I help the old batty lady that lives across the street. No one, NO ONE else will even talk to her. She is very strange.

I'm not doing any more good deeds for anyone but my family. If they're not family they end up shitting all over you, like my arsehole neighbours! Fuck them. They've had all the good deeds from me they're ever likely to get.

I put a dollar in the Cellar tip jar.

And I, ah, ... nope, I guess that's about it.

Good deed? Not so sure. But I did something. I'll probably get arrested for it shortly in fact. I wish I were joking.

I ran into one of my former players and his drunk ass worthless lump of a father a couple hours ago. The kid has been knocked around before and I've offered for him to come stay with us when the dad is tanked. Tonight the kid had a couple new bruises and a shiny new cast. Dad was piss drunk. I suggested LL might like to have a friend over tonight and said I'd be happy to get the kid to school tomorrow. Just trying to be friendly about things as I already know that mom won't ever press charges. Well drunk ass gets loud with me, pokes me in the chest a few times, makes some comment about knocking that spoiled Lil Lookout on his ass, and why don't I just fuck off and die. As I go walking away he starts cussing at me and LL and then shoves me in the back. I keep walking to my car until he starts making some comments to LL about his mom. At that point I turned around and beat the piss out of the guy and kindly informed him that I'll cut his fucking throat if he ever even looks at my kid again. Some of the guys from the club pulled me off him and I left with LL.

All I wanted to do is help a kid and I have to go and lose my fucking temper. Good deeds my ass. I'd love to have a couple of beers right now, but that's probably not a great idea since I know the cops will show up. Fucking brilliant. Tell my kids to use their brains not their fists and then I beat the shit out of a guy at the damn soccer club where I coach them. Fucking brilliant.

Some people need a good punch in the nose mate. Not great that the kids were there though, but sometimes these things happen.

I hope you don't get booked for it. You don't deserve it.

once at christmas time I was walking down the street and a disabled guy was trying to get into the side door of a bank, it was locked,
so I went in, found the door and shoved it open letting the gentleman into the warmth of the bank! I was about 14,

christmas + disabled + good outcome = good deed lasting 10 years

lookout123 yours it worth at least 16

That's what Gary Cooper would have done.

Damn, lookout. You did the right thing...screw that dumbass. That sucks so bad, but maybe if the cops do get involved then children's services will also. Keep us posted.
