\nWe\u2019re sure most people would agree that the world is a better place when we are kind to each other. Unfortunately for these people, their good deed for the day backfired, and they were left wondering why they would ever be nice to somebody again.
\n[post_page_title]You\u2019re a disruption[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen this person was in the sixth grade they tried to do something helpful for their teacher. The person offered to help their teacher with a projector for the class, but was accused of disrupting the lesson and disobeying the rules.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130935\/ggxr2BQ.jpg\")
\nFor their efforts to help their teacher, this young student was sent to the principal\u2019s office. Perhaps their teacher mistook their student\u2019s offer of help for them just trying to get in their good books and have an easy ride.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Some actual backfire[\/post_page_title]
\nA bird got stuck in a fence, and being a kind-hearted human being, this person wanted to help it out. The little bird had gotten its head stuck between a couple of fence panels, and if it was left there much longer, things weren\u2019t going to turn out alright.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130937\/tFdBEYz.jpg\")
\nThat\u2019s when the person decided it was time they stepped in. They grabbed the little bird and managed to free it from its wooden prison, but it came at a cost. The bird was so distressed it defecated on its savior.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Surprise party[\/post_page_title]
\nThis person\u2019s roommate said they didn\u2019t want a party for their birthday, but they got a relatively small surprise one anyway. After the big reveal, the birthday girl went up to her room, snuck out of the window, and left the house to go somewhere else.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130938\/XMe4yYS.jpg\")
\nClearly she didn\u2019t want the party, so her friends decided to move the party elsewhere and left the house. Now when their friend came back, it would be to an empty house.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Time to jump on a plane[\/post_page_title]
\nFlying to and from places can be a hassle at the best of times, but this person had instant regrets for trying to help someone. They attempted to wake a sleeping woman because she was going to miss her flight, but couldn\u2019t.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130939\/UaSmJMU.jpg\")
\nIt then became clear that the woman had been drinking as even the airport staff couldn\u2019t get her to wake up. This meant a three-hour delay to the flight because the woman was passed out and unresponsive.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Looking out for their coworker[\/post_page_title]
\nOn a really hot day, this person texted their friend, who was also a supervisor at their job, if they still had someone working outside. They just wanted to remind their friend that they might have left someone working outside in 100-degree weather.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130941\/hJuzkLq.jpg\")
\nFor trying to look out for any colleague potentially suffering from heat exhaustion, this person was welcomed to work the following day with a warning. They were on a 30-day evaluation for insubordination, so immediately handed in their notice.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Tugging at their heartstrings[\/post_page_title]
\nA veterinarian was working in the ER when a lady came in with an injured puppy. She claimed the dog had been attacked, and because she was in such a panic, she only left the house with one credit card.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130942\/FATsoFJ.jpg\")
\nThat meant the woman only had half of the surgery money, but the vet thought the story seemed legit, so did the operation. The woman was meant to come back the following day to pay the rest of the money, but they are still waiting for it many years later.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Stranded vehicle[\/post_page_title]
\nBeing stranded in your car is horrible, and this helpful person wanted to help someone out in that sticky situation. They offered to push this person\u2019s car, but the owner was insistent that their helper steer, while he pushed the car.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130944\/X0JbB74.jpg\")
\nThe helpful person didn’t know how to drive stick and told this to the car owner, who didn\u2019t change his mind. Instead of hitting the brake at the right time, the helper hit the gear pedal, making the car crash, which resulted in a sarcastic \u201cthanks\u201d from the owner.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Happy Thanksgiving[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen this person returned to their apartment on Thanksgiving, they noticed that someone had parked in their designated spot. They didn\u2019t want someone to get towed on Thanksgiving, so just parked in the management spot as they weren\u2019t working.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130945\/aQAOAzv.jpg\")
\nJust one hour later, they noticed they had gotten a ticket and had to go all the way to the police station to file a report. Then it was a trip to the impound to get their car back, while the other vehicle was still in their spot.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Saving someone\u2019s life[\/post_page_title]
\nIn the seventh grade, this person gave the Heimlich maneuver to a girl who was choking. It seemed that nobody else knew what to do, so this person sprang into action as they knew the procedure. After saving the girl\u2019s life, they were later accused of assaulting her and suspended for five days.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130947\/Jtlp0kz.jpg\")
\nHer parents even tried to sue the young guy, but thankfully for him, the legal proceedings didn\u2019t go anywhere. Hopefully, it doesn\u2019t make this person think twice about saving someone else in the same situation.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Doing laundry[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen this person was seven years old, they decided to do some laundry just like the rest of their family does. They put it on the floor to sort it out, like everyone else in their family, only to be told off when their parents came home.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130948\/cyc7w9z.jpg\")
\nInstead of thanking their young child for being helpful, these parents told their kid off for putting clothes on the floor. We\u2019re assuming that has led to a lifetime of not doing laundry for this person after their family was so against it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Dating advice[\/post_page_title]
\nBest friends are meant to have your back no matter what. This person\u2019s bestie asked for some dating advice because there was a girl he really liked. Their friend gave them some tips and the guy went to speak with the girl.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130949\/f703sIM.jpg\")
\nAfter that he never came back to say thanks, and it turned out they were now dating. The guy\u2019s best friend explained, after seven months of no contact, that the girl really hated his best friend, and he chose her over him.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Someone in need[\/post_page_title]
\nThis person\u2019s friend was walking home late at night when they noticed someone who appeared to be in pain lying on the ground. Being the nice person that they were, they went over to the guy to check if he was okay.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130951\/r9NNYJt.jpg\")
\nWhat they found was that he was playing possum, and it was a trap for a bunch of other people to jump out and rob them. He was lured into a vulnerable position, beaten up, and had all his money stolen.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Who needs kneecaps?[\/post_page_title]
\nAt a parking lot, this person noticed someone had left their car door open. They went across to close the door, to make sure the person didn\u2019t get robbed. As they almost completely pushed the door closed, they suddenly realized that the person hadn\u2019t left their car unattended at all.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130952\/1MjA0F5.jpg\")
\nTheir legs were sticking out and now slightly crushed as they looked at the \u2018helpful\u2019 stranger like they were some sort of carjacker. We can understand why this person tried to help out, but it definitely backfired on them.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Plucking up the courage[\/post_page_title]
\nThis socially awkward person noticed a woman in distress at their bus stop. It took them a long time to finally pluck up the courage to speak up and ask the woman if everything was okay. They put on their softest voice and made sure to ask in a non-threatening way.
\n
![](\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/s10L7Cd2pvvwI\/giphy.gif\")
\nUnfortunately for the shy person, the woman began to scream at them and told them to stop bothering her. All of that courage was gone in an instant when this nice deed backfired.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Why do you care so much?[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen this person rolled up to a gas station, they noticed a cyclist lying on the ground unconscious. They ran into the gas station to get them to call for an ambulance, while a crowd had gathered and stood watching the unfortunate cyclist outside.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130955\/sbIod8w.jpg\")
\nAfter calling the emergency services, one of the women in the crowd accused this person doing a good deed of being the person who hit the cyclist. They wanted to know why this person cared so much if they weren\u2019t the driver who hit the cyclist.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Not getting away so easily[\/post_page_title]
\nAt college, this person\u2019s friends had to catch and then dissect some mice for their class. With more mice caught than needed for the class, one lucky mouse was revived, given some water and love, before being set free.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130956\/FTgRG89.jpg\")
\nThe college students brought the mouse out to a grassy area and released him. Not 30 seconds later, a bird swooped down and took that mouse for an easy dinner thanks to the students trying to do a nice thing.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Smiling at a stranger[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile doing some shopping, this person noticed a stranger and innocently smiled at the guy. Instead of that being the end of their interaction, the guy followed this shopper around the corner after looking at them weirdly.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130957\/OZ3s4cC.jpg\")
\nThey thought he might have been trying to figure out who they were, but didn\u2019t want to take any chances and hang around to find out. Even just smiling at a stranger and showing some basic human kindness can backfire if you smile at the wrong person it seems.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A friend in need[\/post_page_title]
\nLots of people would help their friends out in a time of need. This person\u2019s friend was having a hard time and would borrow money from them because they had a good job.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10130959\/wC8L93c.jpg\")
\nThey would meet their friend in the parking lot of their work to hand over the money, which got a lot of strange looks. Eventually, this person lost their job, ran out of money, and had to crash at their friend\u2019s house, who they had previously been lending money to.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Running off the road[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile at home, this woman heard a vehicle run off the road just outside her house. Her husband followed her outside, and together with the driver, they got the truck back on the road, but it\u2019s at that moment they realized something.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131000\/VlwyVzm.jpg\")
\nThey can strongly smell drink on the man\u2019s breath, and they just realized they\u2019ve helped out the wrong person. The couple tells the man to wait, and they’ll call him a cab, but he drives off, so they had no choice but to call the police.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Sisterly love[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen this woman\u2019s sister was going traveling to Korea, she was bought a GoPro and a new laptop by her sibling. Not only that, but the woman also gave her sister a ride to the airport and lent her money when she ran out in Korea.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131001\/zYF2fdN.jpg\")
\nThen, when the sister returned from her travels, she decided to spark a nasty rumor about her helpful sibling. The woman hadn\u2019t done anything wrong, and the only thanks she got for helping her sister out seemed to be one big headache.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Sticking up for his girlfriend[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile enjoying himself at a bar with his girlfriend, a guy came up to the couple and started saying inappropriate things to the woman. The boyfriend tried to diffuse the situation by walking away, but the other guy wanted a fight.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131003\/K5oYA7I.jpg\")
\nAfter dodging two punches, the boyfriend threw one of his own, which ended the fight. A little later in the evening, the loser of the fight sent his friends in, and they beat up the guy who was just defending himself and his girlfriend.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Touching a nerve[\/post_page_title]
\nMany people when riding the bus are happy to get up from their seats and offer it to an elderly person. While this person did just that during their bus journey, they didn\u2019t get the reaction they were hoping for.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131005\/hufO2y0.jpg\")
\nInstead of being grateful, the elderly person got upset at the thought of being offered someone\u2019s seat. It seemed they took offense to being perceived as weak or frail and needing someone to give up their seat for them.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Helping the homeless[\/post_page_title]
\nA one-eyed homeless guy walked up to this person and asked if they had any money they could spare. The person was in a generous mood and handed the guy five dollars. That\u2019s when the homeless guy went bragging to his homeless buddies that he had just been given five dollars.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131006\/0xycR83.jpg\")
\nNow lots more were coming out of the woodwork looking for their own handout. The generous person refused, so the homeless people turned on the one-eyed guy and took his five dollars instead.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Work friend no more[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter making friends with a guy at work, this person noticed something was going on between him and a female colleague. The problem was, the guy was married, though he was in the middle of a difficult divorce.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131007\/Np9R3N6.jpg\")
\nAs people began to talk, this person just sent a friendly message to their buddy to tell them to be careful. That didn\u2019t go down well as the guy showed it to the girl he was dating, and she made sure he no longer spoke to his work buddy again.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Pillow fight[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen staying at a boarding school, this person noticed one of the bunk beds didn\u2019t have a pillow. As they were using two at the time, they thought it would be a nice thing to put their spare one on this pillow-less bunk.
\n
![](\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/IpOLcy6Cy82qc\/giphy.gif\")
\nAt the exact moment they were putting the pillow on the bed, the owner of the bed came into the room. They accused this person of trying to steal their pillow and kicked them so hard they fell on the floor.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Too much to drink[\/post_page_title]
\nThis guy helped out a girl who had been drinking too much by holding her hair while she was sick, then putting her on a couch and covering her in a blanket. He slept in the same room, but on a different couch, while his friends crashed on an air mattress, also in the room.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131009\/gX3KW3K.jpg\")
\nLater it turned out the girl had a boyfriend, and she made up a story that this guy had tried to assault her. All he did was make sure she got to sleep okay.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Angry rage[\/post_page_title]
\nA nurse just got to the hospital where they worked and noticed a woman lying on the floor, clearly in some distress. The nurse went over to the woman and asked if she was okay, but this was seemingly a bad thing to do.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131010\/Ufoy6xJ.jpg\")
\nThe woman asked, \u2018Did she just ask me if I\u2019m okay?\u201d and then decided it was time to throw punches at the nurse. None of them connected, and it turned out the woman had just been told she had lost a relative.
\n
\n[post_page_title]What friends are for[\/post_page_title]
\nYou have to be careful how much of your secrets you share with your friends. When this person let their ex-friend know who their crush was, things took a turn for the worse when they introduced the two of them.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/11131450\/man-cry.jpg\")
\nTheir former friend let this person\u2019s crush know just how awful they were, dashing their chances of ever having a relationship with the object of their desires. We\u2019re assuming this is also the reason why their friend is now a former pal and not still a part of their life.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Help with the groceries[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter noticing something fall out of a woman\u2019s cart in the parking lot of a grocery store, this person went over to offer their help. The woman let this person help her put the bulky stuff in the trunk of her car before things turned nasty.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131012\/UtHzVFi.jpg\")
\nIt seemed something spooked the woman, and she pepper-sprayed her helper. Not only did she spray the person, but she almost ran them over as she tried to flee the parking lot.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Meeting his dream girl[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile heading to the computer lab at their college campus, this student managed to catch a girl as she fell off her bike. It was a heroic moment, and they exchanged numbers. Shortly after they began dating, but things would end in heartbreak as the girl cheated on the guy.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131013\/92225F4.jpg\")
\nHe had done a nice thing in saving her, and while it led to a brief romance, it mostly just led to heartbreak and regret about their chance meeting.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Stooping low[\/post_page_title]
\nThis person had saved money since they were a kid and kept it in a box under their bed. When they were 18, they worked at a video store and discovered one of their colleagues had stomach cancer, but no insurance.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131015\/QNznUcu.jpg\")
\nAs the money was just sitting there, the guy offered to lend his coworker $3,000 on the basis that he would pay him back. A few weeks later, the guy with \u2018cancer\u2019 is being arrested after he was caught stealing to feed his narcotics addiction. He never had cancer.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Keep your food[\/post_page_title]
\nA high school student was walking into Subway when they noticed a homeless person outside. They decided to order their own food, and something extra for the homeless person; a tea and a sandwich.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131016\/vtzbdjT.jpg\")
\nWhen they went to give the food to the homeless person, they got angry and claimed they didn\u2019t need it, even throwing it on the ground. Then, as the high schooler was pulling away in their car, they noticed the homeless person pick up the food and eat it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Whoops, I\u2019ll just go back[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen leaving their local deli, this person accidentally walked out without paying for their soda. They walked straight back in to pay for the drink to make sure they didn\u2019t just steal something from someone.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131017\/RzZ2Cpk.jpg\")
\nThey were only in the deli for about two minutes, but that short space of time was all it took for someone to come along and steal their bike. So for the price of a soda, this person lost their bike worth hundreds of dollars.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Helping the helpless[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter spotting a guy passed out after a long drinking session, this person called for an ambulance to come and help him out. While on the phone with the emergency services, the guy awoke from whatever slumber he was in and began chasing the person who was trying to help him.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131019\/NPkI2j8.jpg\")
\nNot only did that guy wake up and start chasing the concerned bystander, but a homeless guy decided to join the hunt and started chasing too. Luckily they lived to tell the tale.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Holding the door[\/post_page_title]
\nWe\u2019ve all been there once or twice before, when you hold the door open for someone and they don\u2019t even thank you for it. This person opened the door for one of their friends but accidentally found themselves a new job.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131020\/3EUCwAs.jpg\")
\nNot only did their friend head on through the door, but their entire class decided to leave at the same time, and they were stuck holding it open. This person was at least grateful that their classmates were kind enough to thank them for holding the door.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Wrong place, wrong time[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen this person was walking with some friends to a nightclub, they witnessed a woman being beaten up by her partner. They called the cops and broke up the fight, while the abusive partner took off.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131022\/OOCWWg7.jpg\")
\nWhen the police arrived, the woman claimed the group of friends who had actually helped her were the ones to attack her. It meant the friends were all put in handcuffs, and their nights were ruined all because they tried to prevent someone from being beaten up.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Why can\u2019t you help me?[\/post_page_title]
\nDuring the festive Christmas period, this guy is used to having elderly ladies come up to him and ask him to reach stuff for them in the supermarket. He doesn\u2019t mind doing it, but one Christmas things changed.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131023\/4TQBP3u.jpg\")
\nThe guy was shopping at Walmart for stuff his partner was looking for when a little old lady asked him where something was in the store. He replied saying he didn\u2019t know, and the woman just screamed \u201cHow don\u2019t you know\u201d at him, not realizing he didn\u2019t actually work there.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Trying to fix a tire[\/post_page_title]
\nThis person had just gotten out of middle school when they heard a tire hissing at the bike rack. They tried their best to fix the tire, even though it wasn\u2019t their own, but couldn\u2019t.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131025\/RG29CFi.jpg\")
\nJust a couple of days later, the person then noticed that their own tire was now flat. They thought that someone must have seen them touching someone else\u2019s tires, assumed they let the air out, and wanted to get their own back.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Water damage[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter their friend was kicked out of their house, this person begrudgingly let their pal stay at theirs. Not long after the guy moved in, the person had to go out of town, so it was great to have someone to watch the house.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131026\/gaeIA19.jpg\")
\nAfter just a few days, the guy\u2019s landlord calls saying there is a leak in the shower, which flooded downstairs, causing over $2,000 worth of damage. To make things worse, the guy\u2019s friend denied any involvement and refused to help with the repair bill.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Quality time together[\/post_page_title]
\nThis mom was accused by her son of spending more time with his sister than him. Aware that she could spend a bit more time with her son, this mom pulled her kid out of school one day so they could pick pumpkins together.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/10131027\/Bl4mV7C.jpg\")
\nInstead of having a happy son who got out of school early, this mom was met with a tearful child. Seemingly he was so angry he cried and told his mom that she is a \u201cterrible mother.\u201d
