(OC) I gave my extra food to a homeless man this morning, then a stranger on my flight unexpectedly gave me $60

Wait 5 sec.

Today has been such a weirdly wholesome day. I was at the courthouse this morning to be a witness for my sister’s marriage. I had a cooler/bag with extra food that I wasn’t going to be able to take with me, and there was a homeless man sleeping outside the courthouse. Rather than throw the food away, I went over and left it for him without waking him up. As I was walking up with the bag, a courthouse employee looked VERY concerned and asked me, “That isn’t a bomb, is it?!” I started laughing and said, “No, of course not; it’s food!” Fast forward to later today. I’m on my flight and a man asks if I would mind switching seats so he could sit next to his wife. I said yes without really thinking about it, grabbed my stuff, went back to his seat, and sat down. A few minutes later, he walks all the way back to me and hands me something. I thought it was a piece of paper or something, so I just took it without looking. Then I realized he had handed me $60! I immediately went, “No, no, no!” because I genuinely wasn’t expecting anything for switching seats. But he just smiled, insisted, and walked away before I could give it back. Then the flight attendant sees what happened and goes, “ill take it if you don’t want it” I texted my mom about it and she said, “That’s the universe giving back to you because you gave your food to that man this morning.” I don’t know about all that, but between witnessing my sister get married, accidentally alarming a courthouse employee with a suspicious-looking bag of food, feeding someone who needed it, and then getting randomly handed $60 for switching airplane seats… Today’s events have certainly made me smile! (Edit) kudos to my girlfriend who encouraged me to post this; otherwise I wouldn’t have 💛 (Edit 2) for the haters calling this out as fake: 1. We all (family) came together to a state we don’t live in 2. My gf sent me a care package (groceries) since I wasn’t feeling well 3. I packed the groceries thinking I could try to consume them before my flight 4. Realized I couldn’t, noticed a homeless person sleeping outside the courthouse and thought they would be perfect to drop the grocery bag to 5. Dropped off the bag, ceremony happened, got dropped off at the airport. Don’t make me upload my boarding pass & courthouse pictures that’s just ridiculous lol   submitted by   /u/72-73 [link]   [comments]
