    I just made sure to walk outside to pass gas instead of making everyone in the office suffer.

    It's your good deed. No one helped you push the mower, so it's up to you if you want to share that you did or not.

    It was self-propelled.

    I told this ugly person they looked good.
    Only kicked my dog once, and it wasn't as hard as usual.
    Let that one idiot who wanted to cut in front of me and drive like a azz in, so I could ride up and almost hit him.

    Ya know, philanthropic stuff like that.

    :'(:'( So you really didn't mean it when you told me I looked good and you don't have to call me a dog, I was impressed that you only kicked me once and not as hard as normal, this morning.

    It was actually two good deeds as I was sweating lots so technically watering their lawn too.

    But was it self-guided? I heard the new Yardmaster ''Cruise" is a real killer.

    Who are you trying to convince more? Me or yourself?


    I see this as a trick question, and I ain't fallin' for it.

    I drove an old lady who doesn't understand or speak English (I am not a stranger to her) and her cat home so she didn't have to walk in the rain with a cat.

    TBH, I don't believe/trust anyone that brags about anything, especially if it's over and over. Their "hard" workouts, how much they get hit on, how awesome they are... etc. Who are you trying to convince more? Me or yourself?

    im not just awesome... im kitten awesome!

    Well of course, you are discluded from this statement!

    That's really quite nice, and demonstrates to people with EAL or visitors that we aren't all bad/xenophobic idiots

    Distrust how? distrust their deeds or just them in general? also how frequent becomes frequently?

    I have to say I sometimes hesitate to offer to do things for people because I don't want to offend them.
    Example being someone who is physically disabled, I sometimes feel awkward offering to help because I don't know how they will take it.

    I think it's fine--preferable, even--to feel good about doing something good.

    It might be purer in some academic way if it's wholly altruistic, I guess, but I think it's better to do good regardless of motivation than not to do good because you're concerned about why you're doing it.

    That's valid point and kinda related to @Vikka_V 's. It's odd that we might stop and not do a good deed if it might be taken the wrong way. That being said the saying "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" springs to mind

    I would never suggest that someone not do good because they are concerned about why they are doing it. My suggestion would be to make a habit of doing good. Make it part of your lifestyle, do these things without thinking. If it becomes part of your routine then you won't feel the need to talk about it, but you still did it. That person will remember it and hopefully be inspired by it, do something similar and pass on the kindness.

    What if, by talking about it you inspired others to go and do more good deeds so the net good deed's is higher if you talk about it that if you just did it and kept quiet...

    in fact I think it might be selfish NOT to talk about it! :lol:

    When asked by panhandlers for spare change, I always reply :

    "Ya got change for a twenty? "
