One thing I like to do just for the novelty of the thing is when I'm driving, be nice to other drivers. Backing off and letting someone make a lane change, stopping when a pedestrian is looking for an opportunity to cross a street, that sort of thing. I don't know if it's really a kind thing to do, because it sometimes confuses the hell out of them. But I work on the idea that if I do it, they'll maybe pass it on to someone else and it'll develop into a chain reaction (my momma always told me I should be a good example).

I am almost always the recipient of random acts of kindness when I'm out roaming around in my wheelchair. A lot of stores and shops don't have automatic doors. Trying to maneuver a wheelchair while struggling to open a heavy door is very tricky, and almost always, someone steps up and opens the door for me. And in grocery stores and such, when something is on a shelf too high for me to reach, friendly folks are always willing to reach it for me. Much appreciated!
