Thanks to everyone who shared their methods for relaxing and keeping their sanity in last week's giveaway. I'm a touch tardy on writing this one... I thought that I was only just a day late... but it turns out that I'm closer to 3 days! Sorry about that!
Anyway, these week I was thinking about the little things that we do that other people just don't do. Just trivial little things, nothing important, world-shattering or anything like that... just little things that probably no-one ever notices, that you don't expect any attention for... but it amuses you that you do it anyway!
My Question
- What is a tiny trivial thing that you do that other people around you don't do, but it is a little good or useful thing... that will go unnoticed, that you don't expect great recognition for... but you do it anyway!
My sample answer
My little trivial feat of heroism relates to the title of this post, "Who eats the crust?"!
You know the ends of a loaf of bread, those tiny little bits that might be just too thin to be of any use to anyone.... well, no one else in my house eats them! They just sit around in the bag whilst everyone moves onwards to the new loaf of bread! So, I'm the one who will eat those little bits and then get rid of the bag that has been sitting around housing the last tiny bit of bread! Well, it's nothing much... but I do find it funny... plus, I actually like those little bits! It means that you get the maximum amount of spread (jam... honey... stroop....) with the minimum amount of bread! All taste, no filling!
Rules
- Upvote is not required, but appreciated!
- Resteem is NOT necessary!
- In the comments, answer as best as you can the questions that are posed in the "My Questions"!
- I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
- I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!
- PLEASE PLEASE Don’t upvote your OWN comment. I can’t stop you doing it, but it seems to mess up the distribution of the Bounty for everyone else. If you upvote your own comment, I will consider it an invalid entry when doing the draw.
Steem Basic Income
One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!
With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!
Last week's winners
The last post paid out 1.068 SBD and 0 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 3 shares.
The winners by random draw are:

So at work, I make sure to refill the keurig with water so the next person can always also make a cup. Not many do this as I always have to fill it up after I use it and then fill it again. But it works well when a boss comes in next and sees you do it.

From time to time, I put a penny on the sidewalk...someone will stop and pick it up. Now their life is one second different than it otherwise would have been. Maybe now they run into the love of their life or maybe they get hit by a bus...can’t ever know, but you can be certain that the entire course of their future has changed.

This is definitely a very small thing, that only I would ever notice that I do: I park at far corner of a shopping center parking lot and I grab the one cart sitting out in the middle of no where and push it in to the store with me.

Hi there ;) .. here is what I always do and what no one else seems to be doing :
Whenever I enter a playground with my small son, first of all I clean the playground a little bit, remove the trash from the sand, throw empty bottles in the trash and so on .. unfortunately erytime I am at the playground it is a little bit more dirty then before ;( .. it is a bit annoying and I wish that people would take more care with nature and especially the playgrounds for our children !!

@bengy, I like to sing but on very less occasions I've sang before crowd or group of people because many times people forget to appreciate someone's expression. And in my opinion many people try to find the excellence but they forget that every expression hold the value and emotions.

haha. Great writing prompt! One thing I do that not many people seem to do is related to driving. When I'm turning left onto a multi-lane street I make sure to go into the furthest left lane and then put on my signal to move over to the right instead of just turning directly into the right lane without signaling. This is a big deal to me but it seems like most people don't care about doing it the proper way.
P.S. I eat the crust as well! I don't mind it at all. Sometimes I prefer the crust piece. Have you ever heard people refer to it as the "heel" of the loaf? Not the most appetizing term to use for your food. lol

Ooff... the lack of signalling drives me nuts... and even more as some people here try to change lanes WHILE they are turning WITHOUT signalling.... basically just forcing you off the road if you have a smaller car.
Anyway, I have never heard of the end of the loaf being called the "heel"... that just sounds gross!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes, exactly! I hate that!
Also, the end pieces on a loaf being called the heel definitely isn't a very appetizing name. I just call it the end piece. lol. It's good! It doesn't deserve such an unappealing name.

Whenever am cooking or finished cooking, the next thing is to dip a small towel in water and use it to clean the gas cooker and make it clean as new. Many people don't do this, even my neighbors. They found it time wasting. To me, I can't eat food that comes from a dirty place. Especially Rice, when the starchy water starts to drip out of the pot.

Hello! Later I understood that the enemies are internal and that it is necessary to pray for those people who have caused us harm. So the little thing I do is bless and pray for those people who have hurt me, even those who try to break my home. Those people do not know that, but God is the only one who knows me and knows the heart of each one of us. Only He repairs and restores.

Something that I always do without fail is pick up nails from sidewalks, parking lots and streets if I see them. I figure, by doing so I saved some random person from getting a nail in their car tire. Nails often blow off roofs after a house gets reshingled. It's actually surprising at how many nails make their way to street in the summer/fall.
