Someone on Quora asked the best thing that happened for being nice and the answers are going to make you really happy.

1. When I was doing my masters, my teacher mistakenly gave me 15 extra marks in my final exam. This addition of marks raised my grade from B to A. 

When I told my friend, she asked me to keep it a secret. But I went to my teacher’s room and told him that he mistakenly added 15 marks.

2. My 2009 Macbook died last year and I brought it in to Apple to fix. They were unable to fix it at the counter, so they sent it to their warehouse and charged me the fee.

More than a week later, I hadn’t heard back, so I called their customer service and sat on the phone on hold for 1.5 hours. I was pretty irritated at that point, but I kept my cool and chatted with the person who came on the phone. As it were, my computer was too old to fix, essentially, so it came down to a choice​ ​— I could wait until the part I needed came in on back order, and get it fixed for free, or they would help me get a good deal on a refurbished computer.

3. I am currently posted in ​the ​Obs and Gynae department of my hospital. A ​​primigravida was in labour. She was crying and shouting ​in pain. 

I tried talking to her. Pacified her. Held her hand through out the delivery. It was a baby girl. ​came back from ​my duty and slept.

4. I’m a truck driver. 

One day, when I was waiting in line to load at a coffee warehouse, the driver behind me​, ​who was an owner-operator​, ​asked if he could load before me because he was in a hurry to get to his delivery on time.

5. ​My ​neighbour​’s ​wife ​was homebound. She suffered from dementia and hardly remembered her own children. 

For some reason, when I met her in her own house,​ we had a nice chat and we laughed a lot. A week later, her husband told me how joyful his wife had been since my visit and how she had been talking about me constantly​, ​and even remember​ed ​my name.

6. There is this receptionist in my office building who has a very serious face. 

Every morning I would smile at him and say hi​, ​and he never replie​d. ​Sometimes​,​ it’s a forceful greeting back and some other time​, ​it’s a serious face.

I said “ I will take a cookie from the box​, not the whole box.” He then said​, “​No please take the whole box, you are really very sweet and I am very happy that you greet me every single day.”

7. One story I remember is when I was 16, I didn’t own a computer and I used to surf the internet in an internet cafe. 

One day​, ​I was at ​a cafe downtown where we had to pay after, so I completely forgot to pay and went home. ​Halfway home, I realized I hadn’t paid and turned back.

8. In 2001, I needed an expedited passport for the first time to go teach English in Taiwan. 

I went to the Chicago passport office​ and politely explained the clerk that I needed my passport to fly to Taiwan within 2 weeks.

She let me know that my passport would be ready in 6 hours. ​Six hours later​, ​I returned and picked up my passport.

9. I was a volunteer DJ at a small classical music radio station at the end of the ​’​90s. 

One of my listeners was an elderly German lady who would always phone me to thank me for the music. We developed a friendship over the telephone until I had to leave the radio to take a up a job elsewhere. 

10. Mid ’90s in India. I really needed a particular document to get a change of my flight. 

I entered the office and the lady at the counter informed me there is no way I could get it​. The director supposedly didn’t do such confirmations very easily. I noticed she was struggling with her computer so I asked what was the problem. She said it was probably a virus. She couldn’t get rid of it for months. I offered help and ​​immediately​, ​there was a smile on her face.

11.  In 1994​, ​my then​ ​husband was arrested for soliciting a hit man to kill me. 

He was apprehended by federal agents through a sting operation. As more information was revealed about how he was caught, I learned that my husband had contacted a member of the Outlaw motorcycle gang looking for the killer.

A quarter saved my life and sent my now-ex husband to prison for 21 years.

12. There are many stray dogs in the street where I live. 

One day​, ​I just fed a stray dog with half of my biscuit when I was having my night walk in the silent street. From the next day, till a week, whenever I walk, being alone or accompanied by my friends, the stray dog followed me.

13. Once in Reno​, ​I held a door open for an older couple who was entering a casino. 

It was only a random act of kindness.

All ​that ​the man said was​, ​don’t worry about it, and that he appreciated my kindness and him and his wife just continued walking inside.

If we help each other like this, the world will definitely be a better place to live in!
