i await the sharent in you to come out.
stui, your good deed is somewhat a qualified one. not truly alturistic but are acts of charity truly alturistic? having said that, not everyone would even be prepared to help in te forst instance, they'd rather get annoyed and irritated by the situation. |
Thanks Jock,
I wasn't in the mood to get annoyed but she was becoming seriously flustered and the queue behind me was growing.
Now what do you think you're doing getting the thread back on topic? 
Happy for anyone else to post up good deeds and beat Swoops blue tongue story, unless David becoming a Dad somehow qualifies as a good deed?

In my defence, it all began with a pretty good deed.

Sorry. As you were.

A few months ago I was trying to leave the Gold Coast hospital car park by paying my $16 charge (a lot of money if you have to attend often - puts the GP co-payment in the shade) and the machine wouldn't accept my credit card, so the guy behind me paid my fee so we could all go home. I was extremely grateful as I had a sick person with me. A couple of weeks later I paid the fee of another person in the same situation. So yes Stui, you did a good deed.
David, you have a happy and cute baby, you are very fortunate. |

There is not much you can buy with 10 cents.
But if you can get a smile and bow for that price I take my hat off to You!
You proved today you are a gentleman ready to help a lady in distress!
You can't buy that!

None of them have been reported in the media as coming down with food poisoning, so you may indeed call it a good deed.

Nope.
Sign said specifically didn't take 50c pieces.
Many vending machines don't, they tend to get jammed to easily.

Multi cultural week.
Today I did some interpreting.
Walking round the Thomastown market, Indian bloke selling some work boots. Leather (well, he was saying they were leather, I'm sure there was some leather there somewhere), lace up and zip side and steel toe cap. $29.95. Not bad.
His problem was he had an oldish Lebanese customer who could not make head nor tail of what the Indian bloke was saying,
Lebanese bloke "how much" despite there being a sign there saying $29.95.
Indian bloke, "Thirty Dollar", but he pronounced the thirty as "Tirr Tea" and old mate the lebanese bloke had no clue.
After watching this exchange 3 times, I pointed at the sign and said "He;s saying Thirty dollars. Mumbai Mick smiles, nods and says again, 'Yes, Tirr Tea Dollar".
Lebanese bloke grunts and takes off.
I wandered off too, I would have actually bought a pair if they came in Adult sizes, but he only had Mens sizes 6 to 10.
