I was at Express DMV first thing this morning and an elderly gentleman was at the window doing business. When it came time to pay, he didn't have any cash. No ATM card. Just a check. I could hear him saying his wife usually does all this but she had a stroke recently. He also mentioned he was a veteran but they aren't taking checks. Some Asian lady walked over with a big wad of cash and asked the gal how much he owed. 263.00. She paid it all, thanked him for his service and would not take his check. I only had 90.00 on me and wasn't sure how much I would need for my business. I wasn't sure about giving her a 20. Seemed small seeing that giant wad of 100's.

What a nice thing to do.

Awesome story. When we turn off the tv and social media we realize there’s still plenty of good people out there.

Story ending: Asian lady leaves DMV and gets mugged, robbed, and raped by a thug who witnessed the transaction.

My thought is that there are things that happen like this daily.

Most average people are paying only a cursory mind of what's happening on the news. I'm sure that lady didn't give a shite about the guy's politics. She saw someone who was having a rough time who indirectly helped her life and decided to help him. I'm sure the man has opinions on things she would find antithetical to her value system and vice versa, but the reality is that it doesn't matter.

There's so much bad shite on the news. It's been that way as long as I've been alive. But in real life most of us recognize we are all just people trying to get by.

I needed to see it too. I've been under house arrest for 90 days recovering from surgery and feeling sorry for myself. I know there is a lot of bad shite going down. We hear about that every day. Asian lady probably owned a nail salon and raking in the cash.

Dude approached my wife in Wally world last Christmas and handed he an envelope with a card an $100 bill in it...she was on cloud nine for about a month. It does happen everyday...we just get way more of the crap info than the good.

Jokes aside, that’s a CSB.
People really don’t hate each other like the media says.

People generally look out for one another on a basic level. Shitheads exist, sure, but the majority is good.

Great story. I've done similar a couple of times, but usually just a couple of bucks type thing, but that does remind me that there are good people still out there.
