thought, "If I was in his shoes, I would sure appreciate a cup of cocoa."

I wasn't looking for accolades.

When I was in the Army, people did stuff like this for each other all the time. I suppose it's a habit.

Fuck the Salvation Army. Don't give that conservative faux Christian group a single fucking dime. They're as likely to spend it on their anti-gay lobbying efforts as they are to use it helping families. There are plenty of other charities out there that will put the money to good use.

Also, on topic: I bake treats and hand them out to the homeless whenever I go downtown in my city. A lot of the homeless vets get basic stuff from the soup kitchens, but their faces brighten up heartbreakingly fast when they're offered double chocolate brownies or truffles. Even the simplest homemade snacks are warmly taken.

>>3271548
Way to go. You are a good person.

I used to be a subcontractor in Dallas. I did a hell of a lot of driving all around the city. During the summer, it would get blistering hot. Beggars seemed to be on every corner. I'd always hand out cold bottles of water. I'd give away six or eight every day. Nothing big but I'm sure at least one out of those hundreds of people really needed it.

There was an abandoned lot next to our materials storage yard where I worked. I noticed a crazy (genuinely crazy) homeless guy hanging out there everyday.

When the winter came, I saw him sleeping under a pile of newspapers and brush.

I bought him a coat and a couple of army surplus wool blankets. I knew he wouldn't remember who gave it to him. I had given him cash and food in the past and he never recognized me when I came back.

I was on my way to a job interview. It was well over 100 degrees. I saw a black gentleman wearing the clothes of a priest standing next to his broken down vehicle.

I stopped and asked if there was anything I could do to help. He said someone was on their way. I left him with my just bought bottle of ice cold gatorade.

Hopefully I scored some points with god. ;)

>>3271580
did you get the job?

I had an apartment facing the interstate. Whenever I saw a car break down, I'd go help them. I even met a nice girl that way who I ended up dating for about a year.

>>3271583
I did. Thanks for asking.

>Riding University shuttle back to parking lot

>feelsgoodman.jpg

A couple months ago I jumped in to help save this guy who broke his neck diving into water. The news wanted an interview but I looked down at my "What Would Batman Do?" bracelet and declined.

>>3271594
i wonder what the outcome would have been had you not given that black dude the gatorade

How about a reversal? I was driving down the highway, looking for an exit. It was pouring rain and heavy winds. I saw my exit at the last second. I tried to make the turn but I ended up hydro-planing, turned sideways and flipped my truck. Everyone kept driving past. Countless cars went by without stopping. Ten minutes later, one car stopped. A black young man about 20 years of age, dressed like a gang member stopped his car, ran down the muddy hill and helped me out of the truck. He drove to a nearby gas station and called an ambulance for me.

>>3271634
Hairline fracture of my forearm and a strained neck. I got out of there with minor injuries, fortunately.

I don't give money to beggars. That's what I pay taxes for. It's not my fault that the government uses that money to wage war instead of on human needs.

>>3271667
If I know someone has another mouth to feed, I'm more apt to stop and donate. It's smart to bring their kid.

>>3271682
Yeah, that was my initially thinking, and I think it is the way I still feel about it. However, I can understand >>3271645's viewpoint. I think it is incorrect, but understandable. It is probably wrong for the father to use the child like that.

>>3271681
There are plenty of scammers out there and there are plenty of homeless and needy. Through experience, I've learned to tell the difference.

I notice clean / dirty finger nails, old / worn out shoes, oral hygiene, skin turgor, etc.

It's pretty easy to spot the fakes.

>>3271556
I did my good deed by giving all the change I would have given to salvation army to some charity collection at work. Something about children.
Either way, I'm pretty sure whoever it was doesn't actively lobby for anti-LGBT legislation.

>>3271692
But if he needs a few bucks to feed his kid and they both look skinny, I'm going to help out. He may use my cash for meth and the kid may go hungry but at least I tried.

It's a college town so there are a lot. i mean god damn one game day I gave a homeless my 5 guys fries and then 2 weeks later hes asking me for some shit

also i do NOT give money to homeless people who smoke cigarettes

I randomly pay for the order of the person behind me in line at drive through windows.
I picked up a $35.00 tab this way once.

I pick up hitch hikers sometimes, if they are going somewhere local I just drive them there.

I used to put quarters in the change slots of pay phones but there are no pay phones around here anymore.

I don't give money to beggars but I will empty my change for street musicians.

I sometimes leave exorbitant tips if I'm in a good mood.

I've donated to the salvation army annually for as long as I can remember.

>>3271661
Yea, it kind of is. This idea that it's somebody else's job is why nothing gets done.

>>3271708
>smoking cigarettes

Most definitely not. Smokes cost over $6 a pack up here in Michigan. If they can afford a smoke, they can afford a cheeseburger.

>>3271703
If I have the time, I try to give whatever they could use except money for that very same reason.

>/ck/ does many random acts of kindness
>/ck/ refuses to tip waiters/waitresses

>>3271707
Wow, that's quite a generous effort.

When I was in college in Boston I tried to be nice to beggars but seriously they were all assholes. I got a guy a sandwich one time and he was pissed it wasn't steak and that i didn't get him a coke.

Fuck 'em, I'll be nice to people that deserve it.

>>3271721
It is a lot. When I smoked, it was about a dollar a pack.

>>3271698

I bet it was St. Jude Children's Hospital. There's a few places doing donation drives for them at the moment.

They're not all like that. Some of them get spoiled when they find a "sweet spot" that gets them a lotof money. They suddenly believe that beggars CAN be choosers. Just ignore them and be charitable to those who genuinely need it.

I spotted an ad on craigslist from a woman who hinted she would do favors for cash. She needed money for utility bills and groceries.

I met up with her at her trailor home. She was bone skinny but didn't appear to be a drug fiend. She had a skinny daughter who was cleaning the kitchen.

I bought her and her daughter clothes and stocked their pantry and refrigerator. I asked for nothing in return and never saw her again.

I'm on the liver transplant list currently being treated at the VA. As you could imagine, I'm at the hospital quite often.

I see combat vets with missing limbs and burnt faces all the time. It is quite sad.

I want to do something for them but I don't know what I can offer.

>>3271755
lol

I've held too many doors to count. Back in August I was seriously injured and could only get around on crutches. Five weeks on crutches and I'd say 5% of people held the door for me or offered help.

I didn't feel bad at all. I simply realized that my previous efforts were that much more valuable.

>>3271755

I would hold it open bro.

Sorry, but I'm headed back home next week. I've got to use the rest of my money for gas on the way back.
>Really? You can't afford a couple of tacos?
Oh no, I can afford them. I'm just going back to town next week. I've got to drive four hours and will have to buy gas for the trip and I'm pretty much tapped out right now.

Actual veterans are typically good people. Thanks for helping him out.

There are fake vets who are complete jackasses too. I've encountered such people and belittled them so severely to the point that they saunter away with their head hung in shame.

The look on that man's face really told the story. He looked like a little kid on Christmas morning.

I notice there's a bunch of posts about donating to The Salvation Army.

Stop giving them money.

I worked there for 3 years as an accountant. Only about 20 cents of every dollar they get actually goes towards their programs for helping the homeless, etc. Its a very corrupt and overall poorly managed organization.

I'd highly suggest donating to a local charity that actually does something instead of a national organization that's too big to be effective where it needs to be.

i hold doors for people a lot and help old people when they're in the store with putting like boxes of soda in their cart

i want to donate eggs too... does it hurt? because i really want to give a woman a chance to have a child when she may not be able to. it must hurt not having the possibility to have a child.

I used to volunteer about 7 hours a week at a center for adults with special needs. Opened my eyes and helped me get over some of my own issues when I realized that these people, despite severe handicaps, were kind, welcoming and generous and surprisingly hard-working.

>>3271837

It must hurt being an orphan who won't be adopted because everyone wants a kid that looks like them. If someone wants a kid bad enough, they should adopt.

>>3271803- i give blood twice a year

I gave blood immediately as often as I could until I finally came out of the closet as a homosexual.
fuckin' red cross

>>3271837
>i want to donate eggs too... does it hurt?
You'll have hormones injected directly into your ovaries to mass produce eggs, then they will have to be surgically extracted, usually by going in through the vaginal canal/cervix. It's likely to feel like someone has punched you as hard as they can in the ovaries several times over.

And you may not even be qualified to donate depending on your medical history, genetic make up and other factors. You may be able to do a private donation or one to a scientific study but, much like sperm donation, clinics are usually pretty picky about who gets in.

I live in Seattle and we have a huge population of homeless. Most are generally nice though we do have some crazies but I guess its not as bad as the east coast Anyway why that matters is when I was a kid my parents would go to thrift stores and buy up wool blankets and sleeping bags. We would make about 100 lunch bags with apples, oranges, sandwiches and packets of cookies and go hand them out as a kid. I haven't done that in forever but I really should go do that again.
Those happy faces man, those happy faces

>>3271887
awww fuck. sometimes my ovary area hurts like that, but more sharper than a punchy feel to the ovaries. haha punchy feel

and is it bad to have an assload of hormones injected?

>>3271502
Welp, somebody on /ck/ today had a Dominoes half off code thread. I used the money that I saved on the pizzas to donate to St. Jude (you could do both on their website).

Err, I donate blood regularly. If I weren't so afraid of pregnancy I'd surrogate my friend's child, she is infertile, but she has decided to adopt anyways. I guess true courage/kindness would be carrying the child anyways, but uh no fuck that.

Could be.
Might cause you to develop cancer, carries a risk of stroke, complications/ bad reactions/ egg retrieval mishaps could lead to infertility.
If you want to try it out, talk to your doctor about it and see what they have to say. They'll have the best information for you and be able to tell you a full list of potential risks and complications involved with the procedure.
There's a reason egg donation is less common than sperm donation, and why it pays more. It's very time involved, usually painful and involves surgery, and you only have so many eggs per ovary.

I do the usual little things, hold the door open for people, donate money to charity. Donating toys for toys for tots, and doing several donation drives back in school for St. Judes.

I do remember something my grandfather told me. He was volunteering at a thanksgiving event, giving dinners to families in need. Afterwards, he stopped into a Denny's for a bite to eat, and saw one of the families he had given food to, inside ordering dinner. He said that the father had the biggest look of shame when he saw my grandfather.

Salvation Army is homophobic. True facts.

/ck/ DOES have a heart!

I am an Eagle Scout so everyday I help others and do good deeds.

But one big one was in my senior year of high school, I went to Walmart to buy xmas cards in December. I saw the Salvation Army bucket walking in and thought to myself, "I should do the right thing and put money in there." i bought my cards and walked out. i had 70 bucks in my wallet. (a 20 and 50) i stuck 20 in and walked off. keep in mind i only got paid 75 buck a week so thats a lot of money for me. anyways i walk out the door, and idk why but out of impulse walked back in and put my 50 dollar bill in. i felt good about it.

the next day i got a call saying i won the $20,000 national scholarship i applied for. (out of 40,000 applicants they only pick 104.)

>>3272014
Shit. What charity is good anymore? I mean, fucking UNICEF are censorship advocates.

I used to give hobo's some cash, they usually just buy liquor or drugs with it so my young ass found out.

From then on I tried to just give food so they could at least eat something.
90% of the time they just cuss and demand money instead of a nice sandwich. So I stopped doing that too.

Now I just run after people who lost stuff and help mothers with their babycarriages and open doors, like normal people should.

My friend and I picked up a hitch-hiker once. His destination was about a 3-hour drive.

Not even halfway through, I made a stop. He assumed I was kicking him out, so he thanked me and was about to go back to sticking his thumb out on the road again.

The reason I stopped was because my friend and I were getting hungry, and we just wanted some lunch. I told the hitch-hiker to come with us, but he replied "But I hardly have any money", so I told him "Fuck that shit, you're eating."

We ended up going to a sushi place, where I paid for myself and the hitch-hiker. I could tell the guy was feeling bad about having me pay, because when we were ordering, he was being a chickenshit and tried to order the cheapest item on the menu. I stopped him and ordered a couple of boat platters. After that satisfying meal, the three of us got back in my car and resumed our drive.

One very long drive later, we arrived at his family's house. He thanked me profusely, we shook hands, and I was about to leave. He asked me for my contact information so that he could repay me someday; I told him "no need," got back in my car, and drove off.

Goddamn I have way too much time.

>>3272083
That's an awesome story. :D

>>3272083

For someone with way too much time, you did a great fucking job.

A1 story, would share to others.

>>3272083

Not that I'm trying to bag you or the hitch-hiker, but seems like you've picked up someone who does hold up some life's precious principle values.

I think he did the right thing (trying to dissuade you from paying for his meal) and you did the right thing (giving him a free meal).

Fuckin' "Chicken Soup for the Soul" story worthy.

Good job bro.

Yes. You're being scammed.

A few years ago on vacation I'd pass this homeless guy, his name was Dennis. I didn't carry change on me, but I did carry cash. When I'd leave my hotel and turn the corner, he would be there. I told him that I was going to get lunch and that I'd give him my change. He'd usually be there when I returned, and I would give him my change.

At the end of the trip I gave him 8 bucks in change that I had saved up. Was I being an ass by not buying this guy lunch? I feel really bad thinking back on this.

>from the stream of people entering an older lady stops, smiles and offers me her umbrella
>I refuse but she just keeps smiling and pushes it into my hand
>she starts walking away and I just repeat thank you in my shitty pronounciation

actually felt shocked when it happened in a city subway where people just rush along and never look others in the eye, I still got that umbrella

Happened two or so years ago

>summer
>really, really hot day
>in my car, driving back from a friend's place
>a woman stood just a few metres before the driveway I needed to go in, thumb out
>stopped next to her
>she was bald (maybe chemo?), breathing really, really heavily, had a huge backpack with her
>asked me in a quiet voice if I could maybe take her to some place a few blocks away
>told me she just couldn't walk any more
>"Yeah, sure, get in."
>ask her if she needs water
>she denies, says that she only needs to go to that place to meet a female friend of hers
>drive her there
>drop her off
>she thanks me

Felt fairly good.

I can't give any money away because I'm really low on money myself but I still try to help people when they ask me.
Walked an elder couple of people from the Netherlands to the main busstop because I couldn't describe the way to them.
If I'm outside and have an empty bottle on me I leave it next to a trashcan so the bottle-collectors can get it without putting their hands into the trash can (we have a bottle deposit here from 8-25 Cents).
Things like that.

good is doing the right thing when nobody is watching

I found a wallet on a bus one day. It had a check for some where around $260, as well as $40. It also had an I.D.

So I brought it to the house, knocked on the door, and handed it over. He was surprised, thanked me and told me he'd been panicking because he really needed that money for rent. I said no problem, and continued on my way home.

But you do it for selfish reasons: To feel good about having done something good. Doesn't mean you didn't actually do good though.

kant begins his groundwork to the metaphysics of morals by making much the same point

>>3272709
No. :) I thought that was satanism. Just saying though.

Haven't been able to find anything by Emmanuel Kant I'm afraid. I'll order it online once I'm done with my current reading I guess.
