Try a random act of kindness

The Team from Auckland Humanity Project

This year we've heard from nearly 200 Aucklanders about our humanity... For the next 8 weeks we will share some of the simple ideas we've heard about how to improve it.

WEEK ONE: Try a random act of kindness.

People have told us they've done the RAK's below... Let us know if you've done one, or add a new idea to the list!:
- Tag someone onto the bus
- Give someone a hug when they're sad
- Pool some money together and surprise someone by paying for their groceries
- Give someone your parking ticket if there's time left on it

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
