What is the nicest thing a stranger has done for you?

When I was 11, I was severely ill in hospital. I spent around 4 months on the children's ward unable to walk, eat or do much of anything - besides playing my GameBoy. One of the Nurses noticed I was an avid Pokemon fan in the idle chit-chat that we had, as she worked around me. So at 5:50am, every weekend... She would wake me up so I could watch the Pokemon anime which started at 6:00am, with a fresh cup of tea too.

It may seem a little silly to still hold on to this memory, but I came from an abusive family. Acts of kindness were not something I was accustomed to and it was one of my first genuine experiences of kindness outside of the abusive bubble my parents made for me.
