Ninja Samaritan

Helping others when they least expect it is fun. Ninja Samaritan. The next time you are in a restaurant, or in line at a store, eye someone who looks like they have been having a difficult day. Discreetly, in some way that they will never know who did them the favor, pay for their meal, or purchase their goods (this one is more tricky, you may just have to pay for them by giving the cashier money and leaving). Or perhaps the person seems to be debating on which item to buy-pick up the one the don't choose, pay for it, and ask a store clerk to deliver it to them, paid in full. Or buy flowers for a complete stranger, hand it to them, and say "Good Morning (or whatever it is), These flowers are in need of some nice company, and you appear to be in need of some nice flowers. God Bless and have a great day!"

It's important to walk away. Leave the person stunned. They will talk about the random act of kindness, and may perform one of their own.
