Sometimes I see people who've been having a hard day/week, and I want to give them a hot drink and say "look, it's alright, things will get better".
However, most people don't take well to some random person whom they may not know very well telling them that everything is going to be okay - how do they know what they're talking about?
What we need is a delivery service which, rather than packages, will deliver small kindnesses from the shy to those who may have been having a hard day. For a fee, a courier will bring up to the target a hot cup of coffee/tea in a special mug (coffee/tea made to recipients liking, if known, or if they don't like either, it could be a mug of lollies or something like that) with a little keychain of a fuzzy creature on the end. Messages are optional.
This could be a service of a coffee chain or something like that, orders would come in over the internet and would be dispatched to the nearest coffee shop.-- froglet, Jun 07 2007 Random Acts of Kindness http://www.actsofkindness.org/ [xandram, Jun 07 2007] Everything Is going to be all right. http://www.mytherap.../WHONEEDSBUDDY.html [2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 07 2007] nothing new under the croissant! very nice, froggie too.

I saw a *Random Acts of Kindness* truck the other day and wondered if it was delivering anything to anyone.-- xandram, Jun 07 2007 This is actually a really good idea with possibilities to expand with other companes. Ex. The coffee or tea could be starbucks. That gets everyone feeling better.-- punk_punker, Jun 07 2007 I think the idea is great but I couldn't help but picture somebody randomly handing out these fuzzy creatures. [Link] Make sure to click on Hear My Voice.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 07 2007 But wouldn't people who didn't randomly get a warm fuzzy be even madder then, canceling the overall improvement?-- phundug, Jun 07 2007 No, I think if the fuzzies were warm and fuzzy enough, people nearby might go "Awwwww..." creating a located instance of the Happy Cuddle Club.-- shapu, Jun 07 2007 I'd stay away from the trinkets and send food, a singing telegram, a foot massage - an experience rather than a thing. Oh, and here is yours: [+].-- nuclear hobo, Jun 07 2007 Am I the only one who thought this was a Furry support group at first?-- Galbinus_Caeli, Jun 08 2007 Jeez, I could use this today.-- elhigh, Jun 08 2007 Ming the Merciless: "Hi, I'm Ming the Merciless, and I'm a relapsed warm fuzzy" Support Group: "Hi Ming" Ming the Merciless: "It all started when one day, I no longer wanted to be given out. I wanted all my warming fuzzy warmth to be kept to myself. Warm fuzzies shouldn't be that way, should they?" Counsellor: "No, they shouldn't, but admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Well done, Ming"-- froglet, Jun 09 2007 So what do you do for the deliveryman when he is having a bad day?-- discontinuuity, Jun 09 2007 Give him an angora rabbit to stroke, like the one in the linky. :-D-- froglet, Jun 10 2007 //The coffee or tea could be starbucks. That gets everyone feeling better//
In that case, I am most definitely not everyone.-- ye_river_xiv, Feb 18 2010 Neither am I. I would think that I was being patronized.-- Jscotty, Feb 18 2010 random, halfbakery
