Extremely small good deeds you perform because we live in a society
As uttered by Saint Costanza,
What is a stupidly small gesture you consistently do for your fellow humans?
Example: In restrooms with automatic paper towel dispensers, I always wave my hand a second time so the next person already has a towel ready for them.
the deeds we do are good because they are done in the absence of 'witness'... I am in no way I am actually 'Bragging' by divulging.
That’s the point. Deeds that aren’t worth bragging about. Other OTHER topics.
Love leaving quarters in the gumball machines when leaving the grocery store.
When someone buys me my coffee in the drive thru. I returned the Favour and buy for the guy behind me. This put a smile on my face starting the day.
I live on the second floor of a condo building. Packages delivered to our building are left in the entryway. We on second floor have developed a custom that when we see a package for anyone on second, we bring it up and put it by their door. More convenient for them, and cuts down on theft.

Awesome, I do this too.
I always hold the door if I see someone coming, even if I have to wait a bit, and the person wouldn’t have expected me to do so.
They say thank you etc and I say “you’re very welcome!”
today there was a really rude, loud, and inconsiderate man on my flight
i ignored it and didn't say anything to him (as i normally would) because he was with several young children and i don't want them dealing with the memories of at worst their dad being dressed down and humiliated on a flight or at worst, witnessing his dad getting into an argument with a stranger on a flight
he was the worst though
today I was on a flight and despite being rude, loud and inconsiderate I gave glowing customer service reviews for the flight attendants.
Spoiler
and I didn't get into a fight with this dude who I sensed thought I was the worst.
I am kind to children because I sympathize with a parent and sympathize with being a child.

A couple of years ago there was a computer upgrade on the systems that tracked flights for small planes (or something like that). Something went wrong and nation-wide all small planes were grounded. We were in the Denver airport waiting for our short hop home. Of course the concourse where most of the small planes leave was a zoo. At the time no one knew what was going on. We were standing around - no seats available - when our flight was called so we went up to the podium. Of course they changed their mind, but we just stood there because it was just as good as standing anywhere else. Boarding soon was announced quite a few times but didn't happen (we eventually had to stay overnight). While we were standing there, a guy kept coming up to the gate agent and demanded to know what was going on, when we were leaving, and he be able to get home to his family. He wasn't loud or abusive (beyond being an *******) but he was relentless. After about the fourth time he came up I said "Dude, what do you want? She doesn't know anymore than we do. Do you think she's keeping secrets for fun?" The guy stared at me a second and walked away. The gate agent quietly thanked me. About 15 minutes later he came back and apologized to the agent and thanked me for making he realize he was being an ass.
wow, well done
i think we can both agree though that i wouldn't have had the tact to have handled it as well as you did and probably just angered the guy
I have the little plastic bags for use when I'm dog-sitting, and one of those reachers that people with arthritis use to get stuff off shelves (it's a whole story why I have one of those).
Anyway, when I go for a walk around the neighborhood, I'll take those along and pick up trash.
Of course, there's never a difference--the stuff gathers about as fast as I get it. But it makes me feel better, and a few people have thanked me.
Also shovel for the couple two doors over. They do a lot for me, like watching the house when I'm off on an adventure. So maybe that doesn't qualify, we help each other out.
Costco, I park and when heading to the entrance I look for someone just finishing unloading their cart, so I tell them I will take it so they don't have to take it to the cart corral.
I just refrained from telling two autists to STFU despite the fact that they richly deserve it for ruining a thread in a different forum with a pedantic, pointless off topic argument.
sorry booker 😀
I do my best not to ever be in anyone’s way ever. On a sidewalk, I’ll step onto the grass so whoever is walking towards me doesn’t have to. Or I’ll jog across the street if a car is waiting for me to cross. I also walk stupidly fast for some reason, so it gets me to where I’m going a little quicker as well.
Something else I do on occasion is that if I can tell or sense that someone is in a hurry, I’ll let them cut in line. I’m never in a rush when grocery shopping.

i'm guessing you live on the west coast?
in my more indiscriminate yut i lived in seattle for a spell and nothing entertained me more than finding the biggest possible chokepoint at a bar, usually walkway to go to a second room in the back or bathrooms and just firmly plant myself in the very middle of it
i got a huge kick out of this because people would silently crab walk along the wall instead of doing what would have happened back east "hey dumbass you're blocking everyone"
If someone needs to merge into my lane, I always let them in if they signal.

I do all of this except walk stupidly fast.
I especially let people who look busy at the grocery store go ahead of me.
I don’t care about wasting a few minutes — I’d just waste them later anyway.

So many days I approach dumbass people standing/ blocking in a stairway. Instead of yelling move or pushing down, I just say what's going on here like a polite lad.
Whenever I am walking across the street and see something sharp in the road that could cause a car a flat tire, I kick the object to the curb or pick it up.
Tires are expense to buy. Not everyone has a spare tire. And I've seen a grown man once break out in a sweat even thinking about having to change a tire.
