    I clean all the rubbish and leaves out of all the drains on my street and the nearby park so it doesnt flood every time it rains and saves the council sending someone out to do it.

    Its fun and I like doing it.

    I love on the top floor of my apartment, parking in the lowest level

    If a car pulls in when I’m in the elevator room, I’ll send it back down to the bottom parking lot after I get off on the top floor. They will never know

      Oh, I had completely forgotten that I did something similar!

      To cross the rails, you have to go under them through a tunnel. Someone on crutches took the elevator down while I was carrying my electric scooter and heavy backpack down the steps. I’d make it to the other side before them and could ride the elevator up myself (I thought it would be weird to stand inside, waiting for them), but the person looked like they weren’t having the best day on these crutches. So I walk through the tunnel and order the elevator, but turn around and take the stairs up myself, just as they’re exiting the elevator on the other side so they didn’t see me order it. When I reach the top of the stairs, they just pushed the button and the elevator was right there waiting for them ^^

      (As for sending the elevator down to where I know someone will be coming, yeah I do that all the time as well since there’s no reason not to tell the system where it makes sense to go)

    Donated a bunch of money to my daughters school for some extra classes of health and nature things. 750€ for 3 years.

    This could be nice or a mild nuisance but I left a bag of edibles on the beach for someone to find. Did it to make quiting edible easier

    I’ve given 2 strangers strangers a jumpstart in a parking lot at night over the last year or so. I suppose technically those people I helped know about it, but I haven’t been going around bragging about it to anyone (until now I guess)

  • I bought my niece a new MacBook Air. Her exceptionally poor, rural, Bible belt upbringing hasn’t stopped her from excelling academically. She needs a new computer and her family was going to buy her a $200 chromebook. But she’s off to college in a year and I knew that wouldn’t cut it. Here’s hoping it gets her to graduation.

      Does she do graphic design, or why would an Apple be better than any other brand for half the price?

      Of course a 200$ laptop isn’t very usable, but why pay thousands of dollars extra just to have an Apple logo and get the kid introduced to vendor lock-in

    I pick up litter

    When there’s litter, people don’t think much about adding to it, so I just pick things up so that people are less inclined to lazily drop their shit

      Same! I keep the street clean and it shows because it looks so nice. People really like that but don’t generally notice. Le sigh.

  • My neighbor who hates everything everywhere all the time including me, lost roof shingles in a windstorm that ended up in my yard. I put them on his doorstep instead of throwing them away… No need for applause, folks. I’m just like you.

      Checks roof shingles.

      Nope, all my slate is where it is supposed to be. For a second there I was worried that I lived next door to some terminally online Lemmy dork. This town only needs one.

    I gave my younger cousin my Z Fold 5 for free. I got a new phone and he said he wanted a foldable so it made sense
