In reply to the discussion: Anonymous Customer Gives Waitresses $15,000 Tip After Overhearing Their Conversation [View all]toby jo
(1,269 posts)15. Many years ago I was 'god'
I had a paper route in Akron, OH, early mornings, maybe 4-6 a.m. It was Jan., & I saw a woman walking down the road, so I picked her up, it was COLD out. She said she forgot her wallet, and was on her way to pick up her son or something, and ran out of gas, so I drove her home. She said god sent me to be there.
And all I could think was where was your god when you went out the door at 4 in the morning on a cold Jan day without your goddamn wallet?
Selective godding, I call it.
Nice of the woman to drop a tip like that. I'm glad she was moved.
