For most people, birthdays mean receiving things. We get cakes, presents, cards, and lots of well wishes but for one Oklahoma City man, his birthday was marked by giving instead. Doug Eaton asked his friends and family on Facebook how they thought he should celebrate his birthday this year and one of the answers had been that he should do some acts of kindness.
Doug did just that on June 11th this year. He stood out on the side of the road with a very unusual sign. It read "I have a home...and a car...and a job. Do you need a few bucks for some coffee?" Those who stopped were handed $5. The act of kindness ahocked most people and brought smiles to a lot of faces. Doug reported that a lot of the people who stopped weren't interested in the money, they just wanted to thank him or congradulate him on doing something so selfless.
Other kind acts Doug did included leaving massive tips for small services, buying lunch for a few people, and paying bus fare for a father and daughter, among other things. To read more, please click here.
