Yesterday and I haven't gone out today.
I recently helped one of my colleagues realize that he's a complete imbecile. Does that actually count?
About 5 minutes ago..Spotted another semi backing out of his spot...Made sure no one or him hit anyone.
Depends on what you mean by helping. I help people understand subjects daily, I look after several websites and help people there out with account problems and the like daily, I help out a selection of animal rescues with fund raising, home checking and awareness raising, if there's anybody around me who needs something that I can provide I do (including buying food and drink for homeless people, running a selection of donation drives for assorted local charities to help people who are less well off and donating with each online purchase through donation sites) and I sew, knit and crochet for lots of charities and good causes too.
The most recent thing was probably yesterday, standing in for my sister who was busy, enabling my nephew to get to his football training session.
Couple of weeks ago, elderly lady couldn't start her car. I came out of the store and she called for me. Turns out it was in 'neutral'. We both had a bit of a laugh.
About a week ago I was at the gas station and this woman was short on cash so I helped her out.
Last Friday, her bus broke down so I loaded her kids onto my bus and took them home.
Yesterday I held the door for an woman with a cane.
I gave an art class all the materials they needed to do their learning: brushes, paints, inks, pencils, chalk, art papers, etc. No I did not pose for them. lol
I helped my kids with their homework last night.
I just sent a coworker an SQL query. After hours too..
Pretty much every day. When I shop for the groceries for the day's dinner, the elderly of the neighborhood are often shopping. Nearly always I will help one with lifting, reaching, or finding their groceries. Such a small thing to make their day easier.
One chooses how they want to live their life. You can treat everyone as your friend or as their enemy. Either way, you find out it is true.
I choose to be kind and tolerant.
Here on Lush, yesterday. I help writers get their rejected stories past the mods, and proofread for good writers who want me to catch their mistakes before submission. Being a perfectionist has its uses.
It's been too long, actually. I will think of something.
For a complete stranger? I'm always holding doors, giving directions, countless people trying to get luggage into overhead bins on planes or off the belt. I carried the bag of a lady I sat next to on a flight from the plane to the carousel. I once helped a girl fill her car with fuel as she had just got a new car and 1, couldn't find the opener for the cap, and 2, had never filled a car with fuel as her dad always did it. I'm constantly helping friends and family with whatever it is they need. One day, I'm going to need their help.
Yesterday. Helped a man move out of a apartment building where a drug dealer had been killed two weeks ago.
At lunch today, there was a table of Reservists having lunch....I had their waiter bring me their bill and I bought their lunch.
I helped an old lady climb several flights of stairs, and then took her car to a garage, to rotate the tires.
About a week ago! There was an older lady in line behind me and I paid for her groceries! She only had 4 items...
Helping other people shouldn't be something that requires a mental exclamation mark--it should be something that forms the sentences that write your life.

Every day in my full time job... its largely why I enjoy it.
As others have said I try to help someone somehow every day if I can.
A week ago I drove to the house an unfamiliar elderly woman from a supermarket. She helped her to bring the products home. Her grandson did not wait for her, as she said. What are the stale children!
