It is always a good idea to be kind to strangers, but sadly, not everyone knows how to respond to such generosity appropriately.
Stuart Jeffery, a 35-year-old from Toronto, Canada, experienced firsthand what it was like to be fat-shamed after showing kindness to a homeless man.
Jeffrey, who goes by the TikTok username @janikon_, has since gotten over 1.7 million views for his viral video where he explained his unexpected encounter. He said, "I just got back from McDonald¡¯s where I went to get a coffee and a Sausage McMuffin with no McMuffin [...]. There was a homeless guy sitting outside. He was like, ¡®Can you spare me some change?¡¯¡±
?I was like, 'I can't, I have no change, but if you want me to get you some food, I'm more than happy to'."So he's like, 'sure, can I get coffee with two creams and a Big Mac' and I was like 'anything on the Big Mac or Is everything okay?' He's like 'everything is fine'.[he cracks up]
"So, I get my food and his food. I'm handing it to him. I'm like, 'have a great day', and he goes 'just in the future, a word of advice - I would lay off to McDonald's'.He continued: "The worst part is, I was fat-shamed for doing a good deed."
Obviously, Stu clearly found it hilarious as he kept laughing throughout, and many others have managed to see it that way, too.
Stu took this very lightly and we love that he didn't take things way too seriously.?
