"Kindness This morning I went to put petrol in my car (something I actually dislike doing). As I reached for the pump the man at the pump behind me approached and reached for the nozzle. He said "a pretty lady shouldn't have to do that" he then proceeded to do it for me. It cost him nothing more than a couple of minutes of his time, but it made my usually cheesy grin a great big cheesy smile. I bought him a massive bar of chocolate to say thanks. What simply act of kindness could you perform today? Knitter kisses " That's a bit sexist, don't ya think? | |||

A little chauvinistic and probably trying to get into the op's knickers. But I guess he struck lucky in that the op dislikes putting fuel in her car - I know many women who would have given him short shrift and told him to fuck off and mind his own business At least he got a big choccie bar though, so I might give that a go - I don't mind putting fuel in a car, it's having to pay for it I dislike. | |||

"What a guy. A small good deed goes a long way. I stopped 2 lanes of traffic yesterday to allow a mother duck and her three tiny chicks to cross the road to get to a pond, at first people were beeping at me but as soon as they all saw the ducks I got a round of applause and a hundred thumbs up as I drove off. " Thank you see just lovely peeps | |||

"Some women would find that patronising me thinks Why? I know he was just being nice but did he think you couldnt do it?" I would feel incredibly patronised like the time Mr N and I test drove a fairly powerful car. When we returned to the garage the salesman expressed surprise that I'd actually driven it then said "well done" he didn't say the same to Mr N and just accepted that he was capable. What made it worse was that I used a walking stick at the time. We bought the same model car...elsewhere. Moral of the story is some women like this kind of thing some don't. | |||

"Funny but this post actually saddened me instead of making me smile. It's such a shame that we now live in a world where most women now feel (often to prove a point) that they have to do everything on their own, and as a result certainly by the comments that a guy will always have an altering motive behind just trying to be a gentleman. Maybe it's the company we keep but it seems sad. I'm now left wondering whether I should open the door, move the chair, lift a heavy bag into the car, stop to change the flat tyre, fix the blocked sink, cut the hedge, pay for those few extra items of shopping that had to be removed as she hadn'tenough cash.......All of which I've done a few times. I guess fuck it.....If she then thinks I've an altering motive that's her loss as to knowing someone actually genuinely cares and respects. I'll not change though."

I have watched people allow me to struggle with things regularly. At work I have to lift heavy mattresses and furniture and very rarely does anyone offer to help. Or when I have my two young children with me and I am doing a lot of things at once. In this society you have to learn to do things for yourself as its not often that anyone will actually help you. So when it does happen I then feel extremely shocked and wonder what's in it for them | |||

There's a huge difference between all of those things and sticking a nozzle in a ladies tube and giving it a good pumping I gladly and often help people out regardless of age or gender, if it appears they are struggling with something. But if it made the op happy, then that's fine too | |||

All those examples you've given are lovely and thoughtful and I've done them all myself. The scenario Knitter gave is entirely different. This wasn't an act of kindness to some, it was a creepy way of interfering with something that bought attention to himself. Like I said, if he wanted to connect with me, a smile and a hello would have done. If I was struggling in any way, I would relish the help (I played the dumb Brit in Ontario once as all the pumps were the same and I didn't have a clue) but interfering in something like that would have me creeped. I also drive hire cars with various fuel rules and I don't want to trust someone else to fill up the way I want to. | |||

" I would usually stop for a woman or old person, but not for a healthy male. Might sound sexist, but my rationale is that even if the woman knew how to change a wheel safely, they are often not strong enough to take the nuts/bolts off and re-tighten them - same for an old person. I always ask if they want any help first - never been refused, but if they did, I'd probably say "are you sure?" and if not needed would drive on. | |||

You have returned a blessing to him/her and encouraged them and secondly you liberated yourself...freed to recieve. It's a great feeling. I find a lot femininity has disappeared with the hardnes of ' I can do everything myself' approach. It's not endearing IMO. " You find a lot of femininity has disappeared just because a woman can do thing's for herself? Do you find those women make you feel less masculine? | |||

"A pretty lady shouldn't have to do that????? WTF Exactly! Mingers and men fill your own car up ....I can honestly say no one has ever offered to stick the nozzle in for me...I have to be a minger !!!

" Twice men have insisted on taking over the changing of my flat tyre and I am quite sure there was no alterior motive......well, one off them did run off with my wheel locking nut which cost me £30 to replace but apart from that..... I would usually stop for a woman or old person, but not for a healthy male. Might sound sexist, but my rationale is that even if the woman knew how to change a wheel safely, they are often not strong enough to take the nuts/bolts off and re-tighten them - " That would not normally be true but once in a country lane I got a flat and neither me nor a trucker (who's access I blocked!) could shift it with the standard spanner, he had to jump on a yard long extension he had on the lorry to crack it!! God knows who tightened those ones! | |||

"As a regular bus passenger I do kind deeds most week days. Giving up my seat; helping people on and off buses with buggies/shopping trolleys; chatting to the people at the bus stop or on the bus who want someone to talk to. At a petrol station I did have a man shout over that I had picked up the wrong nozzle. I'd just realised myself I was about to put diesel in instead of petrol. I helped an elderly lady manoeuvre her trolley around a difficult corner. I help shorter people get things off top shelves. I don't discriminate against ugly people.

"People are quite cynical now a days. A simple act of kindness is often looked at and dissected.We seem to have forgotten simple acts of kindness used to be the norm usually manners and being helpful. We are always going on about being labelled on here but we do it day to day in real life.He she is being sexist, condescending or wants something back.Yes some people may have ulterior motives but majority do it as it's who they are thoughtful people. Sometimes people may say the wrong thing but their intentions were for the good.A smile and thankyou to either refuse or accept is all that is needed in response. If it was a simple act of kindness he would have just said "here let me help you with that". I have never witnessed a straight man approach another straight man and taking the petrol pump from his hands say "I can't see a good looking guy struggle with that" " I'm straight and I've helped men change a tyre or even open a door for them...whether straight or not ( didn't cross my mind to ask or even look to see) does that make me fab straight now lol Funny how these topics are injected into ant tread now a days lol. | |||

As I said some people have ulterior motives.I was talking about acts of kindness not the ops one.I would have just smiled and thanked him but filled my car up myself as I'd find the wording he used quite off putting But also I am wondering what generation was he? Older generation may felt he was being chivalrous. | |||

"I'd say he was a chancer, dont be overly impressed ! to this and all the other negatives I blow a soggy raspberry. Random acts of kindness should be encouraged no viewed as sexism or stalker behaviour. I love doing random acts of kindness it makes me feel good all day, and usually puts a smile on the face of the recipient even if they are bemused at first so would your act of kindness include saying a pretty lady shouldnt do that? Is it the word pretty or his offer that offends you?" Neither offends me | |||

Probably wouldn't be quite so clumsy with my wording, but I have bought flowers and given them to the first woman I saw in a skirt before, never told her why, and she happened to be elderly but it was a sexist act in intent. Still got 2 smiles out of it though " Now that is lovely...even with your norty thoughts | |||
