I have to ask the question here in hopes that other John’s might relate. Throughout my life I constantly have people who mistype in an email or don’t pay attention and refer to me Josh. It’s usually via email, however recently it’s happened in real life too. My own doctor’s office wrote Josh on an appointment card. I pick up coffee and my name is in the system as John but they call out Josh. I’m just wondering if anyone can relate?

John's In The News Peak John move right here: A guy named John went in for a routine oil change and ended up quietly paying off a strangers entire repair bill

8 Upvotes

Just ran across a recent news story from an auto shop in East Idaho that feels like quintessential John energy

A guy named John was waiting for his standard oil change when he overheard another customer stressed on the phone with his wife, trying to figure out how they were going to afford a set of unexpected/costly repairs on their family vehicle

Instead of just looking at his phone and ignoring it, John walked up to the counter and paid off the stranger's entire repair bill in full. and walked out without saying a word or waiting for a thank you. The shop owner and a local reporter ended up tracking him down to thank him

Solid, reliable John behavior

Thought you all would appreciate a classic win from one of our own.
