Man lets stranger have car parking space and ticket.

A car windscreen with a parking ticket in it. Reflected in the window is a tree with several yellow and orange leaves left on it.

“I was running late to my covid vaccination and the tiny car park was full and to get out I needed to reverse onto busy main road to get out.

As I was turning around I noticed an old guy with a dog at the entrance to car park. I thought he was stopping traffic so I could reverse out so I rolled the window down to thank him and he said he was waiting for his wife who would be out in a couple of mins and said he’d reverse out so I could have the space and he waited in the car park.

He then also passed over his ticket which had over an hour left on it.”

What a kindness superhero that man is – big thank you to the anonymous person who sent this in!
