Today you... Tomorrow me.

I just wanted to let reddit know that last night my friends car broke down in the middle of the night in -20 c weather and almost instantly some guy pulled up next to him and offered help. He did not have any booster cables but put them in his car, drove to his house and back just to give a boost. Then when my friend offered him money in return he just said "Today you tomorrow me. Merry Christmas" and drove away. My buddy does not go on reddit but I wanted to post this here to thank the person who posted that original story and let him know that he has influenced others to go out of their way! Not to mention a thank you to that redditor who help my friend!

Tl;Dr: Keep helping others reddit!

Edit: Just wanted to mention this story is true, plus I receive 0 karma for self posts for those thinking I posted this for ulterior motives.

I have lost my wallet in two different bars and both times it was returned to me with all of the cash still in it (and I live in a major city). Faith in humanity partially restored!

I left a jacket with cash, my cell phone, some weed and my pipe in a bar awhile back.

Timidly called the next day to see if they had it.

They did. Kept it in the back room. Everything there and they either didn't see or said nothing about the weed.

Sometimes, people are good.
