When I go through the self checkout line, I always fluff open the bags in the rack for the next person as I’m waiting for the payment to go through.
Use my turn signal BEFORE slowing down.
Despite being disabled from a broken neck and still riding a bicycle in the evenings for physical therapy (because disability is complicated), if you are on the side of the road or bike trail having problems with a bike, I’ll still at least ask you if you need help, and I will fix almost anything you are having trouble with if asked. What I won’t tell you is how much holding posture hurts and how helping you will cost me a few days of extra pain. I’ve been there and know how frustrating it is to get stranded over something silly and shit happens. I always have layers of backup redundancy on the bike to cover almost any situation.
I pick up after myself and don’t just leave trash around because it’s “someone’s job.”
Leave things the same as or better than you found them, that’s my motto.
I recycle and compost. Guess this is a long term/big picture thing though
I’m really only good at one thing, that is designing and developing software. So I try to make all my personal stuff open source, so others can benefit from it too.
When I go to the grocery store, I grab my shopping cart from the outside corrals instead of from inside. That way it’s one less the employee has to take back in.
Bonus: I’ll also always put the cart in the stack of the same kind when I put it back - a lot of places have various-sized carts and most people just shove them in there haphazardly.
I’ve found most people who have worked retail tend to do little helpful things like that without even thinking about it.
I do the same thing!!!
It’s also nice when you get inside and people are complaining there are no carts left - I just breeze by with the one I brought in. lol
I often collect the baskets people leave in the bagging area.
Edit my forum questions to add the solution, if found.
Hey, I think you dropped this -> 👑
Thank you for your service
You are literally Jesus. Thank you
I position my car in such a way so that someone can parallel park in the space behind me given that there’s enough room for myself and the person in front of me to pull out safely.
We have a pool of vehicles at work and I always reverse them into a bay when I put them back so the next guy can just drive out forwards.
Stay out of ‘em.
Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing you can do!
Pick up litter when I come across small amounts of it.
I added a wheelchair ramp to the entrance of my home, even though I’m not in a wheelchair.
Just me?
Come on, we all know you did it so you could do some sick skateboard tricks.
I wish. It’s too hilly for even bikes here though.
I know, right? Over the years, I’ve built wheelchair ramps for people several times and not once in the those cumulative weeks of hammering and sawing and pouring concrete did one of the wheelchair users deign to get off their ass and help us. So lazy.
I didn’t even know the home addition companies hire wheelchair users for help. Which company did you do work for?
Take my cart from where people randomly left it or from the return and leave it in the store.
I do most of that except the dog poop.
Take my meds- man I never thought I was that different on or off meds until the recent ADHD medication shortage combined with some personal issues last Fall made me fall apart. My poor SO was worried sick because I was losing my damn mind, turns out I do not mask well. I didn’t realize that being properly medicated is as much of a public service as a personal one. May your meds always be available and well balanced.
Yeah …after about day 3 or 4 without meds, my short fuse is back and I’m just a ball of nervous, irritable energy. And can’t focus. Or motivate myself. I’m sure I am a pain in the ass normally let alone when off meds. Definitely a service to others to take it. Then there’s the anti depressants.
I’m the SO of someone with ADD who was similarly affected. It messed her up for months. Things are just getting back to normal now. On the bright side, she has less insomnia on the new meds.
Good on you for sticking by her while she was working it out. Changing medication is so hard and takes a while especially if you’re taking more than one kind. I am really happy you both got through it and that she found something better!
Pick up the dog poop
Would you, by any chance, intend to move in my neighborhood???
Put my cart on the side when shopping instead of leaving it in the middle of the aisle.
I would kill for you.
Brother/sister from another mother! Boo ya!
Love helping people even when they dont know it.
Respect and politeness, preach. You love to see it.
At the gym I often sort the plates on the racks I take minr from (not only mine).
I do it mostly out of selfishness, since it bothers me a lot when they’re not sorted, but hey.
