I don't have sex with all the women on this site. I think thats pretty nice of me.

But you do with all that ask, right?

Lols. Yeah, thanks for not having sex with us 😉

I don't punch as many people as I'd like to

As a delivery driver, I spend a lot of time putting around, and get a lot of spare change accumulated in my center console from people tipping quarters or dollar coins. So I make it a point of giving those tips to the homeless. I'm big on the 'random acts of kindness' thing, so I try to find other ways of helping out, but that's probably my most consistent one.

Does refraining form making snarky remarks to believers count?

My neighbors are disabled. I put out their trash can on trash day and put the empty back in their garage.

I wear headphones at night, to not disturb the day walkers.

I'm not an ass to people?

thats good enough for me, if everyone had that attitude, the world could be pretty awesome.

I help people with little things when I see the oortunity to do so. I thank people for little things. I share my home-grown vegetables with friends and neighbors.

2

Anything to help animals and I hold doors open and talk to anyone if they talk to me. if I can help and I don't dislike people then I do. I always clear my plates away if I eat out and leave the table as I found it and I always use my manners.

I clean my neighbors side walk and driveway with my snow blower every time it snows.

I do small stuff frequently: Giving my empty shopping cart to someone going into Aldis (only some will understand this), helping a person with a huge cart of groceries unload at checkout, congratulating others for the small kindness that I notice from them, opening doors for the elderly, etc.

I hate the Aldi shopping cart thing, don't have coins on me, I did buy one of those tokens, but lost it.

General gentlemanly stuff, like holding doors for people. If I see someone grappling with something who clearly needs a hand, I give it. TBH though, I'm not out there looking for good deeds to do. These are "crimes" of opportunity. =]

1

I open doors for everyone and usually smile at everyone.

I don't swerve into the oncoming lane.

Whatever's needed at the time 😉 Opening doors, picking up litter, etc.

Helping in a practical way. I was recently staying at serviced apartments and observed a woman waiting out front, clearly for a taxi. After 45 minutes, it was a complete no show. I offered her a lift; she was running a late for a course and she was from Darwin (this was in Canberra). She was so grateful. I didn't do it for the gratitude; I did it because I had the time and the douchebag taxi company had left her high and dry. It made my day.

Feed the critters. Take all of my edible vegestables, onion peels, banana skins, pepper tops and egg shells and what ever else is natural and go out for my walk and leave it on a trail for the deer, rabitts, racoons, birds, whoever comes along.

Send hand written thank you notes.

I am respectful, friendly, and thankful to anyone that lightens my load. I’m mostly referring to all the people who we routinely get services from; restaurants, stores, service industry. These people get my full attention and gratitude. I also give money to anyone who asks and some that don’t. I Pass it forward whenever given the opportunity

I help people, but am not really into it. I am kind to animals, but carefully, my place is a sanctuary for a lot of animals even though the space is tiny. Our welfare system has gone downhil in the past 20 years, but it is still better than most. People on welfare have almost double my level of income. I find poverty is a mentality that shoudl be discouraged. Last night I got an email from the CEO of my energy provider suggesting I donate the revenue from my surplus solar power to someone struggling to pay their bill. This represents 14% of my income and cost me a lot of my savings to put together, I need to recover that investment. I do pay forward, but to be honest, more for fun than kindness, I like to think someone gets a buzz out of it and will do the same at some point.

I keep bird food in a little container that I throw out to the birds every day as I head for work. I also keep bottles of water, granola bars, travel wet wipes, and a few singles and fives to give to random homeless folks who I may pass. During the winter season, I also had new pairs of socks to give out too.

I give my change or dollar bills to homeless or needy individuals. I see myself when I look at them. I was never homeless, but I could have been if I didn't have such a wonderful mother that wouldn't let me quit/fail.

I resist the temptation to punch religionists and conservatives in the nose.

Oh, all right, I do what I can to help people out in any way I can. (They might leave me in their Will.)

I never said that!

I try to live my life by the Golden rule.... Don't be a Dick. It works. Mostly.
