Everyone deserves a friend
(reddthat.com)
"Don't come to work tomorrow."
"thanks for the Snickers."
For everyone who doesn't believe this sort of thing ever happens, there's a reason why this former security guard is now sitting offstage to the left of Jimmy Kimmel every night.
Kimmel started talking to him, befriended him, and eventually gave him a job.
Some people are nice. Some successful people are nice and are friends with other people who are not as successful as them. Sometimes they even help them out if they can.
is there a lemmy version of r/thathappened yet?
As a custodian who is often treated like I might as well be invisible, this can absolutely happen. Those who show even the tiniest bit of respect to us are often the only ones and it is greatly appreciated.
I’m sorry if you’re not appreciated enough where you work and I just want to say a deep thank you for what you do - you keep the wheels turning. I used to be friends and neighbours with our custodian (before they moved to a warmer country and we lost touch) and having seen the state of the office in just one day without my buddy when he was off sick (people are such animals), it’s people like you that make a place nice and uplifting to be in. Thank you, fishos.
Well said, fartsparkles. Well said.
Thank you (:
Well, on behalf of everyone who should say so but doesn’t, thanks for making our workplaces, schools, etc. less terrible. Y’all are underrated.
ok, true enough, but that timestamp is from 2020, so either way it is super recycled
Oh no, an old post in the wholesome sub. Damn. Can't have old happiness in here.
GTFO you troll.
You are not invisible. I see you. You are an essential worker. Imagine what malls, offices and especially schools would be like without custodians. So thank you for the hard work you do.
do you awkwardly go to people at work and say "thank you for being my friend"?
If everyone else ignores me or treats me like shit and this guy spends time with me every day to make my job less shitty? Yeah, I'd thank them and even buy them a coffee.

If it's been a really shitty day where things have been being piled on and I'm struggling, yeah, absolutely. Why do you find this something to mock or ridicule or disbelieve?

I appreciate the people who keep our society from imploding and tell 'em. Thank you for your labors dude/ladydude!
Much respect. What you do should be valued much more highly.
Is there a lemmy version of r/nothingeverhappens
This guy's (image not op) whole thing on Twitter seemed to be post something like that and then 5 donation posts. I couldn't determine if legit but seemed sketchy so I blocked.

The janitor my elementary got in trouble for being observed roller skating on the the roof of our gymnasium. Rumor started that they'll fire him and every student promised violence if they did. Like, sure, maybe he should that but also otherwise he's beloved so feel free to test your assumptions on the student response.
when I was in grade school who had a very nice Japanese janitor. one day a girl said he touched her and he killed himself. Afterwards the girl later said she lied about it.
Thinking back to my middle school days, it's entirely possible there janitor never rollerskated on the roof, the administration had no plans to fire him, but the students were still prowling around threatening violence over it 🤣

is this really that unbelievable
people have been known to drink coffee, sometimes in the presence of others, even
No, unbelievability isn’t the problem, but I remember reading this long before Twitter was renamed X.
Well the timestamp does say 2020.

"And then everyone clapped and I got a raise"
Bit cynical
Sounds like it came straight out of a Dhar Mann video
Yeah, infantalising mawkish drivel.
The image of this lonely peasant so eager for one of his betters to bless him with their company, it could only be written by someone very detached from reality
It was the friends we made along the way.
