Here you go fellow redditor...

Last night, my boyfriend and I ordered a pizza.

Unfortunately, I didn't know that I had already paid using my debit card. Upon delivery, I ended up with $40 in my hand and gave the delivery guy a 25% tip on top of what was paid online.

The delivery man, who was a man in his 30s, barely spoke English and drove a beat-up car.

However, he expressed his gratitude with great enthusiasm by telling me "thank you!" It was then that I realized I had just given him double the amount of the order. I hesitated to admit my mistake and ask for a refund, but the delivery man's reaction changed my mind.

When I saw the smile on the delivery man's face, I knew that the money meant a lot to him. He was so happy that he even made a little jump when he got into his car.

Although I wasn't rich, I felt good about helping someone who needed it more than me. I felt a little silly for making the mistake, but the joy I saw in the delivery man's eyes brightened my day.

This story may seem insignificant, but for me, it was really cool.

TL;DR : I paid double for a pizza because of my distraction, but I have no regrets. The joy I brought to this person was priceless.

Edit: I opened this before putting my phone down for a while. When I came back to read the post didn't let me vote on it so I knew something was up. So after reading your comment I decided to copy and paste. I hope you enjoy OP's story

There is a possibility that I sucked up my blue shrimp and squirted him down the drain...

My little bio active tank has some alge. I let it build up too much and I couldn't see much. I thought both of my shrimp were dead... I start turkey bastering water and alge chunks out, and scraping the alge from the glass then I am startled by a shrimp ZOOMING by!!! .... there were 2 shrimp but now I only have 1. I don't know if he died in the tank or if I blindly sucked him out with a turkey baster and shot him down the drain. Either way...RIP Joaquin!

I once had an aquatic frog that escaped its tank. I looked for weeks and never found it, then one day I spotted a crispy little corpse in a floor vent down a carpeted hallway about 20ft from where the tank was. No idea how it got there or how long it survived out of the tank!

New post "TIFU by telling Reddit I think their dicks are below average." lol. Hope it works out with your new BF, it's difficult to say if he can move on from that one. You can try to reassure him as much as you want but you know the damage is already done.

You fucked up, you killed this man’s self esteem. It’s non recoverable he’s gonna think about this every time you guys have sex and it’ll probably affect your relationship. Don’t be surprised if he can’t take it anymore and ends it cause he thinks he’s insignificant to other guys you’ve had

Yeah, you messed up here. Best you can do is apologize, and remind him that size isn't all of that important. Sometimes we say things without thinking them through. What matters most is that you like each other. It sucks, but hopefully you can move forward from this
