Ah yes, the other side of the story... being the stranger and handing out the kindness. I've done many things like that - stopping to help people with buggies, heavy loads or just opening a door - that thank you can make it all worth while.

Of course, it's also got me covered in blood, shouted at for being a busybody and late for work so many times ... but still, I've had people being kind to me, I can't repay them, so I forward it on to someone else.
