Reddit Users Shared Real-Life Moments That Are Stranger Than Fiction

Most people are kind of nervous whenever a cop comes up to them, but this story might leave you with a positive impression. This guy was pumping gas one day around Christmas time and noticed two cops hanging out outside their patrol car. He was internally freaking out because his tags were expired and he had his three kids in the car.

His nightmare came true when one of the cops started walking up to him. As he was frantically thinking of what to say, the cop smiles and gives him $100. Turns out, the cop and his partner were looking to help some people out for the holidays and figured he could use some extra cash to buy his kids Christmas gifts. What a pleasant – and unexpected – surprise!
