*** OFFICIAL Pay it Forward/Random acts of kindness thread ***
I was part of this. I never get Starbucks but it got me to thinking... There is a lot of negative, horrible shit that happens in the world and to us. Maybe having one thread where we celebrate the what is best in us all wouldn't be such a bad thing.

We can post something that we heard about or happened to us or one of our friends or family. Doesn't have to be a big thing. Sometimes the small things like buying a cup of coffee for someone can make a difference. Anything we heard about a selfless act, giving to someone else for no reason other to make their life a little better, if only for a brief time can be posted here in this thread.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

An act of kindness at a Starbucks drive-thru in Florida inspired an 11-hour chain of paying-it-forward.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...ucks/14380109/

A woman drove up and paid for her own iced coffee at 7 a.m. Wednesday at a St. Petersburg store, and also asked to pay for a caramel macchiato for the driver behind her, who then did the same for the next customer.

After a few people continued the chain, the employees started keeping a tally on a piece of paper by the window.

By 1:30 p.m., 260 people had paid it forward, according to the Tampa Bay Times, ordering their own drinks and paying for one for the stranger behind them. After people ordered their drinks and drove up to the window, barista Vu Nguyen explained that the drink had already been paid for and asked if they'd like to return the favor. In total, 378 people agreed to keep it going.

The baristas thought that if the chain lasted until closing, at 10 p.m., they would put the remaining money on a gift card and continue the next day, according to the Tampa Bay Times. But the chain finally ended in that evening.

At 6 p.m., the 379th customer ended the chain by ordering a coffee and declining to pay for the next one.

Nguyen says he doesn't believe that final customer understood the pay-it-forward concept.

Some people will really get pissed if you try to pay for their food.

It wouldn't be a BRC thread without the humble brag.


I'll pay it forward though and insult the person behind me, too. PGM smells.

The Starbucks thing happens somewhat often. Often enough that I've had people pay for my drinks two different times, and my wife has had people pay for hers more than once, too.

There was a homeless man about 3 weeks ago near 69 and 95th panhandling. I clipped him as I went around the corner.

He's in the hospital now, I suspect. So he has a nice bed and some food for as long as they keep him.

No need to thank me, Green-Coat-wearing Homeless dude. This is all about you. Pay it forward.

It happens at our local Dairy Queen, all the time. Should I post this, the next time it happens?

I personally wouldn't, but only because I don't feel really good about it unless I'm helping someone pay for a $5 cup of coffee after someone already paid for mine.

I was thinking a thread on something you had heard about, not really personal stories.

My wife's friend is getting married next month and they asked that people perform some sort of pay-it-forward kindness instead of getting them a gift. I thought that was pretty cool.

There ya go. Thats what I'm talking about.

If you didn't know the bride and groom, we would have not known someone was thinking of others instead of themselves. Even on a pretty selfish day, a wedding day.

Sometimes the greatest gifts come in unexpected ways. Hopefully your body and paint shop also had a pay it forward thing going.
