Everyone deserves a friend

"Don't come to work tomorrow."

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.

Traveled down the road and back again...

I have no problem believing that someone was kind to a janitor. What's weird is the "look at me!" points they were subconsciously (or consciously?) aiming to receive from posting this. Like, truly kind behavior doesn't look for validation.

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.

Good man. The cleaners at my dorm in college were the same. Seemed genuinely grateful to pause and chat when I'd ask about their day. After that I'd chat when I met them in the hall.

Honestly I believe this because people are cunts.

"And then everyone clapped and I got a raise"

It was the friends we made along the way.

Sounds like it came straight out of a Dhar Mann video

I'd be ashamed to befriend a person that earns 10 times less than me
