When Did Your Good Deed Go Sour?

what's the most Awkward negative or plain crazy response you've gotten after performing a good deed I was driving home from university one day and I stopped for a red light I looked around and caught eyes with an older gentleman and the car next to me and we both snapped our glances forward as if we had caught each other looking at songs in the men's bathroom eyes sheepishly looked back to the guy and we caught eyes a second time I waved he laughed and waved back awesome why don't I do this more often I spent a week waving at people randomly and being super friendly it was 11:00 in the evening and I was walking back to my car in a friend's apartment complex an older man walked by and I took a brief moment to greet him good evening sir and he responded oh god please don't hurt her me I was so taken aback by his response that all I could do was stare he cried I have a family they need any please please just let ME go home I told him to have a nice night and I never talk to strangers ever again and to this day he tells his friends and family about the night he was almost murdered in the parking lot of an apartment complex I found a woman's purse on the road while walking back to a shuttle from an all-day concert it was close to midnight and there was 50,000 people walking 2 kilometers from the site to where the busses shuttles parking lots were etc on the shuttle I looked through the purse there was lots of cash credit cards expensive sunglasses etc I pulled out her cell phone and called the numbers that made sense home mom and dad most recently called etc this was before texting was really huge and she hadn't sent a text in two weeks I had no luck so we went to bed and decided to try again in the morning her address was from another province so I knew finding her before she left and before we went back to her home province as well was important one of her friends finally answered and said she was staying with another friend she gave me a number of someone else who knew someone who knew that girl's number I finally got the number to the house where she was staying and called it I asked for the girl and she said Oh cool so can you bring it here the house was out of our way not on the way home at all I offered to meet back at the concert site or a restaurant or gas station along the way she sytem said my friends are still sleeping so how do you expect me to get there I decided we could go slightly out of our way and go to a restaurant near her for brunch she ended up waking her friend who drove her there anyways she comes in walks up to me and just puts her hand out I give her the purse did you steal anything I know exactly what was in here so I'll know if you stole anything number everything is as I found it but it might have been picked up by someone else before me she searches through everything before she's satisfied I didn't rip her off I am now expecting at least two thank you this is what I get a bunch of my friends and family said you called them in the middle of the night and this morning why did you do that and you were using my phone for long distance and I don't have a package so you cost me money I was dumbfounded all I could muster was I had no idea how else to find you would you rather I had just left it in the street I don't know it's just been annoying she turns around and leaves while working at the Geek Squad I was at an in-home job upon entering the customers home they obviously didn't have much and I immediately felt bad that they contact the Geek Squad cause they're super overpriced they only wanted a hardware install which was a super stupid reason for it anyway upon powering up their computer I noticed it was horribly infected with spyware and running like crap they wanted a memory upgrade and I knew that there was no way in heck that was going to affect a machine this badly infected as a GS agent my primary job was upselling not fixing computers big surprise huh and I didn't feel right telling them it was going to be another 130 dollars to fix their machine as they were already forking out 150 dollars for a memory upgrade and they were obviously poor as heck kids running around half-naked in old faded clothes mattresses on the floor ancient color TV nothing in the apartment for furnishings and this pc which was obvious their main source of entertainment yet I was judging them with whatever it was obvious they weren't doing so well I had no other calls for the day so I decide to be a good guy and fix up their machine get it all cleaned up running like brand spanking new show them they didn't need a hardware upgrade and explained to them that I was never there I wasn't charging them and to have a nice day they were super grateful on the verge of tears and whatnot and I leave feeling or summoned like a computer ninja I think nothing of it until two days later I get called into my manager's office he sits me down and throws out her name I'm thinking oh crap he's going to fire me for not charging them I say well yeah what about her manager then tells me that she called in and complained about the service said I was super rude and the man did I make the check out to me personally instead of the Geek Squad she demanded a refund saying the job wasn't done right and she even had the nerve to say that she also thinks I stole her wedding ring and my jaw just drops to the floor and I sit there stunned for a moment when the manager looks at me and says so care to say anything in defense I decide that there's no way out of it and spill the entire story including the situation to the manager I pull up my bank statement to prove I haven't had any deposits in the last few days and he counters that I could have just cashed it at this point I'm all are you kidding me you really think I'd do something like that in the end I managed to convince the manager I didn't steal anything but I had to deal with an investigation from the police pay for her services out of my own pocket and my manager also made me write a formal apology to her gave a homeless dude an extra sandwich I got something on a two-for-one type deal and he bitched that I didn't give him money and threw the sandwich all over whatever freak that dude similar story gave a homeless person around one pound in change he looked at it then to me then said more I told him to freak off and walked away another time bought a guy a newspaper cannot drop Snickers and a Cornish pasty this guy almost went crazy with excitement even started talking to his dog whilst going through the stuff saying look what the nice man bought us when I was a kid my mother and I spotted a lost dog running through the streets we immediately stopped and got her into our car taking her to her house in order to call the number on a tag the owner showed up eight hours later with a box of cookies as a thank-you to us upon my mother opening the door and seeing my then overweight mom the woman's face fell and she immediately said well clearly you won't be needing these she then tucked the box into her purse and grabbed her dog no thank you was ever said your mom should have said yeah you're right I'm so full from eating your dog and shut the door in her face this clueless guy on a cell phone went to step off the crowded sidewalk to cross the street not noticing the massive double-decker bus headed our way I grabbed his backpack he was wearing and pulled him back just as the bus came flying by basically saving the dude's life everyone around me gasped screamed it says the crosswalk started flashing green for pedestrians he just went on his way and crossed without ever looking at me or thanking me just continued his convo on the phone raped and blew the leaves off a friend's yard because they were starting to blow onto her neighbors recently cleaned and mowed immaculate she heard it said neighbor came out and screamed at me that she had just gotten her yard worked on and I had better not mess it up I explained that I was doing a good deed for a friend that was mostly a benefit to her the neighbor but all I got was I don't give a dang for a reply two years later said neighbours husband gets cancer and loses his income and they fall into financial trouble and have to lay off their lawn service and their lawn goes to crap I took the opportunity to again do the right thing and started to maintain their yard and continue to this day for free the gratitude on this lady's face when I see her is priceless we never bring up what she did to me but I know she remembers I can still hear my late mother saying kill em with kindness Chris kill em with kindness upvoted for being the epitome of human kindness I was waiting in line to do a return at a department store a little boy probably about three or four years old stood a bit away from the registers crying and calling for his mommy I looked around trying to spot mommy but didn't see any adults paying attention to him after about five minutes of this I went and asked him hey honey are you okay let's see if a checkout lady can call your mom i gestured for him to follow me didn't touch the kid the cashier paged the mum who came almost immediately and was thankful after the mom left with the boy the cashier and the to customers and front of me in line chatted about how worried they were that I might have been kidnapping him I was standing right behind them yeah they said nothing to you fixed a customer's transmission for free because they had no cash new kid etc it broke a month outside of the 12 month warranty and we fixed it for free again their response was to leave horrible ratings for our business all over the web lat are still up today accused of attempted child abduction for grabbing a kid who was about to fall off a curb in front of a bus let me guess you're now double points if you're black when I was in Cub Scouts I offered to sell raffle tickets around my neighborhood to raise money for charity I knocked on a neighbor's door and she lectured me on how gambling was immoral even her husband got involved I was eight at the time ever fix someone's computer for them every problem that computer has for the rest of its life is your fault now so true this didn't happen to me but many years ago my eldest sister was exiting a supermarket when an elderly disabled woman in a wheelchair came rolling in through the exit gate trying to be considerate for this obviously impaired woman my sister opened the gate for her so she could roll on him the woman looked at my sister and said I don't need help from no Jap my sister said she just walked straight to her car and started crying oh yeah she's not even Japanese it happens I once held a door open for a homeless woman at a 7-eleven and she told me to go back to North I'm Native American my cousin told her to go back to the trash can she lived in interesting thing about some Chinese people I recently noticed twice in the past couple of weeks here in China I've been walking past someone on the street when they've dropped something on the ground one girl dropped her phone another guy dropped his lighter each time I bent down to pick it up for them they freak the freak out thinking I'm taking their crap the guy starting yelling mind mine in Chinese of course while the girl violently grabbed the phone out of my hand I guess Chinese people just don't help other people pick up their crap my good deed was nothing extreme but here goes I was in the cafe of my college about to get some hot water in my thermos when I noticed someone standing behind me now since I had previously had hot chocolate in my mug I needed to rinse it out I felt like this other person should go before me since she was merely getting hot water I say you can go first I need to rinse my mug out she looks at me and credulous Li what did you say me euhh you can go first I have to rinse my mug out her in an exceedingly pissy manner oh that's not what I thought you said you should be careful what you say what in the frig I also found out later that this woman is a department head like the school I attend and batshit-crazy been great if you would have said and you should be careful what you think it didn't happen to me but a friend of mine he was walking down the street when the lady in front of him dropped her wallet unknowingly he picked it up ran to catch up with her and said mom you dropped your wallet back there she looked at him and asked did you take anything out of it my friend who was still holding the wallet flung it to the other side of the street and kept walking thankfully there are laws in Canada that prevent any sort of legal recourse from this if I absolutely hated when people and their families who have just benefited from the help of a first responder paramedic security guard et Cie complain about the service they've just received and threatened to sue I chillie witnessed a rescue where a woman was pulled feet first out of a raging river the first thing she said when they pulled her to the shore you almost broke my leg idiot I wanted to frickin tear her head off yet some states have Good Samaritan laws makes me sad for us as a species that such things are necessary I was bartending a private event and found a purse at someone had left on the bar so I tucked it away behind the register towards the end I heard a lady complaining about it being stolen and how there was a lot of cash and valuables in it I then returned it she was lying about the cash she tried to write me a check for a reward which I declined asking only that she some day pay the good deed forward the next day she went on Yelp and wrote this huge review claiming that the bartender attempted to steal her purse and the only reason she got it back was because of how vocal she was about it and that I got scared Danielle I never believed half the reviews on there I once held the door open for a man with one leg at a rallies and I went here you go sir his response in this deep menacing voice call me Satan I was waiting at a bus stop and this sweet looking little old lady was having trouble getting down the curb to cross the road so I helped her cross the road I wish are a pleasant day to which she replies freaking foreigners get out of my country thanks you should have picked her up and put her back on the other side of the street I was walking with my to a group though Montmartre when I noticed that Toby was flying around and then landed in the hair off a woman in front of me I calmly tapped her shoulder and said mom there is a bee in your hair she looked at me with a blank stare and shook her head language barrier so I thought for a second and then circled my hand around my head while making the B Zed Zed Zed Zed Zed Zed sound she immediately started panicking yelling and swatting her head needless to say the bee stung her and then she looked at me like I had planted it there just to freak with her looking back I probably shouldn't have said anything but I was just trying to be helpful don't lie man you planted that bee I was walking to class when passing through a doorway I noticed someone behind me and decided to hold the door open wide suddenly a girl walked through and started off on a crazy tirade about in the assuming she couldn't open the door herself because she was a girl it was right around when she said men like you disgust me when the guide the electric wheelchair that I was actually holding the door for made his way through and said hey thanks man the look on her face after her sudden realization of the situation sticks with me to this very day this is very refreshing thanks to the polite wheelchair man I used to work for a company that set up tents for weddings this Brita Zilla made us move the tent we already had set up since the customer always gets their way we did she promised she'd buy us pizza and beer for staying longer to make her happy we all agreed almost five hours later we finished with no pizza or beer we went up to her to get the contracts signed and she said I forgot I promised you refreshments here you go she bent down and gave us the garden hose I had just gotten off work and was headed to a local tavern before class at an intersection I noticed a 40-ish year-old black woman in a nurse's uniform pushing her car through the intersection in the middle of downtown and start heading up a hill I thought for a brief moment and did an illegal u-turn in the middle of the road to come back and assist her in pushing it partway up the hill and into a parking loss that was about 75 feet away I'm an electrical engineer and I was wearing my work clothes which consists of a button-up shirt with geek paraphernalia in the left pocket driving my 2011 black Camaro I'm six feet tall about 225 pounds and have a very deep voice I pulled up behind her and turned on my flashers for safety and got out of my car the look on her face was a lot of fear I in the most calm voice I have mentioned that she was pushing her car up a hill and I was more than happy to assist her in getting it to the parking lot she was shaking like a leaf and through her shaky voice she mentioned that her husband was on his way but several times I could see that I was terrifying this lady for some unknown reason so I apologized and wished her a good day hopped in my car and headed to the tavern I'm still at a loss to this day as to what the heck had happened stranger danger was on a railroad platform at Thailand and this kid around three years old wandering around all by herself and was getting relatively close to edge off platform while a train was about to enter the platform as a matter of split-second decision-making I ran up and grabbed the kid's hand and started dragging her back and while I was doing this some lady starts to scream out of nowhere pointing at me she was quickly followed by a mobile people point and yelling at me and Thai needless to say I had to run my butt out of there I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to explain the situation to those people in English happens to me when I hand out free candies at the playground maybe not a good deed because it was my job by I saved this little kid one time at the pool I worked at the water was only four feet deep that he obviously couldn't touch the bottom or swim well at all anyway I hopped in and grabbed him said the lifeguard lines like hey I got you blood you okay we're gonna go to the side now poor kid was crying like crazy my manager came over and was like great job max then his mom came over and just basically was like he's okay all right come on and walked away not even a thank you to me or the manager for saving her son similar thing happened to me once some kid jumped off the 3-meter board right onto his friend's leg who then goes vertical and underwater naturally I don't wait around and I get in the water do the safe get the kid to the edge and he starts yelling at me for saving him pretty sure he was just embarrassed as he was like 14 just a weird situation really I was visiting New Orleans and was taking a walk around the French Quarter at around 5 a.m. I hear someone yelling at me hey big man big man big man wait I turned to see this old homeless guy with a bail cap on wobbling towards we with haste I'm more curious than nervous as I'm 6 feet 7 inches and this guy was all of 5 feet 3 inches he says mind helping me out with something he looks kind of desperate but friendly I say that I'll help him and ask what he needs I'm a bit nervous now because I have no clue what he's going to ask my help with he whips out a bottle of gin and says that he can't get the lid off I open his gin and he thanks me profusely saying that his day is now going to be much better outside a gas station in Mississippi a guy asked me for 12 cents I fished out a quarter then he said I only need 12 cents then he walked away without taking the quarter I tried to give a homeless woman on the subway some bagels she was begging people for money for food w hen I tried to give them to her she yelled in my face I want KFC they were raisin bagels should have one upped her somehow usually when people yell loudly ad me for something stupid or I feel like they're going notes I just start going under a little low octave and get higher and higher if they don't stop sometimes this works helped an ex-coworker put food on his family's table by establishing a small online business bringing in about three thousand five hundred dollars in profit per month with 50 stroke fifty you kicked me out and quit out day job so he can sit home and keep all the money for himself but he even intimidated my employer and attempted to sue me after I tried getting my part of the money right now he's sitting home reaping money from what was mostly my work while I'm still stuck at the day job we were trying to escape together the same day job that he quit after I established us sigh last time I reach out to help someone with a substance abuse problem never again sounds like that business will collapse soon too bad about your missed share : still if it was mostly your work you can start a similar business again he can't I was in a part of the Bronx that as well ghetto I'm inspecting a building when all of a sudden out of the townhouse comes this little girl no older than two she starts walking straight for the street I freaked out I go grab her and go back to the townhouse to hand her over to her mother after telling mom the story she just says okay I'm like a man your two-year-old was walking straight for the street I don't think you get what that means he says well WTF you won den a medal go freak yourself needless to say child services were called I hate it when people say ok in place of thanks it's even one syllable less if they said nothing at all I'd feel better than a que I'm driving to work on a snowy morning making sure to be very careful as conditions are bad time at a traffic light and when it turns green I begin to go a middle-aged man suddenly comes literally sprinting down the sidewalk and bursts into the road in front of my car I slam on the brakes tires squeal unfortunately I stop in plenty of time as he's still a few feet from the hood of my car he's a bit stunned I guess and just stands there in the road as we stare at each of a for a second and then his face twists up and he gives me the middle finger straight to my face for a good solid two or three seconds than these storms off I was too flabbergasted to even process it at the time man jumps into traffic I avoid hitting him and he flips me off to this day I don't know what to make of it TLDR man gives me the finger after he jumps into traffic and I do not hit him I can only conclude that he was trying to die I help the lady carry her stroller up the stairs leading out of the subway her you Mormon me know her good ain't no Mormon Lane them filthy polygamist hands on my baby I saw an old homeless guy walking in the middle of winter with paper towels taped around his feet I had just bought a new pair of workboats carpet installer at the time and I got out of my truck and offered the guy my old but still perfectly serviceable and far better than tape and pepper towels boots he punched me in the face and was winding up for another one when I turned and scrambled back into my van the whole time he was swearing and screaming as if I happy on his daughter or something I bought a house about a year ago my neighbor is an elderly single woman who seemed nice enough at first I gave her a Christmas present would shovel her walk when it snowed etc last spring I planted some new grass in the front of my home because of the grass I had was mostly ugly weeds I even planted some new seed in our tiny shared plot of grass I live in a townhome since I knew she was old and probably didn't feel much like gardening one day when watering the new grass she started screaming out of the blue water is getting on my grass and that a drop of water may hit my foot and don't get any drops of water on my concrete think of it like we live 500 yards away from each other since then she has been an absolute horror cutting down my tomatoes that were growing on her side of the fence that I earlier said she could have when they matured screaming at my boyfriend when he attempted to mow the entirety of our shared piece of grass because it looks weird as heck one only half of 8 square feet is mowed she even went so far as to pull weeds from her lawn and place them on top of her half of the grass so we couldn't touch it with the mower it makes no goddamn sense evil Crone as some of you of the Midwest may know last winter Missouri experienced one of the most treacherous winters that we've ever faced in decades the University of Missouri Columbia had closed school for the first time in about 40 years due to such harsh weather conditions one day my friends and I were semi stranded out at his place off campus which is at the bottom of a slightly slanted cul-de-sac and we noticed his neighbor's having trouble with their car we decide to be good neighbors and try to help them by pushing their cars up so as we run out to help them we shout a little seems like you guys could use some help flash a smile and proceeded to help them without their permission because who needs permission when you appear to be in genuine need of help yet this B decides to bark back at us and say we don't need your help go away we then decided to just stand there and watch these people struggle getting up the road back when I was 8 or 9 me and my family went to a shopping mall in Saudi Arabia since it was shopping season all the shopping carts were taken luckily or unluckily we parked close to this older man struggling to get his groceries in the back of his Jeep I decided to help him out with the groceries and take the cart from him win-win right wrong as I approached him and offer to help him that cranky old coot freaked out and raised his walking stick at me telling me to go away I raised my hands up in defence and backed away slowly heading into work one day there was dude in front of me on a big new Honda Goldwing he seemed a little unsteady on it it just so happened that he was going the direction I was just he was in front at one point he decided the person in front of him was going too slow so he zooms around them and takes off around the next big bend in the road and see busted pieces of plastic all over and this dude way out in the ditch with his bike on top of him off so traffic is backed up and nobody is helping the dude I pull over and run up to him and his radio is blasting gospel music he's an older dude a little out of shape nose obviously broken and lips all fricked up and he just screams at me turn off the freaking radio good damage so I try and figure out how the radio works but it's not turning off so after five seconds he screams just leave IT alone useless em at that point another woman runs up and says she's a nurse intese esby do I look like I need a nurse hell pair me up and she looks at me and we both give each other a Frick this gun shrug and go back to our cars fire and EMT was showing up right as we were leaving let the people that get paid for that crap deal with buttholes like that I had a girl at a bar give me her drink to hold while she went to the bathroom when she got back I went to hand it back to her and she said you'll take a sip first I finished the entire drink and walked away freaking boss buying cigarettes at a gas station the cashier noticed the organ donor emblem on my license he said organ donor you're dumb they do terrible things to your body when you die and what if they give your organs to a drunk driver who just killed people he was 100% serious but I didn't respond it took me a good hour to process the whole statement kourt's a child after he jumped from a really high jungle gym mother told me she was gonna call the cops on me I had a teacher once who hated me for no reason I tried many ways to get on his good side with no avail one day I decided to make some brownies and bring them in for the class everyone was happy except for the teacher he pulled me outside the class and told me it was irresponsible to bring in brownies during Lent when some people might have given them up I gave up trying to make him like me that day and decided that screwing with him would be my new goal that was a fun year and another fun year when I had him again the next year I stopped a drunken woman from committing suicide by jumping off a bridge all my friend could say was she's probably worse off now that you've helped her continue her unhappy life pee on my bonfire somewhat when I was a grossly underpaid public defender I once represented a guy that was accused of participating in the organization that stole millions of dollars of frozen seafood from a distribution warehouse there was no question off his part in the scheme as he had already given a statement and the other five defendants had already all cleared were turning state's evidence against him I spent almost a year of very late nights reading over thousands of inventory documents doing my own investigation conducting depositions and filing motions before I finally was able to file a motion to suppress based on evidence I had found after I won the motion the state no longer had any evidence and had no choice but to dismiss the case when I proudly told the client what I had been able to accomplish he looked at me rolled his eyes and said took you long enough he turned his back on me and walked away I immediately quit my job so I could start charging those suckers out the nurse for the work I was doing for them but you have been spotted by the money pigeon comment gimme gimme and he will bless you with good for to LIKE and subscribe you magnificent person
