3. My father experienced that recently

A woman paid for him and by the time he figured out what she was doing, she had left and he couldn't thank her. He's getting up there, and thought it was because she felt sorry for him. But I told him about the "pay it forward" thing and he ended up giving money to someone in the parking lot and trying to direct him to where the person could get free meals in town. So he did pay it forward. ;
