I'd like to start this off by saying that I dont think that the men I'm about to speak about get enough recognition for what they do. I want them to know that they are appreciated and loved.

For the men who selflessly protect women and children, who stand up to violence against women and talk about the negative impacts, you are heroes. Not only have I had a man who I didn't even know, save me from assault, I've seen my friends be helped by beautiful men. You see videos of men putting themselves in harms way just to do the right thing! Even if it means they get hurt just to protect us.

To the men who have been, or are still in prison, and you've dished out justice to predators of women and children, I respect you. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I wish that you were all recognised more.

Dear Call Center Customer Service Representatives -I used to be an angry person and I used to be a financially unstable person.This combination of unfortunate circumstances resulted in me directing some of my anger towards Call Center Customer Service Representatives .For this I am truly sorry.It may please you to learn that I have dealt with my anger issues and I have also learnt to understand my emotions so I no longer direct my anger towards others.I wish you could understand how it feels to direct your anger towards a person who is professional, patient and understanding but I wouldn't wish a fit of rage on my worst enemy so perhaps you can take my word for it instead because even though I was delusional during these incidents I can clearly recall the patient, understanding and professional way you dealt with me and how good that felt. I know I didn't deserve that level of communication but I believe I needed it.Now that I have begun to understand the impact these experiences had on my life at a time when I needed to be understood more than anything but didn't deserve to be,I only hope my words can express how valuable your skills, behaviour and attitude towards me were in my time of need.In summary, while angry people most probably won't appreciate you in the moment and may unfortunately never come to appreciate you, your skills in dealing with them have an immense impact on them therefore you should be very proud of the way you handle these things.I only hope you can appreciate yourselves as much as I appreciate you

I got drunk and drugged at a strip club and some random guy saved me and made sure I got home alright. Some people in the world are just genuinely good and I cannot be more thankful he helped me. If you’re reading this I am very fortunate for you!

Since the onset of this train wreck, every year I watch and think ‘well, they did a thing, maybe next year will be better.’ Then I realized, the train wreck IS the show. You can’t look away. It’s so god awful uncomfortable to witness. We laugh out asses off every time. Thank you.

Just here to say thank you so much for my first karma saying hi to bob in r/meme

I only go on here when I'm in what i call "gamer mode" but in reality its just when i get so high i tingle and cant function normally. It took me over 10 mins to type this because of all the typos.

Looking for help with saying THANK YOU to my mom...

I have a BIG ask. My mom is retiring from nursing in a few months. For as long as I can remember, she has been a Night Shift Hospice Nurse.

I am reaching out to the community to see if anyone would like to provide her words of encouragement as she enters this next stage of life, words of thanks for providing such a unique type of nursing care, words of any type of positivity.

My idea is to gift her one card a day for her first year of retirement. Nurses are literal angels on Earth, and let's all be honest... they are far too underappreciated for what they do. I know over the years, my mom struggled doing what she did - which was to help people die. I just really want her to know that she is so incredibly loved, and what she spent her life doing was so deeply meaningful.

What I am asking is for anyone that feels compelled to write my mom a nice note/message - to please leave it either here in the comments or if you would rather me DM you so your note stays private, I am happy to do that as well - just let me know in the comments.

I already bought cards, so I would simply write your message in a card and over her first year of retirement, my mom would get to read your note. I am happy to sign your name or leave it annonymous (again, just let me know).

Thank you so very much. I appreciate you all!

You are awesome whoever you are!

Thank you all on reddit for being there for me!

u/recipes4ever Alex had a good laugh with all your farting stickers! He kept looking at me and then the sticker and then would bust out laughing! Thank you so much!

When sending a thank you letter and I know I will be seeing the person to thank. Should I drop the letter in the mail? Or just hand it to them? Thoughts?

This is throwing a little shade but also giving props.

I am thankful my uncles and cousins in their 50s and 40s have finally learned to be independent by practicing the new years ceremony/ritual without the 100% assist from a man who’s been doing it for years and trying to teach them. I hope you learned and practiced the ceremony well for good new years vibe, but… you didn’t have to shade my dad by not inviting him to see your and his efforts to doing it. And you didn’t even do peb caab with him….not cool

u/relax455 Thank you for the beautiful reindeer you sent to Alex for Christmas! He hung it on our tree as soon as opening it!

u/VetTheViking you posted a comment a year ago that really helped me out. My headphones weren’t turning on. Google brought me to a roughly year old post about someone with the same issue. Well you posted in the comments what you ended up doing to resolve the issue.

Instead of having to contact support, but a new pair, or cry. I was able to fix it in about 15 minutes with a screwdriver. These headphones were a gift from my wife and I enjoy them very much. Thank you for giving me the info needed to repair them.

Edit: The post in question.

I was a shriners hospital child and i randomly wanted to give thanks.

They helped me suffer tremendously less.

Thank you to a fellow redditor out there in the ether, who I happen to be lucky enough to know in the real world too. Your presence is a light in my life, and your support this week meant everything. When I was feeling my most vulnerable, scared, and sad, you supported me and showed me love without question or hesitation. That’s supposed to be my job, but I suppose I can allow you to take the reins every once in a while. Because every once and a while, I see that may need a hand too. You are cherished and appreciated more than you know.

Thank you Jimmy 👍

Abby Martin from the bottom of my heart on behalf of so many Palestinians, Arabs and kind hearted humans worldwide 🌍. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being such a real life hero and for speaking up against this ongoing war.

So many journalists in main stream media have sold out the truth for jobs from various propaganda machine corporations trying to cover up the atrocities ; but you Abby Martin have spoke up and told the Palestinian truth to the world; and we are so grateful to YOU and honest journalists like you.

May God bless you and your family and keep you safe ; your voice is giving millions of people hope that someone cares about their truth and for that I see you as a real life HERO - thank you 🙏🏻

I met someone here a few months ago. Not literally met but we chatted for some time.

They were magical, in more ways than one.

We got close, we experienced a lot together. They helped me so so so much, even just by being there to chat. I was so damn low in my life, and i couldn't get out of the shit i got myself into.

By the way they spoke to me and made me feel seen and appreciated and being cared for, i got the strenght to rise from the darkness.

As i got closer to my escape from darkness, i felt the need to pull away from them. I don't know why. They meant and mean a lot to me, and i wish i stayed, but i didn't.

I felt the need to pull away, and to deal with my issues alone, and to see if i can manage on my own or I'm depending on them.

And then i did it. I filed for divorce, took my kid and left hell.

But i couldn't go back to my magic person. I don't know why.

I asked for some time to find myself, as i was, for the first time ever actually, free to do my own shit and be my own person. And i got my time.

I met someone. And it's weird to say, but all the transformations i had months prior were matched to this person. I have no idea why or how, but i found a really good soul and i wasn't gonna let go.

But that meant letting go of the other good soul. The soul that helped me rise from the darkness and the person that made me love me again.

Thank you. And I'm sorry. I couldn't have done anything without you. You literally changed my life and i am forever grateful and you have a special place in my heart.

During one of the first days of college freshman year I locked myself out of my dorm room when I was taking a shower. And all I had on was a towel. And in order to get access to my room I had to walk to a separate building to the housing office and get a temporary key card. A random girl on my hall who I had spoken to once lent me a t-shirt and shorts. I never really spoke to her again other than a “hi” and at this point I can’t remember her name or even what she looked like. But thank you. You saved me from having to walk across campus essentially naked and I am so grateful.

So I was heading home from school, I accidentally forgot to cross paths and I was scared I was going to get hit by a car and it was too late to turn back, I couldnt go on the grass as it was steep and it was raining.

So, a random white car pulled up beside me, and it only moved when I moved, I was glad as the vehicle move a bit to give me space, and it protected me from being hit by other cars,

As I said, it was rainy and my clothes blended with the terrain so I was very lucky to have a car shield me like that.

Again, thank you random car driver

Thank you to the lady that works at my college for helping me get in. TW/ I've been struggling with my mental health and attempted sewer slide earlier this year. I was supposed to finish my a course to get into my college but because of how much time I had left and what happened I emailed them and asked them for help. THIS ABSOLUTELY LEGEND OF A WOMEN changed my application type so I was a mature students and let me into the course. I'm so happy I could try.

So let’s see if I can make this short. I Served in the Army, and while I was in basic training, 9/11 happened. Sorry I am American, and think the world revolves around Merica. Lol After Basic Training, I was station in the airports. The stewardess and Pilots were alway over the top nice to us. After that I was moved around states side a bit, but then Uh-oh WMD’s in Iraq… …..

So we was sent to Iraq. For those that don’t know. We fly commercial… civilian flight attendants, Pilots and all that. yeah surprised me also.it was only my Company on the plane, no civilian so like a charter flight. I don’t even know what Airline, but we went from Virginia to Milan to Kuwait then drove to Iraq. We got there before we invaded. Well needless to say the day we flew out, we was all sad. We just said bye to our family and for a few it was the last time they got to hug their family. We all knew there was a chance it could be us. So we board the plane and shock face, smiling flight attendants greeting us. We all get set in and they are so full of joy. Before the plane took off, they told us how to surf down the isles with the safety pamphlets. They was made of hard plastic. So within the first 15 minutes of this flight, we are having the time of our lives. They engaged us and was laughing joking and playing around with everyone. Told us how to sneak beer at the lay over in Milan. Then we landed in Kuwait, and there demeanor changed. They were sad, but grateful.

Okay so a year later, we are flying back home. Sadly not all of us. We all wondered if we would get cool flight attendants again. We did! And more. They were from Prague( Non Americans, think about that) the first leg, and because me and 15 of my buddies loaded the plane, we got to sit Business class upstairs right by the cockpit, and had our own 3 private flight attendants. We was told no Alcohol on the flight… not like we could get any… unless those three badass FA brought some and they did. It was like a party in business class. When we landed in Prague they stayed behind and we was bummed until the next crew come up and said “we hear this is where the party is?!?” And they had Alcohol. We didn’t get sloppy but holy shit it was fun. The cock pit was left open (again no civilians) and we had a blast.

Going to Iraq was the worst experience (but I am proud of my service), but these FA gave me something to smile about. It sounds small, but depression and PTSD is real, and I have fought it like hell, and in my lowest points thinking about those FA and how they treated us always made me smile. The kicker, they all volunteered for those flights.

So If you are a flight attendant who volunteered for those flights thank you! You made a difference! And if you are a flight Attendant and a Veteran is treating you extra nice and seems very comfortable with you, he might just be reflecting back on those flights!

It’s my job to help and care for my patients. This week I had an amazing patient & by the end of our time she literally stuck her Hand in my pocket, when looking down to see what was going on this woman stuck cash in my scrubs. I paused and was completely unsure what even to say and she informed me to continue my job and she’s never say anything. I can’t help but feel bad and wanted to give it back but she refused to take it. I am overly grateful for this persons kindness, but deep down I feel bad because I’m here to help you and provide care for my patients. NEVER DO I EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN. I will forever remember this person and I hope to see them out in the real world one day.
