Awesome - Woman Who Left Note On Stranger's Car Is Shocked By His Response
It's not always easy to follow your conscience. When a young driver named Sydnee bumped her car into another while backing out of a crowded parking lot, she was overwhelmed with guilt, but she tried to do the right thing. When the car’s owner finally tracked her down, she couldn’t believe what the decision she made was leading to...
Mall trip gone awry
Sydnee was a young woman who loved to shop. She would frequently drive to her local mall to visit all her favorite stores and leave her car in the parking lot. But one day, her usual trip took a nerve-wracking turn.
Packed parking lot
One afternoon, however, she pulled into the parking lot and became slightly apprehensive. The lot was more full than it usually was, and fitting her car into a spot was going to prove to be challenging.
Crammed
She finally settled on a spot, but when she pulled in, there wasn't even enough room for her to open her door. So, Sydnee backed out to look elsewhere, and that's when she gasped...
Small collision
As she was backing out, Sydnee felt her car bump the vehicle next to hers. She immediately panicked as she had never been in an accident before. How exactly was she going to handle this?
Clear scratch
She first needed to see just how much damage she caused. Luckily, her car was fine, but the other car had a scratch that left a black paint smudge on the bumper. In that moment, Sydnee wondered what she should do — could she just walk away?
Leaving a note
Feeling guilty, Sydnee wrote a note explaining what happened and left it underneath the other vehicle's windshield wipers. She made sure to include her phone number so they could contact her for insurance information, but little did she know who she was leaving the note for.
YouTube star
The car belonged to Stuart Edge, and when it comes to the world of YouTube, many people know exactly who he is. He joined the website in 2012, and since then he has accumulated millions of subscribers and hundreds of millions of views!
Not your ordinary guy
Of all the people Sydnee could have literally bumped into, it was someone who made hugely popular internet videos. If Stuart wanted to get even with Sydnee he had the means to do so on a global scale...
On a shoot
Unbeknownst to Sydnee, Stuart and his crew were filming nearby where she was shopping that day. Once they wrapped up a couple hours after Sydnee's 'accident', Stuart saw the note and decided to get the camera back out.
Putting the pieces together
Stuart read the note into the camera. He was in awe at how honest Sydnee was considering the mark on his car was barely noticeable. He met a lot of people in his life, but this note was clearly from someone with a kind heart, so he set out on a mission.
Having some fun
One of Stuart's crew members suggested pranking Sydnee somehow. She thought they should play a lighthearted joke on the honest young woman and record it all for their next internet video -- and they knew exactly what to do.
Making the call
Stuart's friend pulled out her cell phone and, pretending to be the owner of the car Sydnee hit, called her. Sydnee was so apologetic, and Stuart's friend suggested they meet up to exchange information. This was where Stuart came in.
Meeting location
After agreeing on a nearby location, Stuart and his crew parked across the street and saw Sydnee waiting alone at a table. Stuart sat down at the table next to hers, and the two started to chat...
Toying with her
Stuart asked Sydnee why she was there, and she told him how she hit a car in a parking lot and was waiting to meet the vehicle's owner. After a bit more small talk, Stuart finally pulled out the big reveal.
The set-up
Stuart told Sydnee the whole thing was a set-up! He pointed out the camera and told her who he was. Sydnee couldn't believe it. To top it all off, Stuart gave her $200 just for telling the truth.
A big embrace
Sydnee was speechless, but so excited nonetheless. The two embraced and Sydnee insisted Stuart keep the money to fix his car. But he had one more surprise in store for her.
Revealing their true intentions
Stuart's friend Jenica, who had pretended to be the car's owner, then came over and gave Sydnee a hug too. Sydnee's act of kindness had moved all those involved, and others quickly took note.
Going viral
See, their touching story quickly went viral. Sydnee hadn't just made $200 that day (Stuart insisted she keep it), she also had her 15 minutes of fame! But Stuart got his own prize.
Bringing people together
See, Stuart had always wanted to make videos to help bring people together, and he had finally accomplished that. He was certain that he had inspired people to show a little more kindness day to day. That meant a lot, since the internet was full of viral stories of parking altercations that were anything but friendly. Stuart was relieved he didn't cross one particular line...
