Random Acts of Kindness

[2Funki4Wheelz]

Well there's plenty of nerdy techie stuff on the Forum, and lots of giving out, constructive or otherwise but I thought we shouldn't bury the little moments of commuting that make you feel warm and fuzzy - even for a minute.

Come on people share your good deeds or the good deeds of others - even IE's ! maybe we can inspire future goodness.

A few IE examples of mine:
Twice this year I've been very blonde and left bags on the train when coming home, once in the summer and just last night (16 Nov).
Both times the guys in the station, Portlaoise earlier and Tullamore & Portarlington last night, were very helpful and delivered the bags to Port on the next train where I could pick them up and always phoned me straight away.

There's a nice ticket checker who never wakes up the people that are
sound asleep in the mornings, and remembers most of the faces of the annual/monthly ticket holders and tells them it's okay so they haven't struggle through handbags or coat pockets. Yes - by the rulebook he probably should check them all - but sometimes rules can be bent

And me being the street angel/house devil I am:
Late one evening I was in the back of beyond (i.e. Heuston, Platforms 6/7/8) waiting for someone. An elderly lady asked me where the public phones were and we looked around and there were none up that end, all at the front entrance. She needed to call her daughter as she waiting for her somewhere. It's a long walk. So rang the number on my mobile for her.

My partner has carried bags for older women quite a few times or helped put them in the luggage racks.

And if I'm ever travelling on my own, I always move to let friends/couples sit together instead of stubbornly sitting on the outside seat or whatever.
