What is a small, specific kindness a stranger did for you years ago that you still remember?

Denver 1969. In uniform ( military) An elderly French man stopped me asked to shake my hand then “Thank you! You Americans saved us French from the Nazis!”
I’ll take that to my grave.

My son was 1.5 and having a bad day.
I was in the grocery line trying to pay with him in my arms and everything really did at that moment seem like way too much.

I had just thrown my cheating girlfriend out of the house 3 days before and things were just overwhelming me.

There was a lady about my mom’s age on her way out of the store and she stopped and without really asking said ‘“Here, just let me take him.” , and she scooped him right out my arms without me even replying.

Being overwhelmed I just went back to paying for the groceries as my son’s wailing just came to an end and I remember sighing so loudly and deeply that even people in other aisles turned to look.

I paid, told the lady Thank you, and she just walked away after saying “It’s going to be fine now.”
Which struck me because of the oddity of the phrasing.

Joe didn’t cry the whole way home and went to sleep that night and slept the entire night for the first time in days.

It was yrs ago on sw. I asked for a specific position in a specific location. And a lovely lady contacted me gave me the email of the person in charge and we even talked on phone for like 30 mins abt that position. It was so kind of her. I dont remember her name or anything but it was so touching

Gave me 10 dollars not expecting change and another bought me groceries soon after i gave $75 to homeless also spent $70 on a couple before that 35 each dollar store items for their safety

Back in 2008, I was in NZ and there was no phone with me. A stranger met me at a restaurant. He offered me his phone to dial my home and did not even charge anything.
