What is the nicest thing you've ever done for someone without their knowledge?

Given blood

[billy]

i can appreciate the blood giving (which i have done often (many years ago)) i need 20 plus pints and my friend in the uk contacted a Philippine radio station to ask them to ask on air for my blood type as Philippine people have different blood types than Caucasians. people from the embassies donated lots, as well as some radio listeners, (20 plus pints.) they saved my life basically.

Well I haven't done it yet but I was thinking about leaving anonymous notes to my friends and random people in my school that need reassurance of what good people they are or just positivity. For example, "You're beautiful, just believe it." "You think you're alone but someone's always there to listen" "You're perfect just the way you are" I could go on.

Hahah I've done something like this with library books. :]

Once I went to the market and there was a homeless woman there. I had seen her lots of times since her first appearance long ago (when she still combed her hair and washed her hands). I always came out with a bag full of soft fruit and coffee for her. On this day there was a child curled up beside on the concrete, sleeping, filthy, starving, bruised, unwanted, forgotten. A little girl. In all of my childhood, never once did anybody ever intervene on my behalf. Never once did anybody ever ask why i was bruised or why I had been missing for so long. They pretended I didn't exist, just like every single person stepping over this child to get into the market. For many years, I was conflicted and afraid that separating her from her mother was cruel and caused her pain, but I had no choice. I had to make the world safe for her in hopes that the energy created would influence reality in some hopelessly small way and other people would turn around and look at the lost little girls littering the earth. I had to make the child in me feel like somebody finally saw her. So, I called child protective services and sat in my car watching until they came and got her.
This may or may not have been an act of kindness in the purest sense. I hope it was. I really do.

It's never an easy thing -- I wish there was an effective "adult services" as well, but adults are in the "too hard" basket for society. I teach a class of youth, most of whom have been part of the "system" for several years and now we're just trying to help them make sense of a world that really hasn't done right by them. They are rough and several of them look quite unpleasant with their ragged hair and tattoos -- but they're children. Whatever they've done, whoever their parents were, they still deserve a chance to make their own world a bit better. For every horror story about children removed from their homes, there are a thousand more who have really taken that second chance and done their best with it. It was an act of kindness, Amy, kindly meant. That child now has an opportunity to become what she wants to, rather than just what poor circumstance dictates she must.

I like this idea a lot.

[Regn]

I feel too selfish to call it nice, even with sacrifice. Well, I saved a girl from possible death once, and lost my job over it because apparently there's a policy against time wasted on trivial matters like that.

Jesus, I just read a story about a nurse who wouldn't perform CPR on an old lady in the nursing home because she wasn't allowed to by the home (for fear that they'd get sued).

I left the room before I farted once.

You didn't leave in time. "Phew"

It could have been worse I tell ya

[shemthepenman]

I told a McDonald's employee to fuck off and die. They didn't know it, but it really was for their own good.

We are going to a dark place, if the nicest things we've ever done are simply withholding destruction on the annoying.

Nicest thing without them knowing.

[bena]

I've saved lives. They didn't know, because they were dying at the time.

Of course, this comes with the guilt of not being able to save them all.

[billy]

love some eventually they knew and reciprocated but they didn't know for a long time.

I have developed life saving medicine for them.
