These good deeds I have done in various times but they are all absolutely true even though I cannot remember the order I did them so the deeds will be all random.
One deed I did was for an old lady who wanted a phone jack and line in her bedroom.(This was before cellphones) and the phone company said they do it for a $100.So I did it instead.She said she'll pay for the phone line and jack which I got at Rural King at that time was $15. I did not charge her for labor except maybe two cups of coffee and that was it.There was nothing to it just match the wire colors.
Another deed was when I help neighbors with their computer problems they were afraid I might charge them but I didn't except again for a cup of coffee or two ,and to my surprise one of them invited me to a fried chicken dinner with her family and the other one to a lasagna dinner at a different time with her boyfriend just to say thank you.Had fun at both events.They didn't have to.
Now one other person had a FBI virus on her computer with a fake FBI message saying that they'll let her in after she pays the $300 fine. I told her not to pay it. It is a scam and It took 1/2 day to get rid of that virus and I also told them to keep their computers updated or it might show up again.(Antivirus, firewall and windows update) and a spyware scanner unless it is built in the antivirus.After I updated and ran the antivirus and antispyware I ran windows update that took about 4 hours to enter them all but the computer works fine now even to this day and that person was able to keep her $300.Yeah, I was sipping coffee while I was working on their computer :)
On one hot sticky summer day I visited a neighbor that used to lived behind me she had no air conditioner but she had about ten fans going and she also had small kids ,since my new place had central air I gave them my old window air conditioner .
My greedy brother wanted me to charge her husband for using the window air conditioner I told him I am not like that. My brother even had a book called "Borrowed Your Way To A Big Fortune" Of course the only people who made money were the people selling that book.
Anyway, on one of my bicycle trips about four miles out of town my bicycle tire blew, but as luck would have it the people which I have given the window air conditioner drove up and offered me a ride back home which I took. Now if I charge them for using the window air conditioner would they still offer me a ride?
