Man Tells Off Woman At Movie Theater
Not all heroes wear capes, and this story shared on Reddit by the user BrainKatana is just a reminder that we should always step in when we feel like someone is not treated the way they deserve. The message he wants to share is that if you believe that being disabled makes someone less of a person, than you should be the one reconsidering the humanity in you.
He witnessed a woman insulting a disabled individual and decided to not let her off the hook but tell her off instead. And if you think this is just the right thing to do, have in mind that many people would simply look the other way. But not this guy. He knows that treating others with utmost respect is what makes this world go round and he wouldn’t settle for less.
“I was waiting in line to buy tickets at a movie theater, and there was a fellow in front of me with cerebral palsy (or MS, or some other horrible thing that puts you in a chair and messed up your body).
It was taking a while. I watched this guy struggle to open an envelope by holding it with his teeth and using his one functional hand.
I wasn’t sure what to do, or if offering to help would be insulting, so I just chilled.
He was doing it before the person in front of him was done with the cashier anyway, and it looked like he’d done this before.
He gets up to the counter and it takes him a minute to get out his Regal card and pay for the ticket.
The woman behind me started to make (loud) snide remarks about how ‘people like that shouldn’t be allowed to go to the movies.’
I was enraged. It was a kind of anger I’ve never experienced before.
At first I didn’t know what to do.
She said something else, and the fellow in front of me paused.
At that moment I turned around and said to her, ‘We should all be so lucky to wait in this line on our own two feet. Keep your disingenuous thoughts to yourself.’
The woman looked shocked and the guy behind me leaned over to his date and said, ‘Daaaaaaaaamn…’
His date was looking at me like she’d just splooshed her pants.
The woman behind me shut her mouth.
It took a moment longer for the guy to get to the counter, but when I got there the girl at the register said I could go to any movie I wanted, that the gentleman in front of me had paid for me and said, ‘Thanks.’
If you’re out there, disabled guy, I didn’t do it looking for a reward.
I did it because sometimes people are real asshats, and no one deserves to experience what you did today.
Thanks for the movie ticket, though. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was awesome.”

Father throws son through wall in drunken rage. Then, a cop changed the boy’s life forever
This is one of those stories that make you realize how little does it take for a life to change for the better. Often, we don’t even think of the effects and the consequences our actions have on people, and sometimes we fail to understand that even a small act of kindness can go a long way and bring light in someone’s darkness.
A man shares his life story and how he turned to be a different man than his abusive father only because of the cop who stepped in when they need it the most.
“When I was 8 years old, my father decided that it was time to amp up his drinking rage and beat the living hell out of my mother… again.
As this was customary, I usually hid in the basement with my little sister until the morning, but we had just had an assembly in school about how to use 911 for help if anything bad was happening.
I dialed 911, I don’t remember speaking to anyone, but I left the phone off the hook and then tried to stand in front of my mother.
I went through a wall right after she did.
A short time later two cops busted through the door… probably after seeing my mother and I on the ground and my father screaming, and I remember my father squaring up with the cops, and I remember my father leaving in the squad car as the ambulance came for us.
I remember the cop came to the hospital, did his report thing, gave my sister a teddy bear and that was it.
My father finally was out of our life after my mother had the guts and the police report to get an order of protection, then file for divorce and went out and got a job.
I for the first time in my little life got to sign up for little league. I did not have any friends outside of school and I was excited to meet people but was shy as hell.
I do not know how little league works these days, but when I was a kid (I am now mid 30’s) there was a “try out” in a big gym with all the kids in the league for a few hours where the coaches would all evaluate the kids and try to handicap teams with the same level of talent. I had… none. My extent of baseball was having a mitt my mother got me and trying to throw a baseball in the air and catch it myself. I was beside myself with how bad I sucked.
We went home, and of course I knew I was going to be on a team, but I figured I would just ride the bench and or be a bother. First day of my teams practice my mother takes me to the field, we get our tshirts for the team and pants, and meet the team and… the coach was the cop that arrested my father.
He never said anything, he never treated me any different from anyone else, he never approached my mother or anything, but he did orchestrate the other guys on the team and I to be in social situations together so I could make friends. That short summer through being picked on a baseball team and having a coach that cared completely changed my life. I wasn’t scared that my father was going to show up because the cop that arrested him was my coach. At the end of the season, probably because all the kids on the team begged him, he brought his squad car to the last game and let all of us have a turn sitting in the drivers seat and hitting the buttons.
I asked him if one day I could be a cop like him, he told me that I would be a good cop. Looking back, its pretty funny.
At 17, my mother was grinding two jobs trying to make ends meet so I graduated high school early and enlisted. Got out of active duty, joined the national guard… and went to college… got out of college went to Iraq for army stuff… and took a police test with the same department that serviced the area that I used to live in growing up.
10 years later, the cop that changed our lives was retiring, and I went to his office and asked if he remembered me.
He smiled and said “I told you you would be a good cop.” I was also interviewing for a special unit that he was in charge of… WHICH I DID NOT GET… but hey, there is always next time.
I look at my wife and kid and house and everything I have and it comes down to an 8 year old boy that was scared of everything having a cop that cared as a little league coach.
Dance group Autism With Attitude gets standing ovation
Talent shows have to be the most entertaining programs on TV. Every week, we see amazing talents unfolding in front of our eyes, and many times what people have to put on stage is simply mesmerizing and takes our breath away. However, with so many different performances taking place in America’s Got Talent, The X-Factor, or The Greatest Dancer, we have to agree that impressing the panel of strict judges isn’t at all an easy task. Why? Because it looks as though they have already seen it all. However, every now and then, someone with exquisite skills decides to try their luck and their performance is so powerful that they quickly become country’s sweethearts.
The Greatest Dancer airs on BBC and it gathers more and more viewers every week. Recently, a very special group that stole the attention of the nation took place in the competition. The dancing group Autism With Attitude is the reason why all eyes are on the show.
The concept of this show, which is hosted by singer Alesha Dixon and judges Matthew Morrison of Glee fame, Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse, and platinum-selling singer Cheryl, is quite different from everything you’ve seen so far.
It sees dancers of any age and dance style compete to win £50,000 and a chance to perform on Strictly Come Dancing. Many talented dancers got their chance to show the world what they do best, but it seems like the members of Autism With Attitude really stood out and stole everyone’s heart. They appeared on the fourth week of the series.
One interesting aspect of the show is that the decision whether someone goes to the next round is in the hands of the audience. They are the ones who have the final word, so the competitors should try to impress them. If 75% of the audience love the performance, they vote to open the secret mirror, a portal to the next stage of the competition.
The group of kids on the Autism spectrum did their best to get the chance to open their path to their dreams and we have to say we simply love their routine.
The group’s members all have attended the same school and now work along with their dance coach Jonathan who is very supportive of what they do. A mom of one of the dancers spoke about the goals of these aspiring young people and it brought tears to everyone’s eyes. She said:
“They just want to prove to everyone that, regardless of your abilities and your capabilities, that you can achieve anything.”
They presented an amazing hip-hop dancing choreography involving some crazy moves. The audience loved it so much that they received standing ovation and a loud applause. Needless to say, the crowd was more than happy to open the mirror for this group. They are now one step closer to fulfilling their dreams.
Take a look at their stunning performance in the video below.
Woman overhears old man say 9 words in Dollar Tree, knows she has to take picture
Love conquers all. We as humans strive to find a soulmate we would spend our whole life with. Unfortunately, not many are lucky to share their every day with that one person who would be by their side for bad and for worse. That is why whenever we hear of a couple being together for more than 20, 30, or more years, we know those people belong to that group of the lucky ones.
The following story is so heartwarming it will make you reconsider the true values of life.
As Louisa Lenore McKinney was shopping for some wrapping paper at her local Dollar Tree she witnessed an unusual sight unfolding right in front of her. An elderly man was at the store and he needed help finding what he was looking for. At one moment, he approached a young lady and asked: “Mam, would you mind helping me out with something?” The woman replied how she was more than happy to help.
The man said: “I need help picking out a birthday card.”
“Who is it for?” the woman asked.
“It’s for me, if I wake up tomorrow, I’ll be 85.
My wife wanted to get me something, but she’s very sick and cannot leave the house, and I want her to know I got a birthday card from her.”
The man and his wife have been together their whole life. He told the lady how they fell in love when they were both just teenagers. And now, after so much time, they still wouldn’t leave each other’s side no matter what.
Louisa was deeply touched by what that man had to say. She later wrote:
“It was the picture of love you only read about. I felt so privileged to get to hear this conversation. Melted my heart. Hope you all enjoy.”
However, this story doesn’t end there. The lady who offered to help turned out to be a restaurant owner. She told her new acquaintance that he and his sick wife are welcome to her place whenever they want.
It’s amazing how a random encounter can trigger so many emotions. Love is the strongest force on earth and we should do our best to keep it alive whenever we get the chance to experience it.
Sand artist earns The Golden Buzzer on America’s got Talent The Champions
Talent shows such as World of Dance, X-Factor, and America’s Got Talent are so popular among the people because they stand for something real, for a dream come true, and a chance for common people to shine and show the world how they are not really that ordinary.
Standing in front of the judges who are paid to be brutally honest with the competitors about what is good or bad about their performance takes courage. Knowing how millions of people are watching you taking the stage takes self-confidence, and if you want to end up as a winner, than it takes both.
The America’s Got Talent: The Champions‘ series features finalists, winners, and other contestants who made a strong impression. Kseniya Simonova from Ukraine, who describes herself as “a mother by day and an artist by night” is one of the contestants.
Ten years ago, she won the title of Ukraine’s Got Talent and now her out-of-this-world skills helped her win the Golden Buzzer. This way, she assured her spot in the next round of the competition. The story that unfold in front of the eyes of everyone present through her mesmerizing sand art triggered positive reactions among the judges and the crowd.
Before she illustrated the story using sand, she gave quick introduction. She was about to “draw” the life of a boy who grew up to become a famous artist but somehow forgot about his parents along the way. He realized he made a mistake only when it was too late to fix anything. Kseniya started her show by drawing a galaxy and then a pregnant mother, her husband, and later their newborn baby. She proceeded by drawing the boy, now older, reading a book and later holding a palette and painting on a canvas.
The story ended by the famous artist staying near his father’s hunched body later turned into a gravestone. The deep message of the story touched the hearts of the four judges and the audience. It made everyone realize that nothing in this world is more important than the family. No matter where life gets you, you should never forget where you come from.
Kseniya Simonova used her talent to send a powerful message. This left many in tears and made them reach to their parents only to remind them how much they love them.
Take a look at this talented woman’s performance. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen so far.
Little girl was expecting cookies but she got this instead
Members of the military don’t have it easy. Many of them end up deployed away from home and from their loved ones. It happens that they miss lots of important events such as holidays, family gatherings, birthdays, and even the birth of their children. They do all this for the sake of the ordinary people like you and me. And we should always be beyond grateful for the sacrifice they make.
However, we have to agree that the best part of serving in the army is the reunion with the family. These encounters are always emotional and involve tears of joy.
One little girl’s father was away for too long and she couldn’t wait for him to get back home. Being aware of this, her father decided to send her a gift from abroad. The cutie pie was overly excited believing she got the cookies she loves so much. But it turned out this surprise was way sweeter than that.
Maci missed her father so much that she had a doll named ‘Daddy Doll.’ This huggable toy would always be by the girl’s side making sure she’s safe from the monsters hiding under her bed.
One day, Maci’s mom asked her to come down and check out the gift her daddy sent her. Having the doll cradled in her arm, she was in anticipation to get what she believed were sweet cookies. Running down the stairs barefoot, wearing the cutest pink dress with her blond hair in a bun, she started walking around the room looking for the sweet surprise.
Her mom told her to get outside and check whether the gift was there. Maci ran towards the front door and opened it in excitement.
She was a bit puzzled once she noticed that huge box on the doorstep. What could it be? If that’s cookies, there have to be lots of them inside. Was it something else? Well, she just had to unwrap the box and see it for herself.
Her mommy helped her rip the wrapping off, and then asked her little girl:
“Can you knock on it? Say ‘Cookies.'”
Maci knocked on the box and was eagerly waiting for some sweets when her father, dressed in his uniform, got out of it. He greeted his sweet daughter who screamed and fell on her butt. It was the ultimate surprise.
The two kissed and firmly hugged each other, and when he asked Maci whether she liked the surprise she answered with a resounding yes.
We are sure she wasn’t mad she didn’t get any cookies because we know her daddy would get her as much as she wants now the two are together again.

The BEST best man speech by a seven year old
The wedding day is finally here and everyone is excited to be part of the very special event that celebrates the true love and that happily ever after we are all striving for. The groom is waiting for his loved one to walk down the aisle into his arms and stay there forever. The stunning bride is eager to say the wedding wows and promise to love and to cherish her husband until eternity.
This is pretty much what all weddings are about, and attending one brings joy in everyone’s heart. But, when we think about it, for this day to be perfect a lot of people should be taking part in the organization. However, out of all those involved, the maid of honor and the best man have the most special roles. They go above and beyond just to make sure the newly weds get the day of their dreams. And as the bride’s best friend is handling stressful situations and people, as well as going through all the fittings and other decisions making processes, the best man is there to support the groom and give the “killer speech” that would make everyone laugh and get emotional at the same time.
A groom named Nick knew exactly who would perfectly fit the role of a best man on his wedding day: his 7-year-old son Vincent.
The boy probably didn’t do any planning regarding the bachelor party, but the speech this charmer gave was so out of the ordinary that we are sure you haven’t heard anything sweeter.
Although many expected Vincent to experience sort of stage fright, he acted as though this was something he did countless of times before. Pretty confident in himself, he took the microphone in his hand and presented his speech which was an engaging mix of jokes, lovely anecdotes, and well wishes. This made his father and his stepmother Lauren very emotional.
Using sweet instances, Vincent talked about how much of a superhero his dad was for him.
“Every real superhero needs a sidekick, and that’s me. And every TRUE superhero needs a pretty girl by his side, and that’s Lauren. In my opinion, we make an unstoppable team.”
These are truly remarkable words coming from someone so young. The guests were left with tears in their eyes. They cried and laughed at the same time as young Vincent raised the bar.
The ending was most hilarious of all as handsome Vincent proposed a toast and politely refused the glass of water he was offered. He did give his daddy a huge hug and a high-five at the end which was a sweet father-son moment.
We are sure both Nick and Lauren are happy to have such a loving young boy who loves them so much by their side.
