I was 18 and had just moved to NYC by myself, trying to adjust to the lifestyle there (having come from a small town in the South). It was my first time using the train, and I had no idea how to buy a MetroCard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I\u2019m standing there at the only working machine, with a line of people behind me, trying to buy a card. I was a little frantic because I knew people were waiting. People in the line started yelling at me to \u201cHurry up!\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cWhat, are you dumb?\u201d<\/strong> I started to get teary-eyed, which made me even more frantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, this guy stepped out of the line and told everyone to chill out. He came up, showed me step by step what to do, and paid for a 12-ride card for me. He patted me on the back and told me, \u201cNext time someone yells at you, yell back, and they\u2019ll leave you alone.\u201d<\/strong> In that moment, I didn\u2019t feel so alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without his kindness and guidance, I probably wouldn\u2019t have stayed up there and had all the great experiences I did. \u00a9 Wiffle_Snuff \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I was about 12 years old, I went to a bookstore with my cousins. We bought a few books and then went outside and started reading them. We were all getting stared down by this old man, but after about 10 minutes of him staring at us, he got up from the bench and went inside the bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About five minutes later, he came out with three gift cards. He walked up to us with a smile and said, \u201cI love seeing kids read,\u201d<\/strong> then handed each of us a $20 gift card. I had never been so shocked and touched. \u00a9 GabeTheNerd <\/strong>\/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few years back, I ran out of gas on my way home from work. I managed to get my car to the median, so I wasn\u2019t totally blocking traffic. I was stuck at this point\u2014no one I could call and no money. I had three people stop and help me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first guy asked what was wrong, if I was okay, and if I had any money on me for gas, etc. I told him my car was out of gas, I had no way of getting to a gas station, and I showed him my check that I had yet to cash, so I had no money. He left, and car two showed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Car two\u2014I chatted with her for a bit, but she said she couldn\u2019t really help me out, which is all good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So the third person to stop was an undercover officer. Really nice guy\u2014he helped me push my car towards the grass and brainstormed ideas for the situation because he didn\u2019t want to leave me there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, as the cop and I were talking, car number one pulls up, gets out, and hands me a full 10-gallon gas can. I profusely thanked the guy, even offered to get his number so I could pay him back. He refused, just said it was really no problem. It was Christmastime, and I worked in a toy store in a mall. A teenage girl came in wearing a T-shirt with the logo of my favorite video game on it. I complimented her shirt and asked her where she had gotten it because I had never been able to find that video game on a women\u2019s shirt\u2014only men\u2019s. She told me where she got it, and then she left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a world where kindness often goes hidden, some people go above and beyond to make a difference.
