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.
As much as I've drifted away from Kimmel (and most talk show hosts for that matter) he does give the impression that he's a sincerely nice guy when the cameras stop rolling.
Everything I have heard about him is good. He's just supposed to be a super nice guy.
Although not the most polite driver according to an unreasonably angry Tom Hanks. https://torontosun.com/2013/12/11/tom-hanks-calls-jimmy-kimmel-a-d---wad
I also don't believe Sarah Silverman would have dated an asshole.
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.
Yes it also creates a baseline that the janitor actually is inferior by showing themselves as a good Samaritan just by having coffee with them.
This is such an uncharitable interpretation of OP's intentions. Perhaps he felt happy that the janitor had such an honest reaction and wanted to share it. Not everyone is an absolute narcissist who only ever looks for internet points.
I read it as OP being a high school teacher (because I associate janitors with schools). Signaling this behaviour to the school kids would be a good thing.
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.
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
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.
"And then everyone clapped and I got a raise"
Bit cynical
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.
That's what it's all about right there. You could lean into your lizard brain and learn to see every other being as something that will either eat you or not eat you, reacting accordingly with emotion, or you could lean into your rational brain and learn to connect with anyone, to be involved in mankind.
Honestly I believe this because people are cunts.
He's a video of a janitor getting an assembly for him

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
