Guy Shares The Conversation His Wife Had With A Potential Car Buyer And It’s The Opposite Of ‘Choosing Beggars’

I also like the pride of the person receiving, her first reaction was "No, the price is fine!"

That’s a nice thing to do and I don’t see any problem with the guy “humble bragging,” (his words in the comments) either. I think people should brag more about their good deeds, sometimes. Put that kind of energy and ideas out there, other people pick up this kind of thing.

Do "Angels" really exist? I think I can say YES to this question now.

Humans are naturally good. Few people are more altruistic than toddlers - whose pure souls have yet to be tainted by cruelty and greed. The satisfaction I get from an act of kindness is a high that no drug can provide.

"How about $300?" "How about $200?" lmao

When my wife and l (married 48 yrs at the time) decided to downsize to a condo we had to decide what to do with 32 yrs of accumulation of stuff that barely fit in 2500 sq ft + basement. We decided to treat the move as a new start and get rid of most everything. We advertised everything along with pictures on a website called KIJIJI. Things went very easily even though we had long since replaced them and hadn't bothered to take them to a dump. In one instance an old well worn mattress was picked up by a lady who was so happy to have it. To her it was a luxury. She had been sleeping on a bare floor at a friend's house. Many other household items went to predominantly single mothers. That part saddens me to this day. Where are all the husbands and fathers. I am 71 years old and l do not recognize the country l grew up in. Having a good family used to be a goal for both sexes. Now it is a throw away in our society. Very sad.

This reminds me of my mom! Way back when I was small, she lost her license so couldn't use her car anymore. She found out that our ice cream truck man had a partner who had been diagnosed with aids, but the ice cream van wasn't a suitable transport. She gave them the car. At his partners funeral, he thanked my mom for making it so much easier to care for him, as they were barely able to pay for his treatments, anyway. I love you, mom!

I gave away my guitars to a friend who plays with his wife all the time - more than most people watch television. I just wanted them to go to someone who would play them, and they'd been sitting in my closet ever since I had to quit because of arthritis (diagnosed at age 22 with rheumatoid). ...///... They don't have a ton of money, so a Fender Stratocaster and a custom acoustic would have been a stretch for them. The acoustic ended up going to a young lady who just got a recording contract in Nashville.

WHATTTTT??? We still have good people around?

BE NICE. Smile. Give all unwanted stuff away, if it can still be used, but only clean and in working condition.

So not only have you sold out to get Google ads on the website, you are now showing Kardashian videos that can't even be paused????!!!!!!!! Shame on you, you've ruined and destroyed my viewing experience. You were the last bastion of an ad free, normal, cute, moving and touching website. Now you're just like everyone else, a website with a lack of principles and selling out for the big ad bucks.

yes, there is karma doing good-much love to her

If that happened to me, I would have thought it was a scam and would just brush it off and move on. I have never gotten anything for free.

I love stories like this. Often they seem a bit braggy but this isn't like this at all. There are lots of people like this, people who give and give- only we don't get to read about it.

When I was stationed in Germany a friend gave me his car when he PCS'ed back to the states. I passed it on when I left, and so it continued. I think it was on its 6/7th owner before it finally gave out.

I think people post things like this to put it out in the universe that others should do the same thing.

This is so sweet and definetly shows that the amount of money you have doesn't show the size of your heart. the woman in the story, even though she was somewhat "rich" or had plenty of money, didnt have a terrible heart. she gave a car priced $1200 for free, with $500 extra! if you read throught the comments, there was a broke guy with a big ego. i say this because he got a free car from someone, a ford wagoner, yet his ego was so big, he didnt like beign seen in it so he traded the perfectly fine, good shape, working car for another car that broke down on him!? thats insane. I hope there are mroe people in this world like that woman!

The sales tax thing doesn't work in states who actually charge a tax based on the vehicles actual value instead of what's on the bill of sale.

Super! I'm overjoyed to see someone so willing to do this! At the same time, I'm somewhat disheartened to see Trump bashers responding. As if Trump, our first president and only politician who does not take a salary, hasn't touched anyone with kindness. Please do your research. He has financially supported numerous people over the years, for more than this amount but in keeping with his income. Of course the media won't tell you this, but if you were to look into it, you'd see he is not the demon they make him out to be. Try to find any of our millionaire congressmen and women who have touched anyone with similar acts of kindness. Please let me know if Maxine Waters or any other outspoken liberal has done anything for the "common man!" It hasn't happened.

This was a private transaction between two individuals, not done for everyone to stand around and say "whatta saint", "how lovely". It should have stayed private.
