In the video, an Uber trip starts off normally. The driver, a female, asks, "Are you doing okay?" and the passenger replies, "I am."
But when the driver says, "that's really great," and punches the steering wheel, the passenger also shouts, "Aahh."
Both are shocked and then the passenger exclaims, "Oh my god, you have Tourette's too?"
They both joyfully realise they share the same condition.
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder characterised by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalisations known as tics. These tics can be motor (like blinking or head jerking) or vocal (such as grunting or repeating words).
They then have a playful moment, making animal noises and discussing their positive attitudes.
The driver says, "I'm so glad you have such a great attitude about it," and the passenger replies, "I just think that life is too short to take seriously."
How did people react?
In the comments, people appreciated the warmth of the conversation. One user remarked, "It's funny how the chat flows: 1 - 'I have fleas' 2 - woman starts scratching like a dog 3 - 'but I don't have ticks' 4 - woman begins barking 5 - man starts meowing 6 - 'Mr. Claws?' 7 - 'Fingernails.'"
Others mentioned they would love to see a TV show featuring both of them.
Although the date of the video is unknown, but their heartfelt interaction and shared humor left viewers smiling.
