For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Seen this too much...

[–]collegedropout 25 points26 points ago

Here's a similar story that's not a repost. I work at a coffee shop, yes I know my username makes it even funnier but I've since returned back to school at 27 to finish my degree. Anyway, a customer came in every now and then and I would just chat and smile like usual. He was having a hard time but never really talked about it, you could just tell. One day he came in and asked me if I'd be there the next day and he wanted to give me something. He returned to give me a card with $100 in it. He told me his dad had been sick and died in the time he was coming into the shop and that I always brightened his day when he saw me. He said he was successful and believed in paying it forward and knew I had returned to school and was saving money working two jobs so he wanted to offer me a little reward for being kind and working hard. It was quite amazing.

My own mother had died only a couple months before and he didn't know. When I was a teenager my mom would from time to time offer me a little money to go out and have fun, $20 here and there. It kind of felt like that. I still have the money, I am saving it for when I really need it.

              Someone should make a novelty account and post only this image on an interval. You'll see the poster has like 50,000 link karma and you'll look to see their other submissions; it will be only this.
              Then again it probably wouldn't work as you would be competing with the dozens of other people constantly posting this.
              My major gripe is that I keep seeing it on the front page. You would think the masses would downvote it off of the front; guess not.

                  Look for this in all of these posts. I'm surprised they still make it to the front.

                  [–]soren_grey 30 points31 points ago

                  As somebody who works in a restaurant, I have to say that the customers sign the wrong copy about half of the time... so...

                  [–]NotMyBike 3 points4 points ago

                  Also looks like the server is Micheal but OP's username implies his name is likely Ben. But that's a bit of a stretch and these might not be accurate assumptions or relevant.

                  Edit: I'm sort of an idiot, oops. Was just further pointing out that OP wasn't the one receiving the generous tip, which is still the case, just not for the reason I pointed out.

                  [–]TheRealChizz 1 point2 points ago

                  Sorry for my ignorance but what's the customer copy and why is it hidden?

                  [–]aerosol999 5 points6 points ago

                  you get two copies of ht receipt. One you sign and give back to the server. One is yours to keep. They are identical except on the bottom one says customer copy and the other says store copy or something similar.

                  As you can see here the bottom is folded over and it could easily be the customer copy that someone just wrote on.

                  [–]MirrorPuncher 1 point2 points ago

                  Isn't the "I AGREE TO COMPLY" part there because it requires a signature? If I remember correctly in the customer copy the signature line and the "I AGREE" part aren't even there, it just says "CUSTOMER COPY".

                  [–]HurricaneMaker 1 point2 points ago

                  This copy has the 'I agree to comply with...' generic statement that comes before the line for customer's to sign the merchant copy. The customer copy doesn't contain this line. It would appear that the reason it is folded over is to prevent us from identifying the customer's signature, and not because the original photographer was being a sneaky snake.

                  Everyone always has to pull an Eeyore though!

                  [–]Itza420 0 points1 point ago

                  Nobody gives a shit which copy you sign, they just want your money. I worked in the service industry for the better part of a decade at corporations who nit picked everything. This was never an issue.

                    [–]Gourtox 17 points18 points ago

                    Steps to a random act of kindness(a RAK for short):

                    1. Get a die

                    2. Roll Die

                    3. Pay tip equal to die roll times ten

                    For example: Rolls a 1; pays $10

                    [–]letsplaaay 4 points5 points ago

                    A random act of kindness following a discrete uniform distribution with a mean of 35 dollars and standard deviation of 17.08 dollars.

                    [–]sloaninator 2 points3 points ago

                    But what if that $10 is less than 15% of a tip, that's not an act of kindness at all.

                        That is the problem with humans, they think round numbers cannot be random. That is how you can always figure out which is random and which isn't, random samples will include both round numbers and groups of closely associated numbers. A random sampling of numbers could include 5,6,7,8,10,11. A human would never pick those as 'random' because they will think it isn't random. A true random sample could easily include all of those numbers.

                          It was the kindest and most empathetic $2.50 I've ever received.

                            The bottom is folded down "presumably" to hide the personally identifying signature. Of course there are other possible reasons.

                                Hey guys now you can BUY your way on the front page. Go tip your servers or bartenders $100 or $200 and take a picture of it. Don't stop doing it until you reach the front page.

                                        Question to servers: does this actually work for credit cards? I thought that a CC company would only approve something like 35% on top of the initial authorization.

                                        One time I got a $20 tip on a $30 bill. All I had to do was get a manager to approve it at the end of the night, to see that it was real. He called it a "baller swipe!"

                                        I support this endeavor, but PLEASE DO IT IN CASH. most card readers will only take so much as a tip- I lost a good tip one time from. kindly woman. Her entire floor bought sandwiches (like 8 different orders) and she tipped for all of them- pretty well. She has a 5 dollar order and a 15 dollar tip. I could only get a 5 dollar adjustment from the machine.

                                        OP's karmawhoring aside, if I wanted to do something like this myself, would it be more beneficial to leave a large tip by paying with credit card or cash? Because I worked in the kitchen of a restaurant, so I know waiters/waitresses usually have to report tips, but I don't know how that works.

                                        too bad you won't get the tip. It was added after purchase and is more than the cost of the tab, so the machine won't let you add a tip amount worth more than the actual meal. It's a safety measure.

                                        So there are no more random acts of kindness? Some random guy stopped me in front of baskin robbins to buy his wife who was a "diabetic " some food. I dont hesitate for a second and let him order he then proceeds to order a large smoothie @ $9 I say "no way medium! " and he tacks on a wadfle cone for himself, I was being kind but I felt like he was just taking advantage and being rude at that point........ I just wanted to throw that story out there.

                                        Friend of mine started this sort of crowd sourced recovery network for waiters and waitresses affected by Superstorm (word?) Sandy in lower Manhattan. Clever idea and back by good sentiment. Because they were closed for so long during the storm, essentially the normal wait staff lost quite a bit of income due to lack of customers (tips). The idea is to eat downtown, now that they're open, and tip double to help them regain some of their lost wages. Thought this may be the appropriate place for this http://www.eatdowntipup.com/

                                        so someone's son died and to compensate for their sadness they tip some random server $50 and some random stranger finds the story and becomes rewarded with internet points.

                                        is that what's going on here?

                                        what does it say about our society that it takes money to brighten someone's day - not a genuine compliment or a heartfelt thanks?

                                        ps - don't intend to be a dick, but thought i just had to say what i felt. sorry.

                                        Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you should spend some of that money on a manicure...

                                        Either these people do this for waiters at restaurants every so often or this is just stolen from the internets, because I have seen this exact photo more than once.

                                        This is nice on one note, yet on another terribly sad

                                        Too bad that tip goes in a pool and not all towards that particular waiter.

                                        Hmm. I feel like I would vacillate between feelings of remorse and guilt and shed one alligator tear for every purchase I made until $50 had been spent. Tear through the Grant, OP.

                                        The strange thing is, my brother, Joel, passed away recently. Huh. My mother'd handwriting is a lot like that. What a coincidence!

                                        $8232? Quite the total!

                                        My old church college group leader does something similar to this. His mother died of cancer a few years back and as a way of honoring her, he made these "random acts of kindness" cards with her picture, name and a paragraph about her life. He would do random acts of kindness like this and leave the person the card. A beautiful way to honor someone.

                                        I made a delivery to someones house while we were catching the tip if storm sandy out here in Michigan, and he gave me a 20 dollar tip on a 23 dollar order. So I say to him "What do you need back, 17, 18?", and he goes "No man its all yours, its nasty out there."

                                        I shook his hand and said thank you you made my week.

                                        This legitimately happened to me last Thursday night. Here's mine: http://i.imgur.com/k6fTs.jpg?1.

                                        If you can believe it, it was actually my second $100 tip this week, but I forgot to take a picture of the first one. I was blown away. It was a truly incredible feeling.
