What good thing did you do recently?

gmku · 09.17.2008, 05:13 PM

As in morally redeeming, nice, kind, gentle, etc.

I gave a dollar tip today at S'bucks for my mocha.

!@#$%! · 09.17.2008, 05:14 PM

how is that morally redeeming?

i bet you wanted the girl to remember you-- oh yeah you did.

but it'll take more than a buck

ploesj · 09.17.2008, 05:15 PM

i helped an old lady get off the train and gave two tourists directions to something in the city.

terriblecanyons · 09.17.2008, 05:15 PM

I haven't left my house in a week.
I guess that's morally redeeming.

gmku · 09.17.2008, 05:16 PM

No, morally redeeming is just one example of a category a good thing can fall into.

Mine falls more into just "nice." Although one could argue that I really wasn't doing them a favor. By supporting the tip system, do I support a corporate policy of underpaying employees?

On the other hand, if I didn't tip something, I'd look like an unappreciative jerk.

Being nice can be complicated.

!@#$%! · 09.17.2008, 05:17 PM

i slept all afternoon. that was something nice.

as for something good-- i signed up to do phone bank w/ the obama campaign this weekend. now of course i actually have to show up. but it's a start...

gmku · 09.17.2008, 05:18 PM

What about doing nothing? Sometimes I think the least harmful thing we can do is stay inside our abodes and "just be."

Everyneurotic · 09.17.2008, 05:22 PM

wanked off.

gmku · 09.17.2008, 05:23 PM

Every morning I do things to help my wife wake up and face the new day.

I make the coffee and pour her a cup with just the right amount of cream. I press her clothes if she needs something ironed. I work out with her during Gilad--I used to do my own routine at a different time until one morning I saw her working out and it seemed so lonely, and she tells me this has made a difference to her in keeping at it.

I also pack her lunch.

I don't do these things because she demands them but because I truly want things to be better for her.

Actually, though, I think she'd get pissed if I stopped doing any of this--especially making the coffee.

Contributed to this country economy by buying cigs. And then smoking them.

EMMAh · 09.17.2008, 05:24 PM

I brought the laundry in for my mom because it started to rain and I put it in the dryer.

Well, it was either that or wanking off like Don Knotts on PCP.

Hmm, maybe the wanking thing would've been better after all...

Danny Himself · 09.17.2008, 05:42 PM

I donated the fuck out of some orphanage

Trasher02 · 09.17.2008, 05:46 PM

I helped out a woman at the train station, she didn't know which train she had to take. I know, I'm the modern hero.
