If I see a freezer / fridge door open in a supermarket, I close it. Not for the supermarket, but for the planet
as someone who stacked shelves as a teen, if I take an item and it leaves a gap, I pull the next one forward so the employee doesn't have to keep fussing over the manager's demand for it to be lined up
my dad lives in a bungalow, on a small cul de sac of other bungalows. Sheltered housing for old folks. Litter often gets blown in and collects, I'll pick it up every couple of weeks. Also cleared their paths / sprinkled salt when It snowed
when old people are in the way, I don't crowd up behind them. I'll take a few steps back and wait so they don't feel pressured
if there's an item in the road that could damage someone's car, I'll wait until it's safe then remove the item
if I see someone was down voted just for sharing their opinion (assumedly because the down voter is too childish to withstand an opposing opinion), I make sure to up vote it in an attempt to restore balance. Even if I don't agree with said opinion (obviously this doesn't apply to hateful rhetoric etc)
Prob a ton of other little things I can't remember. Thanks for making this post!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that upvotes people being down voted for their opinion - provided it isn't hurtful to others. I don't want to find myself in an echo chamber, so I feel it's important for other opinions to be thrown into the ring.
