Great stories! I think when we read or watch the news its easy to lose sight of the fact that genuinely caring and helpful members of society greatly outnumber the dickwads. It's probably the old 80/20 thing

Getting ill really opened my eyes to this!
I'm continually astounded how many people will go out of their way, if only for a short while, to make a difference. Simple things like holding open doors, giving up seats, or stopping the car to allow you to cross the road - even when not at a crossing - to helping with shopping, offering a lift in the car, or generally just go out of their way to offer a bit of help. I even had a taxi driver and a hairdresser refuse to take money off me after doing their job. I used to do those kinds of things myself before I got ill, but thought I was the exception, as I never noticed the good deeds of others, but now I do.
Correction to the previous post*I handed my girlfriend superglue instead of lip balm last week.
I handed him his leatherman, and not the glue. :facepalm:
