I thought it'd be a good idea to create a topic for Good Samaritans.

There aren't many of them left, however I had an incident yesterday/last night that made me realise there are still some out there.

My daughter turns 4 today and my Auntie who lives in the Western burbs rang to say "happy birthday" to her about 6pm. She was very apologetic as she said she'd lost my daughters card.

She said she was driving home from the local shops, and had put my daughters card and her purse on the roof of the car. You guessed it, she got in, and drove away. About 3kms down the road, a lady pulled up beside her and said "your purse is on the roof". She got out but realised the card was long gone. That's one act of good samaritan-ship. However, last night, the card turned up in our letterbox. The envelope was torn in the corner, and ripped in one part near the bottom, but the card itself made it unscathed.

So to whoever sent the card on, thankyou very very much! I hereby nominate you for the Good Samaritan award, 2011.

That is so cool

Anyone who donates blood/plasma/platelets is a legitimate life saver and good samaritan IMHO

The other week i had bin day off as a RDO.

I was fast asleep when I heard the truck pull up outside my house and realised I had forgotten to put the bins out

I raced up the stairs & out side to find the bin guy had hopped out of truck and walked down my driveway (you can't even see the bins from street) and was wheeling them both out so he could empty them.

Good ol Marion Council

Certainly not the mongrels who found my lost wallet last night and instead of trying to return it, tried to buy something with the credit card .

That's tops WLF. You should ring them up and let them know. They would really appreciate the positive feedback.

I always make an effort to feedback when someone goes above and beyond for me. People are always quick to complain, but much slower to compliment unfortunately.

The missus wrote out a belter of an email and she got a phone call back saying how this is one of the first positive letters they have had about bin guys and she will check who was on our route and they will be commended.

Still amazes me!!

You probably got him the ass for getting through his rounds too slow Seriously though, that is great form.

We live around some big red gums and the other day a nice big limb fell into the park,
I dragged a few branches home to cut for fire wood. (by hand saw)

The next day returning after work was a big pile of chain sawed red gum (perfect sized pieces for the fire) piled high up against my gate. I had no idea who did it, so we thanked the wood fairies and began to speculate.

As I was walking down the road weeks later, my neighbour a few houses down asked if I got the wood. (first time I had properly talked to him) he had cut it and wheelbarrowed it up hill to make the pile next to my gate.

I thanked him and we had a chat. He offered to cut more if I was keen to wheel it up the hill. It should last a good part of winter!

They're talking about this very subject on Triple J now.

Certainly not the effing prick that stole my new dog today...

I read this line about 8 times before giving up thinking it was a typo.........then read the rest of the story.....DER!!!!

Good to hear that it panned out. Who would've thought a garbo would've been in contention for a good samaritan award?

My daughter turned 8 today, she got some money to spend for a present of her choice, she gave her 5 year old brother $10 to get himself something too. Not much but it was a great gesture.

She'll grow out of it

Nup, they'll be arguing in 15 years time at a Christmas time family get together and she'll bring it up and ask for it back.

and if she's switched on, she would've already calculated the interest owing!

i know usually u cant nominate yourself but i didnt know where else to post this.
but me and my house mate couple weeks back had to break into my neighbours house who is extremely old and he had a stroke and couldnt move.
he lives alone, the lady on the other side usually checks up on him but she couldnt get in, so we broke in the back window go to him and callled the ambos.

as far as im aware he is ok atm, it sucked tho coz his wife died just before xmas to
