HOW TO BE GENUINELY NICE

This is a short note to the general public to perform good forms of kindness that leave little room for santimoniousness. Here are my favourites:

Buy a packet of cigars and leave it behind the reception of a maternity ward, for all the new fathers

Hail a taxi. When it stops, get the driver to roll down the window. Give him a Mars bar then run away.

Buy a copy of a daily, then give it back to the person who sold it to you.

Smile at people

Pop a sugar cube next to an ants' nest





If you are a man, put the loo seat down. If you are a woman, put it up

Pat a dog

Swap places with the person behind you in the queue

Pay for a stranger's coffee

Hug someone

What do y'all think?

  2. The ideas are not bad, but you can do so much more for free. Plus, being genuinely nice is something you possess not something you decide to do on sunday afternoon at the corner store.

    Good luck in your quest to be a nicer person, if everyone were trying, just trying, this world would be much different.
