Chivers and their numerous Random Acts of Kindness (53 Photos)

: You may have noticed more and more lately that Chivers having been “Paying it Forward” through various humane and charitable acts all over the site. Unsuspecting people everywhere are benefiting from the kindness and charity of others without any prompting or goading from us. It’s magnificent, beautiful even, and we’re thrilled to see the winds of change sweeping the nation for the better. This post is an acknowledgment of about a 10th of the submissions we have seen over the past month or so through our submit account. To be honest, there are so many more RAKs I’m not even including for various reasons, mostly because at a certain point I think people will just get bored of seeing the extravagant tips, money donations, etc., so I’ve tried my best to condense it down to the greatest few.

But make no mistake about it, whether your RAK makes it onto the site or not, your acts have more than certainly made a positive impact in some stranger’s life. So pat yourselves on the back and raise a glass together because you are all a part of the best online community on the planet as far as I’m concerned. And if you really need further proof of your great generosity just check out some of Chive Charities greatest donations. All of them were made possible by you guys.

Keep up the good deeds, and Chive On!

Sorry, this doesnt do it for me. I agree with whoever said it's just a bunch of Chivers giving other Chivers money, and also, why do you need to take a pucture of yor RAK and have it splashed on the internet so everyone can talk about how awesome you are? Shouldn't a true RAK be made without expectation of acknowledgment?

Big tips or buying some strangers a round with the hope of getting a picture of it acknowledged by the Chive isn't a random act of kindness, it's just simple self-gratification. The guy on the bike pulling the wheelchair, the shoveler- those guys are working hard to help others. These are the types of acts The Chive should celebrate. Nothing wrong with giving a big tip to your server, but if you snap a photo of it and send it to The Chive is it out of kindness or the "glory" of having your act celebrated by the internet?

I think it's usually the server taking the picture and sharing it out of gratitude, not the customer. At least most of them are that way. What's wrong with sharing that someone helped you out and made you happy? Don't be a grinch now… If someone came up and handed me a twenty right now, it'd really help me out, but talk to me after Friday after I get paid and then I might be able to help out. Sometimes it's not just the money you have, it's having it when you need it, and I'm sure these RAK's often help out someone in a pinch.

These massive tips aren't the greatest idea. What do you think the odds are that your non-Chive waiter/waitress is going to just give away all that money afterwards? I try to have faith in people, but let's face it…

#37 Is a great idea.
