I was out walking the dog, when I saw a rabbit thrashing about on the verge beside me.

It turned out some utter had laid a snare and the rabbit was trapped in it, so I went over and released it. During my walk I noticed about half a dozen more snares dotted about, so I went back home, got a pair of snips and cut them all up.
The following day I won £25 on the lottery - karma.

I have had my snares cut before, I hate people like you.

You think you are helping, but instead you cost people money and time.

Why where the snares there?

Were they there to stop the farmers crops getting eaten?

Were they there to stop a horse in an adjoining field suffering a broken leg, from putting it in a rabbit hole?

Snares are set for many reasons, and interfering with them is a criminal offense.

Sorry to spoil a great thread, but people like this need to know they are trouble makers, and not doing good deeds.

My neighbours Mrs has left him and he's gone tonto.

I'm looking out for him - clearing his front garden of all the stuff he's thrown in there, looking in on him each day, lending him a few quid, cooking him meals etc

Despite the fact that he's a bellend who had previously ripped me off.

Gave a bloke on the streets two sausage rolls, one for him and one for his staffy.

Ambulance story

Heroic towing of milk van

Lots of excuses for failure

How did they get it out eventually?

I don't know. They sent another ambulance to pick up the patient (I guided it in as it got lost) and left the other one wedged in the lawn. Some recovery bods turned up in a Transit and basically said that they'd need to get a lorry over the next day to hoist it out. I was long gone when that happened.

I would cut them too.

You want to cull rabbits? Do it humanely.

A neighbour had a mild stroke a few weeks ago. My wife went round to help (she's a doctor).

The ambulance then managed to get stuck on their lawn. I went round with a tow rope, the Rangie and a "can do" attitude. It turned out I "can't do" (ambulances are fecking heavy) but it's the thought that counts.

That's rubbish. My Discovery pulled out a whole milk van from a field nearby.

I raise you ,pulled a cement wagon off the grass in my 90 v8 ,it had dropped its load mind for my garage floor so it was lighter.

I stopped someone from getting raped once.

I stopped chasing them.

I went for a bite to eat in M&S not long back when an old dear was having trouble sorting her food out whilst worrying about getting a table , I got my wife to take her to a table and told the cashier just to add her food to my bill.

Cost me about 5 extra .

Worth it just to see her face , she was over the moon.

The other day,a fella was just leaving a self scan till in supermarket and a wallet was

on the scales bit,i pointed at it before he got too far and he picked it up.

He looked grateful with a smile...

Driving down the bypass when I noticed a women's car bonnet had flipped up and hit the windscreen, she was trying to pull it down but couldnt.

I came off the slip road, under the bridge and rejoined the bypass in the other direction towards the lady. I could see she had two kids in the car.

So, I parked my X5 at a slight angle behind her car so if anything was going to get hit, the car X5 was getting it first, before her / the kids.

Managed to get the bonnet down and she dropped me a text that night saying thanks you very much.

You got her phone number then pics?

On Tuesday I drove through a huge puddle, it was bigger than I thought and accidentally soaked a woman and her small child who were coming out of the post office.

I stopped, reversed, opened the window and said sorry.

I'll raise even that.....

I once pulled a 747 that was stuck in a cloud at 35,500ft with a 4x4 Fiat Panda (mark 1 Panda at that!) - and it turned out afterwards that I'd forgotten to put it in 4x4

Just as well it was a mk1, the new ones certainly aren't up to this kind of thing.

[NoNeed]

does voting UKIP to save the nation count?

[OzzyR1]

Walking towards an ATM local to me to get some cash and on approach a couple of lads were using it.

They left when I was about 20m away but when I got to the screen, the slot still had (I'm guessing) about 100 in it.

Shouted to them but they were further down the road and didn't hear due to traffic so jogged after them and gave it back.

Prick didn't even say thanks, should have nicked it

[a boardman]

I helped a fellow running club member who posted on facebook that could not blow up her flat tyre as air lines at garage out of order and she was just starting shift as nurse on just before last bank holiday.

So I offered to get repaired. Went up just enough air in to get to tyre man. Tyre was gone. So paid to get it replaced. Took it back she was very happy.

Some pleasing accounts in here

I've often been one to ask after people if they appear to require help.
My parents described an occasion when I was 8 years old. I approached a man who was stumbling along the promenade in Brighton. I asked if he was OK and replied he was, but in a very drunken tone. My parents called me away rather sharpish so I heard.

During adult life, I've offered countryside pedestrians lifts to my village, taken lost dogs back to their owners and helped the occasional elderly person with shopping, helped where I could at a car accident and last year I witnessed a house's gable end wall partially collapse just before I drove by in the early hours of the morning. Stopped to check occupants were OK and stayed with them throughout the emergency service arrival and departure.
All simple humanistic reaction though, of the sort anyone would do.

I must admit though, that the odd bad reaction to attempted assistance can really throw me.

For example, I was a designated driver on a night out.
I left the club to collect my car, saw a man laying in an alley across the road. Attempted to wake him and no response, so called to the club's bouncer.
Man stirred a bit, but then just stayed down and didn't response further. The chap was clearly wasted!
Bouncer called the SOS bus service (of the type set up to help drunken folk on a night out).
Two of the SOS guys arrive and the four of us attempt to rouse drunken man.
Man wakes up, gets up and tells it F-off and to leave him alone while he stumbles away!

Something like that can (and did with me) make you think twice about trying to help in future.

That being said, there is the whole Karma/Swings and roundabouts/pay it forward case.

I've been on the receiving end of good deeds - people have stopped to help with my car trouble, lost wallet return, helped as a youngster by some ladies when I lost my Mum in shop.
When you're helped, it makes you want to help when you can.

Spent five minutes with a homeless guy outside my local M+S - wasn't begging just sat with a blanket round him and his dog. I asked if man wanted anything as I was nipping into M+S - he only asked for a sandwich and a coffee, which he got. Didn't want any money.

He was ex forces - really nice guy who had fallen on hard times.

2 weeks later I got 5 numbers on the lottery - 1800 and booked a holiday - go in two weeks time.

Karma is real.

I read a post from someone who thought karma was real, so I went out of my way to say "no it isn't".

May not be the best good deed, but it is the most recent.
