I was caught in the rain waiting to cross the street. A man walked up beside me and held his umbrella over my head while we waited to cross. IMMD.

AW! Chivalry is not dead.
Yay for kind strangers!
OMG, who (aside from a misogynist or uber-liberal feminist) would vote this DOWN???
Uber-liberal feminists wouldn’t vote this down. Only a douche would. lol
Agreed. Very, very nice!
Uber-liberal feminists = douche
Agreed! uber-liberal feminists believe in kindness! win.
…don’t take the up- and down-votes so seriously (a la YouTube thumbs). I think the thumbs here just mean this story is more or less important than a story they would choose the opposite for.
Hooray for common decency! I try to do the same, especially since I always seem to be the one with the umbrella on hand. I like this one! It’s a notch above the people who hold the doors for you, and it’s so refreshing!
Aw, this makes my day just thinking about it! That man is the definition of win.
Sometimes people dont like old fashioned things like this. Yesterday let a girl pass before me in the bus and she looked at she said “Meh, its the same”.
Some girls dont like gentlemen (?)
No, we like gentlemen. It’s just that we’ve become so accustomed to NOT having any gentlemanly actions. I’m always surprised to have a guy hold the door open for me – i think it’s nice.
Then again, some girls can be REALLY unappreciative.
One factor seems to be that sometimes (attractive?) girls are used to being treated nicely and have something of a “princess complex”, if you want to call it that.
Women who have a chip on their shoulder don’t like gentlemen, the rest of us do.
For some reason society is trying to get us to think that men holding a door open for a lady or letting her go first is a bad thing. I don’t get it.
And it’s nice to come across a story like this.
We need to hear more of these.
I don’t know, I think feminists would think, ” Damn’t you better put that umbrella over my head.
This website always gives me hope for humanity when I need it! Yay for random acts of kindness!
Little gestures from strangers can mean so much. I did something similar for another gal last year, and the smile she gave me was so heartwarming. ^n_n^
I did this the other day, then they turned and left… wonder if it was the same person…
I do this, and I’m a woman. I did this once for a woman with her five-year-old daughter while waiting for the cross-walk light. The woman seemed a little weirded out, but the little girl gave me this big grin.
“What is her motivation?” “What is she trying to get out of this?”
i love good deeds!
Anyone else think of Totoro?
That happened to me yesterday! Except I just so happened to be going to the same place as her, so she let me walk with her & we shared!
