Tell Us Now: 17 Nice Things Strangers Have Done

We are all strangers. We are all people who, at some point in our lives, will be in a new place, with new people, doing something we've never done before. It's scary and it's exhilarating, and it's one of the most amazing things that can happen to us. We are constantly meeting new people and discovering new parts of ourselves, whether we're aware of it or not. So the next time you meet someone new, don't be scared. Embrace the adventure that lies ahead. Who knows what amazing thing you'll discover about yourself and the world around you?

It's always nice when a stranger does something kind. Whether it's holding the door open for you, returning your lost wallet, or just making conversation, these small moments can make your day. Sometimes the world is a terrible and cruel place. But we decided to fight against our pessimistic tendencies and ask Cracked readers on Facebook, “What's the kindest thing a stranger has done for you?” We've never been so excited to read the comments before. Some humans are good, after all! Read 17 touching tales of strangers being nice below…
