There is r/trueoffmychest

I'm so cynical about this sub Reddit now I came in here expecting to read about some bloke accidentally getting an eyeful of your boobs. Imagine my shock that it's a wholesome story of somebody spreading some joy in this shitty world.

TIMSELB doesn't quite roll off the tongue though.

Good on you OP.

One time in college, it was very late and I wanted pizza. I placed my order by phone and told them if the driver could get it to me in under 20 minutes (it was close) that I would tip $20.

He arrived in 22 minutes and I almost rescinded my offer. I could see he had hurried, though, and gave him the $20. He was super grateful.

You have a good heart

>I wasn't rich

I'm assuming the tides have changed then

this will come back to you 10 fold when you give without recompense

We need more moments like this in the world.

I don't believe in that happy horseshit but thanks for your concern anyways.

No apologies necessary.

well that's refreshing. You wouldn't believe how many people just drop a bombshell about my past posts on a post that's completely random, and they get a bunch of replies from people who are like "wow...this guy is truly fvcked vp... he needs some serious help". Its tiresome. thanks for being kinda cool about that buddy.

You just paid for next oil change or his gas for the next few days, if not the whole week. This is lovely.

You're a lovely person.

Also former pizza driver, can confirm. Years after I left I still remember the good tippers and occasionally think of the best ones. That might have been the high point of his time there.

I had some mistake tips that were given back and I understood, but there's still a little disappointment.

Bah, don't harsh my vibe.

Op is afraid of phonemes. Everybody laugh at OP.

​

(But really, OP, go to therapy. You have some real problems with shame and judgment.)

> he will remember that great tip for years to come

Can confirm. I still remember my best/worst delivery. Person who took the order (via phone) failed to give me some very important details to reach the customer dwelling. An hour spent trying to find their place to get them the food. Business owner was having a raging fit, got into an actual argument with the customer claiming they were outside the delivery area in the first place (they weren't, the phone monkey screwed up big time).
Once I finally found their place and explained the situation, they were very understanding. They told me to keep the food (as it had cooled too much), and to tell my boss he was a dickhead (they'd been arguing on the phone for a while).

After all that, they reach into their pockets and just start bringing out wads of crumpled cash and they tip me for the efforts anyway. I went home with an extra 30+ in my pocket for NOT giving somebody their food. I still remember exactly where that house is today, and how cool those people were about everything.
And it's hard to forget the guys who kept inviting me in when I'd deliver to try and get me stoned or drunk (it was always game day!).
I enjoyed most of the people I got to meet, and the good definitely outweighed the bad.

Lmao you’re flattering yourself if you think I looked at your post history

Charge it to the game. That positivity will come back around on you in due time.

people are always quick to say some shit like this in one breath, and in the next "expose" me for things I've posted about in the past. Pick one, seriously... so intellectually dishonest.

Flip of the coin delivery stories ?

I had a delivery to this sweet old lady. It was the first time she ordered from our shop. Her order was cash for around 25 dollars. She hands me two bills, in the reflection of my headlights off her slider door, i could see she handed me a twenty and a hundred dollar bill. I asked her if she'd like change back, She happily replied no, keep the change. I asked her if she's sure, she's getting mildly annoyed with this line of questions by now but says yes again. I ask her if she's aware she handed me a hundred dollar bill. The shock that crosses her face, she absolutely did not realize, she thought she grabbed a ten and twenty. I give her back the hundred and she comes back with another twenty and sure about no change this time. She's a fairly regular customer now.

Another order, about 65 bucks, guy gave me a wad of twenties, no change back. Got around the corner from his house and realized it was 5 twenties, called him real quick, explained that i don't think he intentionally meant to hand me the fifth one and i didn't get far if he needed it. He said i was right but because of my honesty, dont worry about it and keep it. He orders regularly now as well.

The only way this could be more cringe is if it actually happened

No rugrats!!

As a former delivery monkey, who can assure you that our "make or break" was almost solely decided by tips, I applaud you for having been so good to the guy, even if it was by mistake. Female drivers tend to get better tips (in cash) far more often, and many customers stiff the drivers entirely, since they paid online. You did a good thing.
