Random acts of kindness really do make the world go around. I myself in situations where my 6th sense tells me it's safe will stop to lend a helping hand. If it wasn't for people doing it for me in sticky situations, things would suck a lot more than they did. I especially return the favour after my episode in Calgary a while back.
My car had finally died completely from the damage caused by the accident a few months prior, so I was having to take Calgary Transit. Sometime between the time that I had gotten onto the C-Train and the time I finished doing some price shopping and buy a pack of cigarettes and a book of bus tickets, I discovered my wallet had been stolen. I had everything in that wallet including birth certificate SIN card (known in the US as your SSN card), Driver's License, bank card, money, etc. The worse part was that I still had all my ID registered to my Ontario address (3 provinces away), and therefore had no way of replacing a lot of it. When I explained the situation to the girl at the cash register, she decided to pull a random act of kindness. She said "As a random act of kindness, I'm willing to pay out of my pocket for your bus tickets so you can get home, but I'm not willing to pay for your cigarettes."
That simple random act of kindness saved me from an even larger problem. Aside from being 3 provinces away from any family with no ID, I was also faced with the problem of being stranded clear across town from where I was staying in the -43°C (-45°F) weather with no way of getting home. Such a simple act turned out to be one of the best things anyone could have possibly done for me.
Sometimes it's more fun that way hehehe >:D
