Not sure if this is worse case... but... actually a rich kid being nice. In college, there was a Saudi Arabian kid who's father bought him a new Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV. Paid in full. I was casual friends with him and his roommate. His roommate was a year behind him, and just an average dude from the US. He graduated and is in process of moving back to Saudi Arabia, to work at his father's company. He just handed the keys to his roommate and gave him the Jeep, signed the title over to him. The roommate didn't have a car. He said his roommate was a good friend to him and wanted to give him a goodbye present. The roommate drove that Jeep until he couldn't drive it anymore, many years.

Got drunk and he let me crash at his place. Said I could take the bed and he’d take the couch. Woke up to him in the bed.

TIL that dogs intentionally try to make humans laugh. They understand that laughter means play, and play is positive.
