A lot of the time unexpected gestures are the greatest.
None of us are necessarily owed anything by the world, so when it does pay you back in a surprising way, it's a huge but welcomed shock.
This woman found out about the anonymity kindness sometimes has after she settled down to relax and watch a film.

Having rented a DVD from Redbox, she opened the case to find a note and $100.
The note reads: "Hello!
"My name is Marcos. Every month I take $100 that I'd normally spend on myself and give it away to a stranger.

"This month I decided to change it up and put it in a Redbox DVD. You are the first giveaway of 2017!
"I just ask that you put the money to good use; if you don't need it, give it away.
"If you do need it, keep it."
It's certainly the last thing you'd expect when renting a film, and definitely not anything that would have happened at your bog standard BlockBusters (RIP).

If you believe in karma, then Marcos is most probably basking in a lot of good feelings right now.
This lad, who also did his bit for a stranger, learned about good karma. Back in October he bought a cup of coffee for a homeless man and was rewarded with a job.
Twenty-year-old student Luke Jay Mumford had noticed that there was a lot of homeless people in his university city of Canterbury. As temperatures started to drop, the kind-hearted lad began buying a hot drink for one person every morning on the way to university.
After he'd given out his usual hot drink, he was approached by a bloke called Carey who owns the Historic Boat tours in Canterbury.
Speaking to TheLADbible, Luke said: "When Carey approached me, I wasn't sure what his intentions were. So, to begin with, I was somewhat concerned. But then he shook my hand and thanked me for the kind gesture. We discussed it a little longer and he then went on to offer me a position in his company.

"At the time I was somewhat embarrassed and dismissed the praise as I'm a firm believer that random acts of kindness shouldn't be done for the praise, rather the knowledge that you've helped someone and I still feel that way.
He explained: "Whilst it was a very kind gesture I won't be accepting the job opportunity as I am currently progressing in my career at Sainsbury's. However, we did start discussing possible graphic design work experience as part of my course - which I am excited to begin."
It's nice to be nice.
