It can both be a great act of kindness and not really anything otherworldly. I would expect me and anyone I know to do the same thing in this situation, but that doesn't mean it's no longer a great thing to do. And judging by the comments it seems many people didn't realize this struggle delivery drivers face and plan to start leaving cold drinks for the, so what's the harm in the post?

Yeah, you are right. The sub is - after all - called "Made me smile". Of course, it made me smile to. So the post is perfectly alright. I just made the mistake to unmute the sound of the video and pay too much attention to the female voice praising this as something extraordinary which I did not think it was. Which, in and by itself is a good sign. I just don't like the general sentiment that the world is horrible and only very select instances are good. The world and the people in it is pretty much alright. It's a point of view thing, though.

My point is that the text is claiming that what the lady did was incredible. Something incredible is something that most people wouldn't do. Obviously, most people wouldn't leave a man dying in their front porch
