Pay it forward, it works

[Meanie]

Got home today after being away for the week end and what do you know, someone has been in and mowed my lawns . A job i was going to do when i got home. but didnt have to
Whoever it was, you rock and a big thank you
I did the same for a fellow kb member when he went overseas. Driving past his place i noticed that the lawns had got out of control, knowing he was due home in a few days i mowed his lawns for him. Not a big deal but it was nice for him to come home too. I guess the favour came back
Dont know how many of you saw the movie "Pay it forward" but a nice way to exist

Warm fuzzies all round when that sort of thing happens.

Awesome.

That's a good movie eh.
Someone occasionally brings our recycling bin down to our front door, it gets bloody windy here and if you don't get the bin in shortly after it's been emptied it blows away. Had a neighbour who would get my washing off my line if I was at work and it started to rain. I've thought of doing the same for one of my neighbours (the one whose washing line is in perfect view from my windows) but then don't for fear they'll come home while I'm stripping their washing line and think I'm stealing their clothes!!
It does feel good to do things for others, doesn't have to be grand gestures, just little things can mean so much to others.

Awesome story! Did you knock on Cowboyz door to find out if he did it?

Pay It Forward (film): I'll hire that out tomorrow. Sounds like a good movie.

It's a bloody good mantra to adopt too

Yep, firm believer in that one. Great when it happens to you, greater when you do it for someone else.

Was at the Temple on Chapel Rd today, took my big bruv fir a visit, those guys really believe in all that, worse ways to be I reckon

[MadDuck]

Yep, firm believer in that one.

Sadly there are more takers than givers. Good stuff Meanie.

If a neighbour of mine is going away, I make sure I pop by and mow their lawns every fortnight and empty their mailbox each day until they get back.

No point advertising to the world that the house is empty and uninhabited (and vulnerable) each night.

Pay it back = 2 people benefit.
Pay it forward = countless 1000s benefit.

I think I misinterpreted that movie, I thought the moral was "nice people get stabbed". You mean I've been acting like a cunt for no reason?

[Mrs Busa Pete]

We and i are strong believers of paying it forward. Is the only way we work.

To your mystery mower.

Lol a bit of both perhaps?

Sounds like a government strategy...

I love the pay it forward idea and do it as often as possible through my daily life, be it retrieving the recycle bin from the bottom of the hill for my neighbour, giving the guy raiding the bins the rest of my lunch, or a ciggy, or just stopping for a chat with a complete stranger and it's not because i believe in Karma, fate or anything like it because i don't, but i do kinda prescribe to the "do unto others" thingy...
