    This is such an uncharitable interpretation of OP’s intentions

    Don’t mean it’s not an accurate one though.

    I payed for someone’s train ticket once because her purse was stolen, I didn’t feel the need to make a twitter account and tell everyone.

      Nah, you just kept in your back pocket until the opportunity arose to win some internet points with it.

      But wait, that’s not accurate, is it? No, because the most cynical interpretation of someone’s behavior rarely is accurate.

      My reaction to OP was to wonder who in my life could use a friend. I’d like to think that’s exactly what OP was hoping for.

        Except I’m not winning internet points with it am I because I’m not declaring it to my name. It’s just a thing I did and I pointed out that I did it to demonstrate the fact that not everyone needs to go self-congratulate themselves whenever they do something even moderately pleasant.
