These ideas below are from Sharjeel:

• Move an injured animal/bird from the road to the side and then call animal services.
• In bad weather offer someone a ride especially the elderly, people carrying groceries or someone who you just saw missed their bus.
• Let your little cousin/kid/brother beat you in a video game (be subtle about it).
• Bring a big bag of munchies at school/work and put it at your desk for everyone to have.
• When someone asks for help and you don’t know the answer do offer to help them find the answer. Then consult Google.
• Get to know the janitors at work/school by their first name and smile and say hi every time you pass by them. They get ignored by usually everyone so they’ll remember you.
• Address cashiers by their first name (read the badge).
