Sometimes, the simplest actions can really make your day!

Imagine being on a bus trip and choosing not to buy overpriced coffee or tea at a rest stop. While you waited for the other passengers to board the bus, would you strike up a conversation with the driver or keep to yourself?

In this story, one passenger starts talking to the driver, and it leads to the sweetest encounter.

Let’s read all about it.

A lovely, unexpected, act of camaraderie made my day.

I was on a 4 hour bus journey and everyone had gotten off for a rest stop, rushing to go and buy overpriced coffee nearby.

I was in the front seat and just stood up to stretch while waiting.

It was a very pleasant wait.

The bus driver and I got talking about how insane the price of a lot of drinks are now and I mentioned I regretted not bringing my thermos of tea with me, but hadn’t had room.

He immediately reached in to a wee cubbyhole and brought out his thermos, poured me a cup.

Then he insisted I took a (very nice) biscuit to go with it!

The kind gesture was also fulfilling in a deeper way.

We sat together, drinking and munching peacefully, looking at the nearby mountains and it all filled me with a deep contentment.

I gave him a heartfelt thanks when we reached the city and do hope I see him again and can return his kindness.

I rarely see much niceness around me socially, and it meant an awful lot.

Here is what folks are talking about on Reddit.

Same! I’m smiling.

They really, really do.

Such a tonic…

He literally filled her cup.
