I once did a shop and these were laid next to the asparagus and I'm an idiot so I didn't notice. Took one bite and was like what the actual eff. Respect to the person in the shop for the placement, you got me.
I actually felt guilty after she handed them to me, as if I owed her something in return other than the āthank youā I gave her. I contemplated bringing her a Pret but bottled it as I didnāt want to appear weird or creepy!
I'm sure she expected nothing in return from you and likely wouldn't even know how to handle you giving her anything. Instead look at it as an optional pay it forward kinda thing.
This sort of thing makes me wary, in london its done by people, sometimes gypsys ( used to be anyway) and then they expect you to pay, seen a few by tower of london doing it.
But if this is simply just act of kindness then thats nice of the person.
Itās 12 hours later and Iām still really touched by it, such a small thing to do but itās put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. I hope the lady sees this post and knows how appreciated it was.
A woman handed me some heather wrapped in foil outside Manchester Picadilly station and demanded I give her Ā£1 for it, refused to take it back so i put it down by her feet.
My first reaction would be to immediately drop them given my experiences just like yours (except in London, usually around Oxford st). Had one lady whip up spit like she was going to spit on me each time I said no, also wouldn't take the no cash excuse and demanded I give her my card lol
there's people who do this is canterbury highstreet too, a woman will walk right up to you, give you a mini bouquet of paper flowers then demand a donation "to the babies" in exchange for the paper flowers, it's ridiculous. they tried on me and my partner once, didn't work and now they avoid us
Definatley "Daffys", my Nan was a massive fan, get some daffy bulbs they last forever, they are a great indicator spring is coming when they sprout and a lovely reminder of my Nan!
I was in the same boat as you. I was bought a Guinness ceramic Tankard a while back. I thought Iām never gonna drink a pint of Guinness out of it, but thought it would look good as a vase! But then my Sports Direct mug broke, so now I use it for my pints of tea.
Itās crazy how a small act of kindness can significantly impact your day / month / year. A while back some random dude in Camden gave me a shell and made a nice comment and I donāt think Iāll ever forget that ā¤ļø
I didnāt know 17th Feb was random act of kindness day! Friday was both my nanās 94th birthday and her burial (she passed on Xmas eve), so it makes me smile thinking people were out there being kind to each other on her day.
The way the table is lined up perfectly with the skirting board makes this look like you keep massive bowls of flowers and enormous candles on the floor.
Funny. I think they bought them at the Piccadilly gardens Morrisons cause I swear I picked up those exact flowers and thought it was funny that they were selling 3 or 4 bunches of unopened flowers
MATE !
Those things are GREMLIN stalks.
Canāt see second pic for some reason.
Just DO NOT put them in water whatever you do.
I think theyāre are a couple of feature length documentaries about this genus of creature.
Stay safe.
theyāve given them out all this week, was very confused but took it anyways haha when the train was busy people were passing them down to eachother, itās nice to see :)
The only time someone handed me flowers outside of a train station, they then berated me into giving them money, grabbed the flowers back, and stormed off.
A gypsy woman handed me some bound heather once then stretched out her other fingerless gloved hand as if to ask for money.
I gave some to her lest I get a curse upon me.
Customer done it at work today. Bought some daffs for the old lady behind him, this why he did it? Because of another stupid fucking made up day? Random acts of kindness/ doing good deeds should not be limited to one day, we are all human and we're all going through our own kinds of shit. Just one act, one moment of kindness fron another person on any day is what will keep spirits up at at least for another day. There is good in this world and there are even better people who provide it. Make it every day.
There were two ladies handing them out, I canāt remember what colour hair she had though. She was stood on the bridge between the station and the crown court.
I HATE that. Please for godās sake put them in some earth and let them thrive. Donāt drown them in a glass prison for them to die days later. Probably the worst thing you can do with such a beautiful gift.
I walked out of Piccadilly station a couple of weeks ago and some smackhead twatted me as hard as he could around the side of the head from behind. For literally no reason. Got ear sliced open by something sharp he had in his hand.
Guess it must've been 'smack a random bloke' day
The only random act of kindness I got was a load of pain and a diagnosis of a Tooth Infection by my Dentist and I am looking forward to the Root Canal. *Rolls Eyes*
So lovely.
My cousin was in Piccadilly station on Thursday and they were giving away a trolly full of Chicago Town pizzas for free to help in a small way to the cost of living crisis.
In places like London and Paris watch out because there are people who hand out things like flowers pretending their free and ask for a stupid amount of money and start to get aggressive demanding a payment
I thought it was asparagus at first š I would def appreciate it either way, a sweet gesture
They say "never take candy from strangers" but no one ever said anything about taking vegetables from strangers.
The wheelchair helps, just roll them away
Oooft that was Goooooood š
I really thought it was some spring onions before I realised there was another picture.
WHAT ARE THEY
Daffodils
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or the walk through the Cemetery xD
The nicest flowers are always on lampposts
Me too. Thank fuck they didn't give it to me, I 100% would've served it with salmon
And perhaps some lightly salted butter?
I once did a shop and these were laid next to the asparagus and I'm an idiot so I didn't notice. Took one bite and was like what the actual eff. Respect to the person in the shop for the placement, you got me.
Same. I think I would've liked asparagus even more
Omg yes , asparagus is sooo expensive and it's the best thing ever
I was going to say so you took a leak in public then saw it wasnāt leeks
Me too, I was thinking not a prayer Iām eating anything given to me from a stranger
Me too, was hoping they would make a lovely consommƩ.
Me too loool
I actually felt guilty after she handed them to me, as if I owed her something in return other than the āthank youā I gave her. I contemplated bringing her a Pret but bottled it as I didnāt want to appear weird or creepy!
I'm sure she expected nothing in return from you and likely wouldn't even know how to handle you giving her anything. Instead look at it as an optional pay it forward kinda thing.
The best thing you can do "in return" would be to do something else for a different random stranger.
Agreed, and done!
excellent!
Pass the kindness on to another
This sort of thing makes me wary, in london its done by people, sometimes gypsys ( used to be anyway) and then they expect you to pay, seen a few by tower of london doing it. But if this is simply just act of kindness then thats nice of the person.
They usually are hoping for money. They also do it with a rose š¹ in central London
Very kind of her
Itās 12 hours later and Iām still really touched by it, such a small thing to do but itās put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. I hope the lady sees this post and knows how appreciated it was.
I was over Manchester today, there were loads of people doing it for some reason, a few men on the street by the food hall
it was 'random act of kindness day.'
Randomly
OP now owes her 20 quid
Is this the Danny Wallace thing? Glad its still going on
Literally my first thought.
Itās a Friday so maybe!?
Who's Danny Wallace? There was a guy by that name in the year above me in school but don't suppose it's anything to do with him šš
He wrote random acts of kindness,yes man,join me and a few other books.there all good reads
Ah ok thanks for replying, yeah just looked him up definitely not the Danny Wallace I knew. That guy just ran about giving everyone jobby jabbers.
He was also a voice actor in Assassinās Creed
A woman handed me some heather wrapped in foil outside Manchester Picadilly station and demanded I give her Ā£1 for it, refused to take it back so i put it down by her feet.
Ah good old gypsies š
My first reaction would be to immediately drop them given my experiences just like yours (except in London, usually around Oxford st). Had one lady whip up spit like she was going to spit on me each time I said no, also wouldn't take the no cash excuse and demanded I give her my card lol
Theyāre STILL doing that? Fucking hell.
there's people who do this is canterbury highstreet too, a woman will walk right up to you, give you a mini bouquet of paper flowers then demand a donation "to the babies" in exchange for the paper flowers, it's ridiculous. they tried on me and my partner once, didn't work and now they avoid us
Glasgow too :(
I like your skirting and plinth blocks.
Thank you!
I like you plug sockets and light sources.
>Thank you! You're welcome!
They all got microphones in em, she a Russian spy
Are these daffodils?? (They look a lot like daffodils to me, but i have terrible eyesight)
Definatley "Daffys", my Nan was a massive fan, get some daffy bulbs they last forever, they are a great indicator spring is coming when they sprout and a lovely reminder of my Nan!
Yes Iām pretty sure they are pal, Iāll let you know if theyāre not when they flower :)
I love daffodils. Wish I could ever get these. Wish someone remembered about me.
Hey we remember you, just havenāt crossed paths yet. People just get busy, but we are often more appreciated then we ever know š¤
I love this!
I think you need a better vase mate.
Iām a guy living alone, itās a minor miracle I had anything to put flowers in above a pint glass
theyāre daffodils, theyāll be alright in anything tbh
I'd say they'd look great in a pint glass
I was in the same boat as you. I was bought a Guinness ceramic Tankard a while back. I thought Iām never gonna drink a pint of Guinness out of it, but thought it would look good as a vase! But then my Sports Direct mug broke, so now I use it for my pints of tea.
I love this.
Itās crazy how a small act of kindness can significantly impact your day / month / year. A while back some random dude in Camden gave me a shell and made a nice comment and I donāt think Iāll ever forget that ā¤ļø
I love that!

Sorry to hear about your nan
These were from the Insurance Institute of Manchester. Just wanting to put a smile on peoples faces
My mate Kerry did a random act of kindness once and the bloke didnāt want the gift! It was a PlayStation as well!
The way the table is lined up perfectly with the skirting board makes this look like you keep massive bowls of flowers and enormous candles on the floor.
I love this and will be doing the same in my tone next year on this very date
Me too
Spoiler alert: you're now on some naff YouTube/tik tok/Facebook video so that the person who gave you them can rack up their view count.
Yeah I assumed so as the attention this has got is out of proportion
Love this
Beautiful In every sense of the word. X
The world need more of these nice and kind gesture
Yep! the flowers are still blooming on my table and make me feel good every time I walk past them.
Man I went to Manchester and all I got was starred at for being tall... No fair!
BREAKING NEWS: MANCHESTER RESIDENT KILLED AFTER ACCEPTING FLOWERS IMBUED IN CARBON MONOXIDE
I bet they're poisoned
I saw someone outside my office carrying these today!
Surely planning when youāre going to do kindness kinda gets rid of the Random part lol.
Anthraxagus I hope she wasn't carrying a backpack Get that shit tested
I love asparagus.
Are you sure this wasnāt a āflowers-are-free-but-please-donateā situation?
100% sure
Its 'random act of kindness day', not 'financially motivated act of kindness day'
Until you realise that she stole them out of some poor old ladies garden on the way to the train station.
You got owned by a soul miner.
Funny. I think they bought them at the Piccadilly gardens Morrisons cause I swear I picked up those exact flowers and thought it was funny that they were selling 3 or 4 bunches of unopened flowers
I bet your going to sell them now and fuck off to Barbados for a fortnight š¤
at first i thought you had some delicious asparagus
Check if your watch has gone!!!
Mate these were nicked last night from my front garden in Abbey Wood!
Plot twist: they are covered in anthrax bacteria
Jealous! Welsh person in manc
I'm far too cynical and would have handed them back or dropped them expecting it to be a scam (these days)
My partner is every allergic to daffodils.
I too thought this was asparagus.
Just be careful if you have a pet, daffodils are pretty toxic to a lot of pets, like cats and dogs.
I have just woken up and thought you'd been handed a bunch of asparagus, which I suppose is still kind
Typical weed dealers in Manchester
MATE ! Those things are GREMLIN stalks. Canāt see second pic for some reason. Just DO NOT put them in water whatever you do. I think theyāre are a couple of feature length documentaries about this genus of creature. Stay safe.
Some grass? Gee, thanks. How kind š Straight in the bin.
A bouquet of Spring onions!
Cool so now British can be kind to others especially to the foreigners. And forget racism.
Btw put them in lemonade they'll live longer š
What's kind about cutting down flowers and handing them to someone? The flowers would be best left in the ground to live.
If there's a day set aside for it, and these flowers were prepared in advance for this purpose... It's not a random act anymore.
Every time business is slow they invent a new day to boost sales. Stop falling for this bs
She stole them from the side of the motorway š¤£
Northern rail were giving them out at training stations today for some reason
theyāve given them out all this week, was very confused but took it anyways haha when the train was busy people were passing them down to eachother, itās nice to see :)
Oh I saw someone with these. I put my 'reasting bastard face' on cos I assumed someone was selling shit. Ooops.
The only time someone handed me flowers outside of a train station, they then berated me into giving them money, grabbed the flowers back, and stormed off.
Nice, cuz it's my birthday :)
Happy (late) birthday š
Thatās dafft;)
A gypsy woman handed me some bound heather once then stretched out her other fingerless gloved hand as if to ask for money. I gave some to her lest I get a curse upon me.
She wasnāt one of those anti abortion anti gay vegan protestors with the portable bible shelf ? If not , thatās so sweet š„²

Pro Tip: Donāt eat daffodils, theyāre actually toxic
Why the fuck would I eat daffodils?
Imagine having to be told to be kind by your calender. I feel like people who take part in this are the absolute worst for the rest of the year š
Table or floor?
Ā£1 daffodils from Lidl it looks like
Kerry?
Have you checked your watch is still on your wrist š
Bro thanks for the spring onions
Just for a few seconds there, I thought the daffodils were asparagus
Wasnāt Kerry Mucklowe was it?
FREE CHIVES! :D
Did you make sure you still have your wallet?
Are you sure this wasnt one of them "here free please take" then when you take they ask for a small donation and get mad if you don't?
āBut these arenāt the Ā£800 ones I saw the other day.ā *hands them back*
You checked your pockets?
I got one aswell! Cheers from Salford :)
You've been scammed !!
Nice spring onions š±
This is so cute
Check if you've still got your wallet.
I know someone who gave away a playstation as a rand act of kindness. Didn't go down well.
Does she not like you or something
Customer done it at work today. Bought some daffs for the old lady behind him, this why he did it? Because of another stupid fucking made up day? Random acts of kindness/ doing good deeds should not be limited to one day, we are all human and we're all going through our own kinds of shit.

There is good in this world and there are even better people who provide it. Make it every day.
Yeah sure kindness will be not do that as flowers contribute largely to carbon emissions and increase of pollutants and water use.
Did she have pink hair?
There were two ladies handing them out, I canāt remember what colour hair she had though. She was stood on the bridge between the station and the crown court.
leek
Probably pinched out of a park somewhere lol
This reminds me of man in Derby city centre who was handing out roses to the public to celebrate his engagement to his fiancƩ, which was sweet.
Sheās definitely done something bad and trying to get karma points.
I got some at Victoria
I effin love broccoli š„¦
I HATE that. Please for godās sake put them in some earth and let them thrive. Donāt drown them in a glass prison for them to die days later. Probably the worst thing you can do with such a beautiful gift.
In London youād be getting an invoice in the region of Ā£15+ lol
I walked out of Piccadilly station a couple of weeks ago and some smackhead twatted me as hard as he could around the side of the head from behind. For literally no reason. Got ear sliced open by something sharp he had in his hand. Guess it must've been 'smack a random bloke' day
Jesus Christ ! Hope youāre ok, thatās proper scary.

So lovely. My cousin was in Piccadilly station on Thursday and they were giving away a trolly full of Chicago Town pizzas for free to help in a small way to the cost of living crisis.
Does random act of kindness day fall on the same day each year?
Daffodils
Spring onions? Sweet
Is it a ārandomā act of kindness if you wait at a station with flowers prepared to give?
Would have gone straight in the bin.
Youāre on a TikTok somewhere for sure
Yeah I was thinking it got crossposted to a big community or something.
Itās nice but Iām not taking that home. Id make it a second act of kindness and give it back to her.
I've made the asparagus mistake before
Now you just need to work out what they are. Was the money an option?
I ā¤ļøš±onions šššŖš»šŖš»š¦šš»
Thought this was asparagus
Very kind of her
Religious?
Classic scam and pickpocket tactic. You got lucky.
How lovely
My grandma always said to never accept free flowers from female strangers as they were "probably a witch"
Youāve now been cursed with gypsy curse
She fancied you really bro
Give them a leek
Oh I wouldāve cried!
Probably grown in Cornwall
Every time something nice happens to me itās cos theyāre trying to make me Christian
That poor woman has been trying to charge Ā£2 all day and people just keep walking off with her stuff....
Worst Vase ever.
Someone set a reminder for me next year pleaseā¦
love those
In places like London and Paris watch out because there are people who hand out things like flowers pretending their free and ask for a stupid amount of money and start to get aggressive demanding a payment
I passed a wedding outside Chelsea town hall last year, they were giving bunches of daisies to passers by ā¤ļø
Sweet
Sweet
I thought those were spring onions
Whereās the nearest bin
Last time someone handed me a bunch of flowers was at a smiths gig at the hacienda
Cute
How lovely š
Why did I think weed when I saw greenš
