Have you ever been in a situation where it backfired on you?
I remember finishing work as a young adult at 8pm and going to the cash machine hoping I had enough to get the last bus home. It was pretty quiet in town but there was a lady in front of me at the machine. She very suddenly power walked away and just as I was about to put my card in, some money popped out. I ran after her with it calling "excuse me!" And after I caught up she started shouting at me and it took several " you forgot your money" until she looked at what I was holding in my hand. She then snatched it without even a thank you and stormed off.
Picture me, skinny as a rake, long blond hair, not particularly scary back then.
There wasn't enough in my account and I walked 4 miles home. That good deed backfired lol

My mum and I were mooching around our "shopping centre" (about 10 shops!) when a woman had some sort of fit.
I administered first aid, and sent my mum off to phone an ambulance.
Then the security guards came, then an ambulance, with a crowd of shoppers hanging about.
The woman was taken off to hospital, and so on, and then the guards helped us into a taxi home.
When we got in to mums, we had all of the womens bags of shopping as well! 
I was walking to work one morning and as I got nearer I found 20pds on the ground...I thought to myself I will buy the girls I work with our brekki when we stop at the break...My boss asked me why I was so cheery looking and stupidly I said that I'd found 20pds...She replied that she has lost a 20pd note and as I was scared of her I handed it over....What a mug I was as I knew fine it wasn't hers...
