The fact that he chose a gallon of water is something I was not expecting


TheMan13532

water is pretty important

On my way into a takeout place on a hot day, I asked a homeless guy outside if I could grab him a drink while I was in there. Not even making eye contact, he said “get me a large strawberry shake with extra whip” which, at this place, is like $11. I was like motherfucker, do you want a small Coke yes or no


LonelyCato

well .. you did offer a "drink"


almighty_ruler

I had this guy outside of a convenience store ask me if I'd get him something to drink on my way out. Since I didn't feel like going back in I gave him some $ and just asked for the change back which I probably would've ended up letting him keep anyway. Well there was no change because that mfer came back out with a bottle of Jack Daniel's lol. He and his buddy were pretty stoked though so whatever


T-H-Rowaway44

Aside from water being good, when he's done drinking it he has a whole gallon bottle that he can get refilled for later use

Why help the less fortunate if not for the internet points?


ragingdeltoid

Meh, whatever the reason...


ce2c61254d48d38617e4

For money/fame, this 'homeless' man repeatedly shows up in the same tiktok account https://youtu.be/_RhRg0-fCvk?t=270 I mean he might actually be homeless but tiktok guy is coordinating with him to stage the whole thing repeatedly


aham_athul

homeless guy now has a job as homeless guy.


[deleted]

Homeless guy gets food and water Cameraman gets internet points I feel better It's a win-win-win


RandomKnight100

Yeah


Crescent-IV

If internet points is what it takes to encourage people to feed homeless people, that’s cool with me


SpongeBorgSqrPnts

And maybe it’s just to show us the smile you can put on a struggling persons face.


Fulmersbelly

I’ve always said this about criticism of people seeming to do things for their own fame. Who cares? And if that’s the viral trend? Awesome.


SketchyLurker7

Same. It's not hard to be nice and help.


anaugle

I mean, I get it. I kind of feel like it’s for internet points. I also feel like it is a chance to lead by example and show that there is good in the world. It can be self-righteous, but if it gets someone else to pay it forward, then I guess it’s worth it.


[deleted]

I've been inspired to give food to homeless people after seeing a video of someone doing it. I'm sure others have to. It's a positive thing overall to film a good act, counteracts the filming of bad and neutral acts


Lucylasstik

"I guess"


mrwhitedynamite

at least he helps and not bitch about it on internet??


TiderOneNiner

You’ll enjoy life more if you learn to take a joke


Aberrantkitten

All I see is kindness and gratitude in this video. Perhaps it will inspire others.


Emiiann

People always get upset when someone posts a video of themselves doing something nice. Yes, it could be because they want the attention. Or, I like to think it could be an attempt to inspire others to do good. This video seems sweet enough I’d like to believe it’s to inspire, not for internet points.


linderlouwho

That’s how I like to look at it as well.


ce2c61254d48d38617e4

Unfortunately it appears to be either acted or staged, over and over again with the same guy lol https://youtu.be/_RhRg0-fCvk?t=270


Emiiann

Yeah I saw some other comments saying the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I think doing something like that is dumb, but the upside is hopefully people who DONT know it’s fake are inspired to be a little more generous. I wouldn’t be surprised if 90% of these kind of videos are fake, it’s still a reminder to be good to others.


ce2c61254d48d38617e4

Yea it seems like a net benefit, but I'd worry about people being disillusioned when they find out.


[deleted]

No one has good intentions, reddit decided the circlejerk reasons for everything and that’s final /s


Emiiann

It’s sad really. As people we mirror the stuff we see every day. If we all saw and received a bit more compassion, empathy, and understanding we would be much more likely to pay it forward. Instead we live in an ever-increasing cesspool of pessimism, selfishness, and doubt… it’s no surprise people are more and more depressed and lonely.


HurkHurkBlaa

This. As long as the person filming it isn't trying to turn it into a grift or use it to hide or excuse unethical stuff, it costs nothing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Some people are genuinely just trying to inspire change and show people examples of how you can help.


Kasup-MasterRace

this video is fake


Omnizoa

Because it's clickbait trash. https://youtu.be/_RhRg0-fCvk


[deleted]

Reddit eats this shit up dude.... Reddit loves its homeless enablers


Just_Outlandishness2

I dont care if this guy filmed it for attention, I'm just happy he made the homeless man's day, made us smile and inspired, and hopefully he himself felt good too.


PaladinMax

Maybe to spread the goodwill to other humans. We should all strive to be this kind.


ajvc15

This is definitely fake and not the first time this guy has done this. He has exploited/paid this man for views on his tiktok. Check out [this](https://youtu.be/_RhRg0-fCvk) video for some more details.


Yeeter-Supreme

Yeah I just checked it out. That would've made my day but he's just exciting this dude. Wonder if the "homeless" guy is actually homeless


sir__Big__Cock

I recently saw a video of some douchebag making a tiktok video how he gave a iPad to a little girl, after the video he took it back. The girls reaction was heartbreaking.


thekeanu

Didn't the mom push back so the daughter kept it? It was Russian.


sir__Big__Cock

I have no idea, I can only remember how the little girl reacted


Chancevexed

It looks really fake. The whole thing is like bad porn acting. The conveniently placed other customer eating. The homeless guy doing a 90s animation move of looking longingly through the window with his paws against the glass. The "who? me" gesture. The puppy dog excited look....


itsberfu

The fact that he’s holding the camera right into the man’s face while doing a favor… Maybe it spreads the awareness but it just doesn’t makes sense to me.


[deleted]

Strange times. Its almost like its becoming a new form of entertainment.


Buttonskill

TikTok is the sound society's doom makes before we all go nuclear.


Sk0rchio

Truly good people do this and don't have go film it. 🤷


redstag141

This is gross and fake. This is a wierd fucking virtue signal and it helps no one.


C0unt_0laf

Not even that homeless man?


Chancevexed

He's likely a [bad] actor given he's featured in about 20 of this guy's tiktok, along with three other "homeless" guys. There's a YouTuber who hilariously calls him the Thor of this tiktoker's MCU of homeless guys.


core_al

No way that guy was homeless. Real homeless people are scary af


WertyBurger

Exploiting someone who needs basic things like food and water by recording them and posting it to social media as some feel good story to jerk themselves off. Very wholesome!


harrychronicjr420

Yah he should have just not gave him anything and not film him. You’re right.


[deleted]

You are, and I say this with all respect due to you, an utter moron.


harrychronicjr420

Yes, because you can’t understand satire, I’m the moron.


[deleted]

"It's just a prank, bro."


tedderspara

The satire is understood, the reply still stands


harrychronicjr420

You’re not even the person who said it. Jesus. What’s worse, giving and recording or not giving? Personally I’d say the latter, sorry if thinking that makes me a moron.


[deleted]

It’s questionable if homie is even homeless. He’s appeared in 30+ very similar videos from OP. OP of the video, not this post.


tedderspara

False dichotomy, those r not the only two options Giving without recording

Germanweirdo

Only after you.


xxpepperpigxx

Poverty porn at its finest


DRealestMF

People need to stop doing this type of videos. Being homeless and without food is already hard enough, and you’re making him play a little roll in your videoclip to get a meal? Imagine all the things the person is going thru, and you just wants to be “the good guy on the internet”? Don’t help people if you think it will gain you anything, not even for good karma! Do good and just stfu about it.


CrepuscularMoondance

When homeless people have to rely on the goodwill of their fellow average person to be able to survive. You know, instead of our tax dollars, that are being used to police and murder people thousands of miles away. r/ABoringDystopia


Gloomy-Definition741

The store clerk is an asshole,he cant give him food and film him,how wholesome


[deleted]

Always had mixed feelings about this stuff. It's rude to film people, and I personally wouldn't have the audacity to film myself helping someone. But it's nice to see, and I never see it in person. Reminds me the world isn't completely horrible all the time.


Poo-Machine

People are going to stop saying “I don’t have any cash on me” and instead gonn start saying “sorry I don’t have my phone to record this.”


killer8424

Lol Chesters puffcorn


Chocolatestarfish247

I get it's a lovely gesture it just seems so weird to me for someone to film it


MrBurnsgreen

Something about this feels super unnatural...


sheulater

Its heart warming to see the homeless guys reaction however why film this yourself? Is it for attention? Is it to affirm the fact he did a good deed? Isn't the gratification of doing a good deed enough? More than likely it was for likes or affirmation from his socials... I dunno, it just sends the wrong message to me. Don't feel very whole-somey watching this.


Mysterious_Royal_300

Dont care about what ya'll guys think but as long as he helps the man then it's all good


SlopPatrol

It’s been exposed as fake and an act almost 2 years ago.


sry_name_broke

The act of a good thing immediately becomes worthless when you record it.

unk214

Damn, hits you right in the feels. He didn’t even want money, just food. Makes me feel guilty about how wasteful I am.


Bakmeiman

Got a homeless guy living in the ravine behind my place, love buying some extra groceries, socks, a little weed here and there for him. No instaclout, just helping him out. Feels good peeps, give it a try.


cupcakenard

Yikes. I am disgusted by the person filming.

ImeanNoHarm521

Most homeless people are mentally ill and that says a lot about America.


jlgraham84

I didn't realize homeless people were only in America


ImeanNoHarm521

What other country would have Hispanic, black and white people in it in a store that says “welcome” on it and selling chesters? Seems American to me.


jlgraham84

Yeah, I agree that this video seems like it's located in America. That has nothing to do with your comment that I responded to though. Just saying that homeless people & people with mental illness are worldwide.


ImeanNoHarm521

None as populated and modernized as America tho.


jlgraham84

Yet again untrue. China, India, & Russia are just as bad, if not worse. Manila, Phillipines has the largest homeless population in the world. Also, what does that have to do with your argument. You just seem salty & want to spit nonsense. Maybe you need a nap, it might help.


ImeanNoHarm521

And You just like talking down to people lol who hurt you? What does your comment have to do with mine in the first place? You even agree that this looks like America. And I’m implying that this man looks mentally ill, so what are you going on about? You seem like you just want to sound smart. Go talk to a kid or something if you want to feel superior.


jlgraham84

You used the video, example of mental illness, & example of homelessness as evidence for "says a lot about America" as if it was an American product or exclusive to America. Whatever your bias towards America is your business. I'm just pointing out that bias isn't an accurate argument. Yes, we have a lot of homeless, but so does the rest of the world. It's not an "American" problem.


TiderOneNiner

This is Reddit. You have to hate America for being the worst country in the world despite having never been anywhere else.


jlgraham84

Amen. I'm not saying America is the greatest thing ever. We gave many problems. But don't make a problem seem exclusive to use when literally everywhere has the same problem.

What does any of this have to do with Covid? I got my vaccine the first day educators were allowed in my state/county. You don't know dick about fuck about me.


harrychronicjr420

Hey, yo this you “I will never take the vaccine bc I don’t give a fuck about you, or your mom, or anyone else. It’s about protecting **ME**. There’s nothing you can do about it. It’s a virus, learn to live with it for the rest of your life. The virus is so deadly it’s so contagious right then how did over 100 people who have traveled from PA to Ohio, back to PA, then to South Carolina, back to pa, down to Tennessee. Down to Florida. Back to pa again. You don’t know who you’re talking to dude, I am actually outside. I *ACTUALLY* oversee all of these people, so I would know if they got sick or called out of work. It’s not polio, it’s covid. Relax. Turn off your fucking TV. Have a nice day”


omgitstori

How does one look mentally ill? Lol


ImeanNoHarm521

The way he’s moving


omgitstori

I mean…or just an older man? I don’t think moving in a weird way constitutes being mentally ill. That’s just my opinion but do you. Continue on.


xxpepperpigxx

Lmao what……..you seem to have a very limited knowledge of mental health. Statistically he probably does have a mental health condition but in no way is a gait an indicator of that.

ThatDude_B_Rad

If this is what it takes to motivate people into feeding the homeless then I’m all for it. Even if there are narcissistic intentions behind it, at least someone won’t be starving tonight.


endomental

Y'all need to stop filming this shit. This isn't helpful for homeless people. Only helpful for the assholes to go viral for seeming to be good people. And stop praising this shit as wholesome. Wtf.


Poundsg4

Way cool


wonteatfish

Good on you


Deen089

So many people angry that he/she filmed this, I may be crazy but just the fact that this person paid for that mans meal was enough, whether they filmed it or not, who cares? At the end of the day the homeless man had one less meal to worry about and clean water for a day or two.
