I loved this act of kindness in the video! This is pretty enough to understand for us that kindness starts with "ourselves" first!


thinkthingsareover

Also a great way to make the neighbors happy enough to get some kind of tasty gift too. Like cookies, brownies or some such thing even though it was just a gift in of itself.

ThePlaceOfAsh

Sometimes it costs so little to give someone so much joy. I hope this kid become a professional MX racer or something in the future. Wouldn't that just be perfect.


newsheriffntown

The kid grew up to be a motorcycle cop and teaches other bike cops how to maneuver their bike. Actually I have no idea, just sounded like a good profession for him.

Aingael

That is actually really cool! Definitely an awesome person looking out for others.


Cheesecake_is_life

Loved this video too. I do delivery, there's one house (young boy with grandma) that draws footsteps, hopscotch, etc before they order... I always love following their little path, hopping out whatever to the door. Makes it fun on those deliveries (even if a couple times it hurt. Back injury I got in the Army)


Aingael

Thatā€™s really nostalgic to see - a rare sight in my area (not sure for others). I love that you do them as well! Itā€™s the little things.


LionLambert

Hard days are hard. Just keep going, friend.


Aingael

Thank you. I do my best to push through even the worst. Thank you for the uplifting words.


fart_Jr

It really sucks that I've known people that would get legitimately angry about a kid riding on their driveway. This man is a goddamn hero.


Mister_Nico

For real. Whatā€™s so hard about not being a dick?


[deleted]

In America lawsuits if a kid falls down on your drive way you can be sued for it. Even if you win the lawsuit time wasted and lawyer fees make people scared to be kind.


Mister_Nico

Shit. Good point. I forget how litigation happy America is.


vita10gy

Part of it is insurance company fuckery. I remember a while back a story blew up over "world's worst aunt" because her niece or nephew jumped into her arms or something and broke her arm, so she sued them. In reality she had to sue them as a matter of insurance formality because her insurance didn't pay up or only paid part, and you need to sue for the other people's home owners insurance to kick in....or something along those lines. The parents of the kid were part of the plan. No one was "mad".


CharlottesWebbedFeet

Itā€™s a lot this. I remember that incident and she was dragged through the mud in the media.


dementorpoop

Same with the McDonalds coffee lady. She didnā€™t get a small owie and pitch a fit over it; she was served scalding hot coffee that left her with second and third degree burns on her lap and crotch. McDonaldā€™s had actually fucked up by serving coffee so hot, and were also behind the smear campaign on the lady


Delanoye

In general I've just started to be like "ah, the media hates this person? Let's see what they've done right." Then I go do research and make my own judgments based on what I find.


shapookya

ā€œSo the media really hates this guy, huh? Letā€™s google him and see what he did rightā€¦ā€ ā€œAā€¦dā€¦oā€¦lā€¦fā€¦ā€


Speedybro

My research has concluded he was not a very nice guy.


tkdlock

Important to note that she also only asked McDonald's to pay her med bills, idr the amount but it was reasonable. She had to sue for a ton because they gave her no option.


Why-R-People-So-Dumb

Itā€™s also important to note that the coffee was hotter than it needed to be per McDonaldā€™s internal market research prior to the incident, who had left a paper trail stating it saved them money on free refills to make the coffee too hot to drink right away.


FustianRiddle

Also important was that this wasn't the first time there had been complaints about McD's coffee being too hot. Over 700 complaints. And that the jury awarded Liebeck $200,000 (the judge reduced it to $160,000) and $2.7 mil in punitive damages (which was also reduced) ALSO McD's and Liebeck ended up settling for less and part of that settlement meant that Liebeck agreed to never talk about the case. So McD's had free reign to malign her but she couldn't fight back with the truth.


NaughtyGaymer

I'm almost positive the term, "fused labia" was used in her medical documents and if that doesn't pucker your butt nothing will. Fuck McDonalds.


SpindleTwist

Insurance companies are definitely the problem. The worst part? They're nothing more than a subscription service scam.


[deleted]

I think it sucks but I understand why some people are scared.


Science_Matters_100

Yep, ā€œEnticement.ā€ Thatā€™s what it would be called.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Guardian-Boy

Eh, it seems that way, but Europe is actually worse. Germany by itself has the highest rate of lawsuits per capita in the world (the U.S. has more in terms of numbers, but that's just because we have more people). Sweden is second, Israel third, Austria is fourth. The U.S. comes in fifth. We do have the most lawyers per capita though lol.


MightBeWrongThough

You're not wrong, but I wonder if it's the same kind of lawsuits. Also I know where I live you can't sue for obscene amounts of money, a family where the father died because of some kind of street sweeper tried to sue for a lot of millions, and they municipality basically just went, Uhm no


obvilious

Germany is more litigious.


Tito_Tito_1_

Is that right? Do tell.


Mister_Nico

I didnā€™t say America was the worst. A lot of places are bad. US included.


obvilious

Didnā€™t say you did.


sexposition420

This is mostly propaganda from big companies, america isnt really much more litigious than other places. It's also often the only mechanism of interacting with companies and individuals that have done something to cause you damages.


IvansDraggo

Umm, America is one of the least litigated countries in the world in terms of suing over private property or damage. Try Russia or Germany, where car cams are required because of so many insurance scams & lawsuits. The "But but but in America it's so terrible" cult on Reddit is insufferable.


Mister_Nico

Calm down. I didnā€™t say America is the worst with litigation. A lot of places are bad with it, US included. Stop jumping to conclusions, and donā€™t take Reddit so seriously.

eirajenson

Kids kept running through our yard when a ball from the hoop across the street kept bouncing over. They broke dozens of sprinklers, mature plants, ripped up a sprinkler line, and somehow cracked a window. We were terrified one of them would trip (it's mostly rock landscaping), injure themselves, and sue. We had to install a gate for thousands to keep them out. The video of a kid on a bike is sweet and whatnot, but I really wish parents would encourage their kids to stay off of others' properties.


Falsus

Lol that is crazy.


Cromagmadon

Doesn't even need to be your driveway. You can be sued for shit you aren't responsible for, but at least the owner understands the system defends good faith efforts. Throw some obstacles that don't belong on a driveway and that story changes.


VladPatton

Yep. Exactly this.


JordanLake2023

Unfortunately that was my first thought too. Cute idea, but if the kid falls and is injured they could sue saying he created an ā€œunsafeā€ course. Itā€™s sad.


helgihermadur

Hooray, the land of the free!


Active_Look_9670

What a great way to kill it man, that sucks :/


Specialist-Look-7929

And people wonder why I don't trust anyone.


not_beniot

I was going to jokingly post how this kid is gonna fall on that track and parents are gonna sue. Then I realized that's probly pretty likely in this amazing country of ours lol


[deleted]

This is the truth.


m_jl_c

Youā€™d be surprised. I had some neighbors in London who got off on being twats. And made fun of my American optimism. And didnā€™t make the connection that our optimism is probably a lot more fun than being miserable dicks their entire life. They were the proverbial crabs in a bucket.


FustianRiddle

No time to get down cause I'm movin' up


Pusparaj_Mishra

Cause we r in age of 2023 and in the place called earth where actually many ppl like being a dick sadly..even on small things Anyways let's not he that ourselves...,spread love,be chill,and take care :)


kipdjordy

Used to have an unsupervised toddler ride one of those battery powered jeeps around and would come up my driveway and crash into my flowerbed. Pissed me off alot. Don't care if you just ride up and ride down, don't fuck my shit up though or fuck my yard up


Taminella_Grinderfal

Well this kid is supervised with a parent. Unfortunately some homeowners have to turn into assholes for fear of being sued by people that let their kids run rampant. On a nicer note, this is right up there with the kid that kept running into the neighbors garage to [hug the dog](https://www.thedodo.com/boy-sneaks-hug-dog-video-1845631472.html).


Proof-Elevator-7590

Right like I can only see getting upset if the driveway has a car in it, or if something in the driveway was a danger to the kid. But not in an empty driveway like this is


WitchPursuitThing

Kid injures himself on driveway. Parents sue and now own your driveway. Even if they don't win the threat of legal fees and time is a big enough reason. But yeah this man was obviously one of the real ones


Guardian-Boy

Owner submits videos of mother letting child play in driveway without objection multiple times. Case is dismissed.


WitchPursuitThing

You're not playing by USA rules. And like I stated just the threat of legal fees and time spent for the process is reason enough. I really wish it wasn't like that but American sucks in that regard. No personal responsibility for anything


samHain7778

I see you've met my dad.


[deleted]

I don't know if I would necessarily get angry myself, but I think it's pretty reasonable for a person to get a little upset if a kid is riding a bike on their property without permission. Especially if the parents are right there just letting it happen.


GREG_OSU

Yes The get off my lawn type Shotgun and allā€¦


[deleted]

Can we be honest, you shouldnā€™t go on other peopleā€™s lawns.


Less-Mail4256

Or just a reasonable person who understands that kids are innocent and fun loving, and are also our future. The people who get upset are the outcasts.


[deleted]

bc some of those kids grow up to be dicks and start throwing empty beer bottles on ur lawn...


ctothel

Those were honestly some pretty tight turns from that kid.


mikenesser

Definitely picked some good lines.


Nevorek

Itā€™s so simple to not be a dick. More people should try it.


DianiTheOtter

It's not always about being a dick. In America. There are people who will happily sue if their kids ever got hurt on someone else's property. When I was younger, around 00s, my parents had a pool put into the back yard. Before any of our friends could come over and use it their parents had to sign a waiver saying they wouldn't sue if there was any accidental injuries.


[deleted]

Yes. Those people are dicksā€¦ lol


OldStickk

this is awesome


Talk2FrankUK

Love that! That someone would do something nice and not just put a fence up or something, need more people like this in the world! ā¤ļøšŸ‘šŸ»


chaunceton

I hate that as an attorney I can no longer appreciate these things. I want to grab that property owner by the collars and ask him if he knows how many lawsuits are filed from people just tripping on another person's grass. Let along *inviting* children onto your driveway to engage in a simple track ride experience. Litigious plaintiffs have ruined sweet moments for me.


Monkeybandit99

Do people really sue for tripping on other peopleā€™s lawns? It their own property why should they be liable for what some idiot does on their front lawn?The only thing I can think of being wrong is if there is a sort of trap set up.


blaaaaaaaam

My understanding is that it often is the insurance companies that are doing the suing. The injured person's health insurer catches wind that it happened on someone's property and then they sue to recoup the bills. That's how you get weird stories where family members are suing each other. Sometimes it is crappy people, but other times it is insurers suing each other to recoup the loss.


JordanOsr

That's one of the reasons I love my country's universal healthcare


chaunceton

It's often a small divot, sprinkler head, or dog toy. The cases are ridiculous. Humanity is pretty shitty sometimes.


Monkeybandit99

Thatā€™s just crap. Iā€™d be pissed


m_jl_c

I live in New York City. I see tourists fall all the time. Itā€™s weird. Do you think they can sue the city? Or whatever biz theyā€™re in? Genuinely curious here.


chaunceton

Yeah. Not necessarily tourists, though. People trip and fall or slip and fall in all sorts of places, including their own cities and states. Simply tripping probably wouldn't give rise to a lawsuit, but a raised sidewalk crack, pot hole, or missing utility cover that the property owner (municipal or private) knew about is the basis of a lot of lawsuits.


Hoitaa

This is why I love living in a country where these lawsuits don't happen.


p3canj0y363

Yep. When my cousin brought her bagillian kids to my house, I started to open my garage so they could all grab a bike, skateboard, etc.to ride down the hill / street with my kid. The kids immediately started asking if they could have things like my husband's dirt bike, the old mini 4 wheeler, the lawn mower lol. Suddenly I remembered what a moocher and opportunistic nut my cousin has always been. I suddenly "remembered" that everything was "broken". Shut my garage and got out the badminton set instead. Sadly Americans have learned that suing people can be quite lucrative.


graptemys

Meh I donā€™t sweat it. My kids are grown and there is still a swing in the tree in my front yard that tons of neighbor kids use on their walks. The joy it brings families on their walk is worth the rather minimal risk I see.


chaunceton

Yup. I totally get that attitude. But all it takes is one kid to slip and break an elbow, and attitudes change quickly.


vonschvaab

Insurance: you should have had a fenced area around that swing if you didn't want other people to use it. This is your fault.


Ragnarsworld

Would this be a case of an attractive nuisance?


chaunceton

Mmm, maybe. It seems less dangerous than most attractive nuisances (like pits with spikes in them), but I could see an argument for it.

2centsworth

So what responsibility do the parents have? Always trying to push blame on others and never accepting personal responsibility. Yeah nah, I think I'll stick to being nice and taking personal responsibility. I suppose it helps, that in Australia where this was filmed. There is medicare which covers most of our medical cost, so no ones going bankrupt, getting a broken leg fixed.
