I have 9 codes sitting on my desk that I'll give away. They're good for 35% off (according to the coupon).
In order to receive one, I want to hear about a good deed you've done in the last two weeks. The world needs positivity and I think it's often overlooked or not spoken about. I'll choose winners tomorrow night (my sole discretion). Deadline to post your story will be 6 PM EST on 3/26. Codes will be DMed and I'll post the winner list in the OP. Good luck! ETA: I want to thank everyone who posted some story of their good deed in this thread. While some of you may not receive a coupon, please know that I appreciate the good you put into the world, however small or insignificant it may seem to you. The world is a better place because of your actions. Winner List @bikedamon @MAJ242 @HBIII @Tyrannosaur @Dacula @DerekL @immaculate @mike128 @Blackbeard28 10th Winner (@Dissident) needs to message @Atropian_Defector for their coupon since he said he'd throw another one in the pot (Thank you for doing that!) |

I own a small auto shop, one man shop. An older lady (not a current customer) was getting screwed by the dealer so I read her codes and gave her advice for free. It's a Volvo and I don't like getting involved in those but I felt bad for her. I'd love a coupon if you think I'm worthy.

I won the 50/50 at my son’s little league fundraiser and gave all the money back. About $300. Then my son didn’t make the team so I have to drive him 30 minutes one way to practice 3 times a week. Good times but he loves the game.

I caught a T-shirt and foam frisbee at a sporting event and immediately gave them to a couple and toddler in our row.
It was nice to see the baby smile, but also nicer to see the parents reaction. Small things bring joy. |

Took a friend of mine's 6 year old child and taught safety and marksmanship with a Ruger 10/22 last Saturday. The family does not have much and the child has been begging to shoot. I spent 2 hours going through and installing safety stuff, then we started shooting. After we got done shooting, it was apparent that the only choice I had was to gift that 10/22 to the child with the promise that we would shoot once a month. You would have thought that I gave that child a million dollars. His parents were crying when we got back to his house and they found out how our afternoon went. My heart was full.... I def enjoy teaching youth the sport, and opening them up to something other than gangs and video games.... Never pass the opportunity up to love on a child.

On the way to my match last week I came up in a car accident. Nothing bad, but cops were there. A passenger from one of the vehicles walked up to my car in the turning lane with a suitcase in one hand and a ticket in the other. Asked if he could give me a $100 cash to give him a ride to the airport not to miss his flight. Kind of out of my way, but 30 minutes extra wouldn’t make me late. I gave him a ride and told him to keep the cash and pay it forward.

What would constitute as a good deed these days used to just be manners and politeness. I gave my seatup two times at a Firestone, once for an elderly woman another time an elderly male. The male fought the gesture and stood whilst I sat in a child's chair. Neither of us folded and I couldn't feel my legs. BUT, that is how it should be all the time.

With my small department shake up, I am giving the outgoing guy the maximum flexibility on "part time work" because I know his new business venture won't be paying him much and he's already a single income family guy.
To the new guy who is moving, I told him to keep his receipts from his expenses moving. He thinks he's getting $1500 but I will be taking them all and paying off all expenses and gas. Then getting his home office outfitted with what he needs. They both need the empathy, compassion, and money more than budget and certainly more than my employer. I wish I could have 10 more just like both of them. |

Cool thread OP. I hope it (tell us about some good deeds) catches on for other things people want to give away.
I don't NEED a discount code, but if any are left at the end: I just fixed a very elderly man's laptop for free (it was a 2015ish box store POS with a mechanical HDD, 6GBs of RAM, and Windows 10 running like crap). Since all he really needed was internet and solitare, plus with only a year left on Windows 10, I threw in a used 120GB SSD and a 8GB DDR2 memory stick from the junk pile, and put Linux Mint on it, including transferring the handful of files he had. Essentially it will do everything he needs for the next 5 years, with minimal upkeep. |

He didn’t have enough cash and was fumbling around in front of me counting change so he could get his pudding. I was like cash him out and put the pudding on my check. Dude literally ran up and hugged me. My wife was almost in tears. Feels good to help people who need it. Pass it on. |

So, the other day I went to walk the dogs at the park. I parked and the car next to me was backing out to leave. The lady attempting to back out of the parking spot turned the wheel too much and hit the car parked on the other side of her. She clearly knew she hit the car, had to pull forward to correct, then backed out and attempted to leave. I jumped out and chased her around the parking lot and she finally stopped just before leaving the park. I was taking pics of her license plate and the damage to her car. I headed back to my vehicle and got my dogs.
The lady drove back around to where I was and started thanking me for alerting her to what happened. I just rolled my eyes and said sure. Both she and I waited an hour for the person who's car was hit to return, then another hour for the cops to show up. It was a brand new Rav4 Limited and the driver was a young college student who just purchased it outright with money she had saved. If I wasn't there, the driver who hit her would have hit and run. |

Cool idea, OP. Thanks for doing this.
I'm a civil engineer in private practice who acts as the City Engineer, Township Engineer, etc. for local governments in the area that don't have enough work to warrant hiring a full-time, in-house guy. One of my clients has a nice veterans memorial that was misbuilt a few years ago. It has a small reflection pool that is leaking and impossible to maintain, and the memorial was somehow built without ADA-compliant accommodations. The latter is especially bad because the memorial is at the top of a 30-foot or so tall hill, meaning older vets and/or vets with injuries can't get to the memorial without assistance. I volunteered to do the engineering work to fix the problems for free. Survey, design, bids, contract administration, etc. -- basically everything except the construction itself. This community's veterans committee operates on a shoestring budget, so this should save them $10,000-20,000 that they don't have. They're a great group of dudes and dudettes who gave a lot, so I'm excited to help give back. |

I was sitting here thinking about how much time/effort I put in this weekend (and many others) serving my family in various capacities (it's exhausting!). Then I realized that while it may impress some people here, it really shouldn't. That is what it means to be a husband, daddy, son, SIL/BIL/uncle, etc.
As of this writing there are several posters already that I would give codes to, and no doubt there will be more in the hours ahead. It's nice to know there are people who give of themselves in spite of all that seems to be crashing down around us. |

Driving through the ghetto (Pontiac for those local) Sunday, on my way home. Mid 40’s woman is driving along at 5mph on a flat tire.
Clearly too scared to stop (wise choice). I pull up next to her and she reluctantly rolls down her window. I tell her to pull over and I will help. She is still scared but she follows me to a parking lot adjacent to a gas station. Luckily it is still light out. However the critters are already stirring. I bust out that spare and jack, (factory scissor jacks are the debil BTW) faster than I have ever done before. Luckily there was air in the spare. Swapped it out faster than Ralphies dad in the Christmas Story. She tried to give me a bunch of gift cards because she had no money. Obviously I’m not taking money or any other compensation. My wife thinks I’m going to get killed because I help strangers in odd places (not the first time). It is hard helping people while telling my wife and kids to “never do what dad just did”. No family with me yesterday. Full disclosure I wouldn’t have stopped if I had the kiddos. No I don’t need the coupon, please give it to someone else. |

Helped a coworker get into a last minute hunter safety course (he filled a cancelation) and now he can hunt for the 1st time. I've put him on some good spots on state land that I hunt & offered to take him out and show him around.
Another coworker has a smoker, I bought a brisket for him to smoke for the shop right after Easter. Some of the ladies make lunch for everyone & thought it would be nice for someone to do something for them. |

Last night my car door caught the wind as I opened it to step out in my work parking lot.
This resulted in my car flinging into a car fender. Putting a dent in it and marring the finish. Nobody saw me hit it. I went into work, called security and asked them to run the plates and see if they could put me in contact with the owner. So I could tell them in person. Met up with him, and told/showed him what I did, offering to pay the repair. He denied as he figured it was not worth the hassle, but I was going to pay the full cost of repair out of pocket if he wanted. |
