The chance to do a good deed makes me happy:

Earlier today I'd just pulled into a parking lot, and I'd parked next to a man who has just stepped out of his car. I noticed that he was carrying a bag from a local fast-food establishment in one hand and a drink in the other. As I'm getting my bags out of the trunk I also notice that this man has dropped his items. Specifically, he has dropped them in the bed of a truck that he's just walked past. As he continues walking to the store, this man is looking furtively around and behind him, as if he's realized he has dropped his things and doesn't know where he's misplaced them. Well, being a helpful fella, I figured that I should be of assistance - I take these dropped items out from the truck bed, and place the bag of food wrappers on his windshield, firmly securing them with his windshield wiper so a gust of wind won't make him lose them again. I also placed his drink container on the spoiler of his car, setting it upright so none of the refreshing liquid inside spills (the -22 temperature helped to keep his frosty beverage frosty, so all was good. It would've been a shame to find the remnants of a milkshake to be smeared all over the car).

When I had finished my shopping, the man's car and his lost items were still in place. I thought to myself that this man will be extremely happy when he comes back, knowing that a kind stranger thought enough to not only retrieve his dropped items, but to return them to the proper owner in such a way that he could find them and remember to keep them in their proper place. I was made happy knowing that my simple deed spoke such volumes to a clumsy and forgetful man.
