Nice things you've done for people.

Surely you can still get money out from a bank as long as you have some sort of ID with you. Maybe a student card or something. Or the bank might even ask a load of security questions if the person didn't have any ID.

Having expensive clothing could just mean she has rich parents or a rich boyfriend.
I got my first Louis Vuitton purse at the age of 15.. /Spoilt brat :D:o

Nice things i've done today..... I opened doors for two women and their prams, and a rude woman who didn't even say thanks.
 
To OP, as others have said, you didn't do a good deed, you got robbed. Oldest trick in the book.

My girlfriend fell for the same thing, woman needs train fare, gf gives train fare, gf sees woman in the same place the next day doing the same thing.

Keep an eye out for her you may be able to get your money back if you see her again, but I doubt it.
 
My good deed was rather dramatic. People will probably think I'm making it up, but, C'est la vie.

Was a Sunday afternoon some time around last year when me and the girlfriend walked to our local Italian place. Took a short cut through a field when some guy came dashing past with Old Bill hot on his heels. Was two female officers. It happens from time to time around here but it was still weird seeing it. The chase, not the female officers.

I was so ... dumbfounded that I started jogging after the dude as well. The officers came tearing past me and managed to catch the guy. He was kinda old but quite sizeable. Anyway, he got rugby tackled. He was on the ground wrestling with the officer, easily pushing her off him. He got up and a stand off ensued. By now it was clear the female officers felt threatened. Their whole body language seemed reluctant to go near him.

Anyway, I walked up to them and offered help. They declined. As they spoke to me (and into their walkie talkies) the dude turned around and dashed away. Officers yelled at me to catch him. Oh yea, now you want my help.

I dashed after him and tackled him, as I got on top of him I just grabbed hold of his hands and pinned it down. I'm not particularly strong by any stretch of the imagination but it was clear this dude was going nowhere. He tried struggling but gave up. Officers jumped on top of him and cuffed him.

They took down my name and address and said I can look forward receiving a thank you note from the police. Never got anything.

Anyway, my good deed for the decade.
 
Erm i kept a door open for someone once and helped someone in a fight.

But anyway i'm going to memorise a few of the responses above, and repeat them next time when i am asked this question. :D

I gave 7.60 to a tramp two nights ago. Well, he was a big issue seller, and I said I can give the big issue to my friend who likes the occasional read. He told me he'd been undercutting prices all day and was £9 down, only had his last big issue so he couldn't give it to me. It made me think he was a legend. Still had rules even though he was begging. I just gave him everything in my pockets. He then said thanks a lot and said he's off to see his fiance'. Maybe fiance' is slang for drug dealer... never know these days!

Also, bit of generosity couple weeks ago, Zoltan's annual teenage cancer fund raising, gave 40+ pounds to charity the day before I got paid (all that was left in my bank) had a 45 minute walk home, but felt good about the whole thing.. concience was happy I guess..

Oh dear. Hustled.
The reason he wouldn't give you his last big issue, is because its his only big issue, and he doesn't work for the big issue. Lots of homeless people get one copy, ask for money then don't give a carefully crafted story as to why they can't give you their last copy. Check the date of the mag, they're usually yonks old and that one copy has probably earnt them hundreds of pounds whilst it's been in their hands.

I once gave a tramp about a tenner in loose change before stupidly realising I had no money to get the bus back to the train station. Long, cold, walk :( Least he enjoyed his burger king and special brew though :p
 
I phoned an ambulance for an old guy who had collapsed in the street, everyone else seemed to be ignoring him.

Turns out he was extremely drunk and had passed out .
 
Helped out a disabled person in a wheelchair, they were shaking that much, they couldn't put the key to activate the elevator in college. Then, you see people laughing at them walking past, makes me sick tbh :/
 
Although you've probably been done, that was very nice of you.

I do nice things whenever I can. Like this morning, a bug was on the rim of my toilet. I shooed it away before flushing said toilet.

I think I have been had off. It is kind of upsetting that there isn't really a genuine person around. Dog eat dog world :\
 
No, don't think like that, they'll win! Lots of genuine people around, a surprising amount.

We had a wallet handed in to my workplace a week ago with £650 in cash inside.
Good people are around
 
There's a blind man that tried to cross the various roads around Bank at about 08:35 most mornings. Everyone ignores him despite him repeating "can someone help me cross the road please". It's totally shameless, so whenever I see him I'll always help him cross the road. I still get sneered at by most of the passersby though...
 
Oh yeah, I volunteer as an Ambulance responder. See nasty things, at all hours of the day, probably saved some lives, and no pay. That's nice.
 
Not something I've done, but had done for me.

Was the day before I was going on holiday so I had just been to get my travel money etc. Went to Asda to pick up some bits and bobs and used the self service machines. Got home went to take my wallet out my pocket and it wasn't there. Hurried back to Asda to find I had left it on top of the self service machine and a teenage lad had handed it in.

Now, I'm not judging, I'm a teenager myself, but if I found a wallet with little over £1000 in it I certainly wouldn't be running to the customer service desk any time soon.

I guess I should repay the world somehow.
