Nice thing you've done for a stranger?

My freshman year of college - FIRST WEEKEND - the girl from down the hall got SO DRUNK and slept with the guy across from me.

Between the 2 of them, they drank an entire bottle of Vodka in the room. (a no-tolerance honors hall, too )

The poor girl was laying in a pool of her own vomit when I found her in the bathroom. I was bra-less, in PJs...

The RA was asleep and no one wanted to get in trouble the first weekend, so someone quietly called the campus ambulance and the guys all carried her outside to meet the EMTs...

NO ONE WANTED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL WITH HER! Not even the guy that she slept with! He was afraid that the hospital would call this girl's parents and he didn't want to be there.

I didn't even know her name...we had to break into her room to get her license/insurance card so the hospital would treat her.

I spent 11 (BRA-LESS!!!) hours at the hospital with her while she had her stomach pumped...I didn't even know her name until we found her license!

When she started speaking again, she just kept saying "Marc is gooood at sex."



Her parents showed up and were FURIOUS - they assumed I was drinking with her because I was there with her...they wouldn't speak to me.

The girl never came back to our dorm - her parents made her commute 1 hr each way!

A little less than a year ago, there was a woman in obvious financial distress w/a baby outside of KMart in Sayville. She was looking for a ride back to her house (or where she was staying) and wanted to know if I'd drive her. I was afraid to take her myself, but I did call a cab and paid for it. It was cold out and I was so upset to let her leave w/that baby I was very concerned for his well being.

A week or so ago, I took a woman home who was at the Brookhaven Women's Center. She was a client of the office and the Taxi home would have cost her $15.00. Her place was on my way home, so I drove her (knowing that if there was an issue - the center knew who she was).

A few years back, there was a little old lady who was taking a class w/me at the library. She was soo feeble looking, I can't believe she even made it there - she walked one way. She wanted to know if I could drive her home because she was tired and it was late. She lived alone and I soo wish I had given her my # or got hers because I think of her often and wonder if she's okay I know what apartment complex she lives in but not which apartment.

When my grandfather got very sick with alzheimers we has to put him in the nursing facility at Good Sam. For the area of the hospital that he was in (everyone had some form of dimensia or alzheimers) you were allowed to bring your pet to visit with the proper paperwork. One day we took Cooper to go see him and to cheer my grandfather up (he was just so sick at that point and so confused with everyone who walked in the door so we figured a cute little dog would calm him down for a little while.). My grandfather LOVED it... Cooper laid in bed with him for a while and licked him and it was just so great.

As we were leaving there was a rec room off to the side, I was with my mom and we asked the nurses at the nursing station if we could bring Cooper inside to say hi to everyone. We brought Cooper around to every table and everyone just loved him, he was so gentle (where usually he's a crazy hyper puppy) and so kind and so loving with all of these sick old people. It was great.
