We’re currently in the season of giving, spreading joy, and being positive overall. Though realistically, we should be trying to spread kindness and generosity all throughout the year. A recent Reddit post reminds us not only to be kind, but to own up to any mistakes or accidents we might cause.
In the Reddit post, which was uploaded to the Humans Being Bros community by a user named westcoastcdn19, a woman sends a message to her neighbor from their Ring camera, confessing to her dog having broken one of their outdoor Christmas decorations. She also leaves a $20 bill to cover the cost of a replacement.

The Original Post Consists Of A Video.
The Video Stands At About A Half Minute Long.
In it, the woman approaches the front door where the neighbor’s Ring camera is located. She holds out a broken candy cane ornament in one hand, with the other in her pocket. “I’m so sorry, I was just walking my dog and his leash got caught in one of your candy canes and he broke it,” she says. “I’m sure it was expensive. I’m gonna leave a $20 here in the nice flower pot.” She then tells the neighbor where they can find her if it’s not enough money (which was cut out of the clip for privacy), and then apologizes one more time.
This amazing act of kindness touched the hearts of thousands of Redditors. Having been uploaded earlier this week, the post has amassed over 70,000 upvotes.
Commenters Were Absolutely Amazed By The Woman’s Generosity.
Though she seemed to think the ornament was probably quite expensive, there’s a good chance it cost much less than $20. Still, commenters were very impressed with the woman’s forthright honesty and willingness to own up to a complete accident. We could all definitely learn a thing or two from her.
Some Hoped The Homeowners Gave The Woman Her Money Back.
Sometimes, honesty is its own reward. Other times, you should get rewarded for being so honest. Many commenters believed that the woman in the video deserved to get her cash back, simply because she did something that very few of us would even think to do. Luckily, it seems that she did.
In Fact, The User Who Posted The Video Provided An Update In The Comments.
The user is not the original homeowner to which this happened. But, they updated commenters by letting everyone know that the original owner did track the woman down, gave back the money, and sent the woman and her dog a small thank-you gift. Talk about good karma!
