Yesterday i did a good deed. I paid for a guy's truck tire. Normally i would have judge this guy as a loser. He begged them to sell him the tire for what he had. He was $100 short. They said no. When it was my turn in line, i let the ring up my purchase, and then i told them to ring up the guy's tire for his truck. I told them not to tell him i did it, and to charge him for a warranty for the tire. I saw him pull into the bay, so i guess they did it. I wish i can say i got some special feeling from it. Times are getting hard for a lot of people. I could be next.

Great job.....better to do it without one knowing. Otherwise they would follow you home. But seriously....sure you made his day, and hopefully he will return a favor to someone down the line.

Way to go Brian You did a great thing, hopefully more will learn from what you have done and do the same for others. We should all pay it forward....start by renting the movie.

He's probably thanking God for getting a break. I hope we can all be someone's secret blessing at some time.
