Give someone a shock day - aka Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)

26 Feb 2009

Here's an idea. Hope it works.
Pick a day soon and go beyond normal courtesy and do something really nice for someone - a complete stranger even.
Maybe carry shopping for a busy mother, chat to a lonely person, let someone out at a particularly difficult junction - anything so long as it is outside your 'normal' level of being a nice person.
See what happens and report back here.
Go on - give someone a shock. biggrin

I'll do it too of course.

I shall think on how nice I will have to be to exceed my daily courtesies and report back.

normal service resumes.

I should add - you need to be in a position to see the effect of your chosen courtesy. biggrin

Go on - do it face to face (so to speak pmsl).

It's ok, you can wear sunglasses and a scarf across your face and wash your hands when you are finished. :therethere:

these are good rules to live your life by me thinks
have had some odd reactions though when offering help over the years
offered to carry some shopping onto a bus for an older lady n you would of thought i had just treatened to hurt her from the look of fear felt awfull n tried to reasure her i was just trying to be helpfull not harm her :shock:
again whilst on a bus offered to hold baby whilst mum got buggy off really in hindsight should of offered to get buggy cause i think from the suspicious look she gave me i think she thought i would run off with said baby although she should of been able to see i couldn't of run more than 2 steps lol

i will however never lert those reactions stop me i will endevour to b as helpfull as i can always n forever
