Throwaway account here.

I am a 40 something year old man who was sitting on the park bench in David Lam park on Saturday a was complete mess. My partner is leaving me. I feel broken, lost and alone. I messed up and there is no saving the relationship. I was waiting for her to come out of the bathroom to continue the conversation with her.

You saw me sitting there, looking like a mess, and sat down to see what we going on. Despite saying I was fine, you sat down and rubbed my back and told me whatever was going on, it'll be ok. She came out of the bathroom, so I had to leave right away.

You didn't have to do that. You have never seen or met me before. You showed kindness to somebody who feels he deserves none. If you are here, I want to say, I truly appreciate your act of kindness to a random stranger who is in a lot of pain.

Thank you. You are a good person.

In the spirit of all those “thank you stranger” posts, I want to give a huge shoutout to the awesome person who stopped to report a hit-and-run they saw happen to my jeep.

I came out one morning to find my jeep damaged after a night parked on the street, and I was pretty devastated that nobody had left a note (so rude). But a couple of days later, I got a call from ICBC saying a witness had come forward, and the driver was found at fault ... which means I don’t have to pay my deductible.

So thank you, kind stranger! 🙌

... and just a note for anyone who doesn’t know, if you ever witness an accident, you can report it online in just a few minutes through ICBC: https://www.icbc.com/claims/report-view/witness-please-call

Lucky spotting in the park. Vancouver really does constantly surprise me.

While the cause is currently unknown, there is NO service to the station.

ALL BUS SERVICES ARE DIVERTING TO MOODY CENTER.

What kind of clouds are these?

It sunk.

From this angle it seems like the new architecture is respectfully sheltering the old building.

Shook me up

Beautiful place to be.

First time seeing one of these ‘guys’ close to Jericho - was gazing right around the lower Jericho Hill Centre

Hello, I was hit by a car running a stop sign while on my skateboard on the intersection of Union and Campbell street. A cyclist helped me check my appendages for any damage, but in the heat of the moment, I forgot to get their contact information as a witness. Another fellow who lived on that intersection gave me a cup of water as well.

I'm not sure how useful this will be, but would there be anyone here who witnessed the accident?

Thanks!
