Social media is full of a variety of video content. From cooking videos to DIY hacks, everything is at your fingertips at the touch of a button. However, there is one type of content – random acts of kindness – that can stir strong feelings in us. We often encounter these incredibly generous gestures from citizens that inspire us to do and give more. Recently, a video surfaced showing a passenger's act of kindness towards a car driver. The video has been viewed more than nine million times on social media.
The video was shared by digital creator Joyee on Instagram. The now viral clip shows her thoughtful gesture towards a car driver, who has been helping her commute since her school days. Joyee noticed the diligent driver drinking water from a plastic bottle, so she decided to show her appreciation by surprising him with a new bottle. The small but sincere gesture of goodwill was to thank him for his dedication and hard work.
The video shows Joyee sitting in a car and the driver driving the vehicle. She then zooms in with her camera on the driver's plastic bottle. Moments later, the video shows the heartwarming moment when Joyee hands the driver a new water bottle. The man's happiness and joy when he received the surprise gift has won the hearts of everyone online.
The text in the video reads: “This driver takes me home from school every day. I've been thinking for a long time that I would give him a bottle instead of this plastic bottle. Today is Labor Day and today I gave him a gift bottle as best I could.”
Since the clip was shared, it has amassed over 96,000 likes and over nine lakh views on the platform.
“He'll probably give it to his kids… so are parents, good gesture from you…” said one user.
“This is so sweet,” said another person.
Another wrote: 'His smile says it all in the end. Nice gesture.'
“In this heat wave, this action is very welcome. Cars are heated and water in a plastic bottle aur garam ho jayega. Tell him to take matke ka thanda pani from his house in that thermos and drink it throughout the day. It will keep his body cool. He can also refill it from a roadside drinking water source and enjoy the cool water in the hot summer.
One person said: “In a world where we often hear about negativity, stories like this serve as a powerful reminder of the kindness that exists all around us.”
“Good job,” another Instagram user added.
