"  Right after you&amp;#039;ve been dumped, during that first dazed week of sweatpants and eating lo mein in bed while drinking table wine out of the bottle and watching 3 AM reruns of Spin City (or, um, I&amp;#039;ve heard that&amp;#039;s what people do), it&amp;#039;s the small acts of kindness that slowly convince you to get up, put on Real Human Pants again and perhaps even step outside your filthy apartment. And sometimes it comes from unlikely places \u2014 for instance, your local takeout place.  When recently-heartbroken 23-year-old Angeleno Samantha La Rocco ordered a salad off Seamless Web from the L.A. restaurant Truly Vegan, on a whim, she threw in a note on the &amp;quot;Special Requests&amp;quot; box: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve just been dumped. Please draw something inspiring on the container.&amp;quot; And, as you can see, they did. (They = A guy/girl at the salad joint who&amp;#039;d undoubtedly been through the rite of passage themselves.) Cue warm fuzziness. &amp;quot;It was the happiest salad I&amp;#039;ve ever had in my life. I kept the container. It&amp;#039;s still in the refrigerator,&amp;quot; La Rocco told Good Morning America. &amp;quot;This is the best breakup I&amp;#039;ve ever had. The food container thing has totally helped.&amp;quot; As if recently-dumped single ladies need more of a reason to order in. I&amp;#039;m pretty sure my failed relationships have kept my local Peruvian place in business. (I should probs take a cue from La Rocco and switch to salad.)  Follow Anna on Twitter.
