This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”

#EthanHawke reflects on his screen test with #DenzelWashington for #TrainingDay: “It was really difficult to try to keep up with him.” During a live discussion with Variety’s co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh at the #MiamiFilmFestival, Hawke revealed that Washington threw his name in the ring after his wife, Pauletta, showed him Hawke’s performance in #Hamlet. But when Hawke arrived for the screen test, Washington went completely off-script. “What Denzel was doing was trying to show other people he wanted somebody who could play with him,” Hawke explained. “He knew that whoever was cast in this part, he was gonna have- we’re together through the 92% of the whole movie.”

Josh Brolin recalls a tense moment on the set of American Gangster when he thought he might have to “fight Denzel Washington.” “You know, Denzel was a hero of mine. Denzel and I did American Gangster together, and Denzel wouldn’t look at me. I did this scene with Denzel, and he had reworked the scene. He didn’t change any lines, he just reworked the scene. ‘Lines here, you say your line - You hold that line until the end - I said, ‘Okay.’ And then, as we're going through the scenes…Denzel Washington man, my hero….and I forgot a line. I put my hand on his shoulder, and I asked for the line. And he hit my hand away. He said, ‘Don’t you ever fucking touch me.’ And I was like, ‘Is he in character?’ - I was thinking, ‘Holy fuck, I’m going to fight Denzel Washington. This is amazing.’ And he looked at me right in the eye, and then I said, ‘Are we okay?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, we’re okay.’ I still don’t know to this day, because every time I see Denzel, he puts his arms out and gives me the biggest hug. And I’m just like, ‘I don’t understand actors. I know I’m an actor, but I don’t understand.’”

Steph Curry said if Steve Kerr didn’t go off on the ref he was about to do it himself: “To be honest, I was gonna do that but I saw him. That’s why I fouled Kris Dunn because I was watching coach go crazy and I was appreciative of that. Two crazy calls in a row… I love that. That fire from Steve. Somebody had to do it tonight.”

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

In the final scene between Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in American Gangster, the moment when Denzel swats his coffee cup across the table was completely improvised. Russell Crowe then responded with his own subtle piece of improvisation. Ridley Scott explains: “That just happened. Denzel swatted the coffee off the table. It comes off Richie’s line, "And everything can return to normal." Denzel starts to talk about what he means by "normal", and he literally lost it; he got enraged and swatted the coffee. I thought that was pretty cool, so I just let it run. It’s only going to happen once; you can’t predesign these things. If it happens, it happens, and that’s great because you know it’s real. Then Russell, during the right moment, decided during the take – because I was running four cameras on them – to push the coffee back as is to say, "The ball’s in your court." Denzel didn’t immediately use that. I was waiting for him to slide it back. And then he chose the right moment to slide it back. That all happened spur of the moment.” Quote comes from an interview with Jeremy Smith. Oct, 2007

So I needed to figure out my own path and accomplish the goals that I had, felt like going down there (Miami)….felt like they could possibly put me in the position (for) the goals that I had and was able to accomplish that.” (Feb 22, 2026)

This man applied for a job and was hired but told them he could start for 6 weeks because he wanted to do some traveling for leisure. But during the hiring process he had 72 hours to do a drug test which he failed to do. They cancelled his job offer and he feels it wasn’t because of the missed drug test, so what is he implying the reasoning behind it was then? Fresh out of college, that insurance gig was the first one I applied for and was hired for. Up until then I never had to take a drug test but then again why would I have? I didn’t do drugs on a normal basis anyways. But my best friends were pot heads. On the day before my drug test I was smoking a cigarette and my friend asked for a hit and I gave it to him. The other friend passed me a joint and I took it thinking it was my cigarette and I took a long dragged and almost coughed up a lung. I panicked, I just had taken a hit of pot when I had to be drug tested for a new job the next day. I went to the testing and did it, I got a call a few days later from HR confirming I passed and I told her I was worried because my friends smoke and I thought it would show up in my system as a second hand application. She said nah don’t worry, we only test for the hard stuff anyways. That part I didn’t know, but after that I saw my other buddies pass their work related tests too so maybe it was more widespread than I knew.

Former atheist says Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream as he hung off the edge of a cliff, crying for help. He didn’t understand the dream when he woke up. He figured it out later. But once he did, he could no longer remain an atheist. DR. SY GARTE: “I was hanging from the edge of a cliff, terrified. I didn’t know what to do, and I couldn’t climb up.” “I was holding on with my hands, and I screamed out, ‘Help. Help.’ I didn’t know who I was calling to. I just said, ‘Help, help.’ And I heard a voice say, ‘Just let go.’ And I said, ‘What? What? I fall down?’” “And the voice said, ‘Just let go.’ So I finally said, ‘Well, okay.’ So I let go. And the moment I let go, the entire landscape turned 90 degrees. And instead of hanging from a cliff, I was lying on the ground.” “And there was a man whose voice I had heard standing there. That was the man who said, ‘Just let go.’ I woke up, and I was like, ‘Whoa, what was that?’ I didn’t know what he meant by ‘just let go.’ I didn’t know who it was.” “Eventually, I found out that the man was Jesus Christ. And what I had to let go of was all the baggage that was in my life that was absolutely blocking me from even considering the idea of a God.”

I deserved what I had coming" "I think the adultery part was totally fair because I made big mistakes and did stuff I shouldn't have, and so I deserved what I had coming" "The whole Nazi part of it wasn't fair... I think that was fueled by her and her publicist. They knew that stuff wasn't true" "They asked them, 'Is Jesse a Nazi?'... and her exact quote to Us Magazine was, 'That's not the man I married.' It just poured gasoline on it and made it erupt" "That stuff kind of hurts me because, man, I grew up in an all-black neighborhood and we adopted a Black son" "Not because he was Black. My requirement for the adoption was like, 'Hey, I want the kid that needs us the most'"

I think when you do that it’s not the right way to go about things so right away I was in a room, I had my journal down and I was just writing how I was feeling and embracing it. Then as hours go on, I was able to understand it and be like this is a great opportunity”

Mew : Chopper had never had surgery before. As he got older, his blood test results weren’t good, so the vet said he should have his gallbladder removed. Otherwise, his blood test results would get worse and he wouldn’t have much time left. Everything was okay when we decided to go ahead with the surgery. Then, on March 28, there was an earthquake in Bangkok. Chopper was at the hospital and had just finished his surgery. I was panicking too because I was at the condo and the building was swaying. The traffic was terrible that day, and I couldn’t get in touch with anyone. I understood that everyone had to focus on their own safety first. It took me three hours to get from around Siam to Kaset (Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Bangkhen), and I still wasn’t even close to getting there. I really needed to pee so badly, but I was also panicking (worried about Chopper) 😂 My mother got there before me and saw that Chopper had the equipment he needed, so I felt better. Mew : Back when my sister and I were younger, during our teenage years and university years, we were quite distant from our family. But after we got Chopper, it was like everyone in the family started talking to each other more. 👩🏻: He’s like the heart of your family. Mew : Yes. Oh, I’m going to cry. That day, I was driving and crying because I was scared something might happen to him. But we got through that day. Over the next few days, I kept going to see Chopper. I had never seen my father cry that hard before. He was the one who spent the most time with Chopper. When we went to the hospital, he just couldn’t stop crying. He said he missed Chopper so much and wanted Chopper to come back home. I never thought I’d hear those words from him, but he actually said them to Chopper. Chopper is definitely getting the inheritance 🤣
