someone does something nice for you and you continue it by doing something nice for someone.... pay them back by paying it forward.

at least that's what i take it to mean.

A few moons ago, i went to starbucks. one hand was my drink. other hand was my pastry. plus i was carrying a bookbag.

to unlock my car, i needed my keys. well, both hands were full of starbucks products. i put my drink on top of my car. got keys, and opened door. then took off backpack and put it in the car. then got in car, and started it. i completely forgot my drink. some kind person stopped me and pointed to my drink.

yesterday, as i was approaching starbucks, i noticed someone put his drink on the top of his car. then got into his car and started driving away. i flagged him down, and reminded him of his drink.

if it werent for my blunder a few months ago, i wouldnt have noticed other people putting drinks on top of their car. i would just goto my destination. now i do a quick scan of the top of cars in parking lots when i'm at fast food places.

If you have paid it forward, what's your story?

edit:
changed: payed = paid

I must be tired, I read the title as

I paid for it.

Thought this thread was about hookers

I almost always end up giving people a few bucks at a gas station every time I go there. It's starting to get frustrating because it's costing me a good amount of money. Unfortunately it's a different person every time so I can't tell if they're scamming me or not. Whatever, hopefully I've been helping people out who really need it.

Reminds me of the very kind people who would inform me of my broken tail light. I had it for about a year and heard about it on maybe four different occasions, of course I always acted very surprised so they would think they'd made a difference.

I don't pay that forward because I know the guy with the broken tail light knows he has a broken tail light.

One of these days the cops are going to pull you over because of that, and then they'll find your weed and the dead hooker in your trunk.

If you'd listened to those good Samaritans from before, you would have gotten away with it. Oh well.

I prefer to call it a random act of kindness.

Love the bumper sticker. It confuses people who actually think about it since most bumper stickers are strident about one thing or another.

I think the premise in 'Pay It Forward' was a little deeper than being nice or being a good samaritan.
