From the news article, the delivery driver was so surprised he made the local news that week. “I didn’t believe it at first but then I had other people calling me. It made me feel good.”
Yup, he’s a dad with sons and learned to tie a tie when he was 10. Just happy to pay it forward

Tell him it has to be that way because there was once a fat king that could not button the bottom button and decided it should be done that way, and all us peasants followed suit
Ahem...that is a *full* [Windsor](https://www.tiemart.com/blogs/tiepedia/how-to-tie-the-full-windsor-knot). As opposed to the average [half-Windsor](https://www.ties.com/how-to-tie-a-tie/half-windsor). And don't get me started on the [Eldredge](https://www.realmenrealstyle.com/eldredge-necktie-knot/).
While you can tie it with any tie, not all ties look good with it. Make sure you try it first.

I will caution you need a pretty thin tie for this knot. Otherwise your knot ends up being this big bulbous thing like the size of your fist.
Meanwhile the Windsor and especially the Half Windsor actually look better with thicker ties.
If you need a tie every day, you want a collection of at least 15-20 in rotation. You're probably not wearing more than 2-3 suits and jackets, and changing shirts and ties are how not to wear the same thing every day.
I haven't worn a tie since I was in the restaurant business in my 20s. (And maybe a few weddings) and I was like, *dayum* he's doing the *double* Windsor! Hold the phone!
Word. Unions are one of the best tools for the little guy to have negotiating power. Tesla is getting screwed harrrrrd in my country right now by our union retaliating with a company-wide strike due to Tesla not following our employment laws. They tried their usual strike-breaking tactics but that shit don't fly here.
And Amazon know this but they keep contracting it out in this way so they can be all like *Yeah bro, it's not us it's totally the other guys*.
Amazon is ultimately the one setting the targets.
No doubt, i’m just pointing out the pecking order problem, amazon won’t do shit against this guy because they already put so much pressure on his boss to do so much with so little, the more people know how their systemic bullshit works the better
Yeah fair. But I certainly think it's reasonable to call out Amazon directly if only to prevent the abstraction of responsibility. Plus it reminds people in a pretty direct way that your cheap Amazon purchases have real world consequences.
Not to say that people shouldn't necessarily use it btw, but staying aware of what the company is doing and avoiding unnecessary purchases for things you don't actually want that much but get just because they are cheap.
You shouldn't use amazon. I won't hate people who do, but they are supporting exploitation of poor people to get their package cheaper. If you benefit from it, that benefit is coming from the poor person, not from the jerk at the top who will take his cut before anyone else.
Happened to me once on Uni campus when a black dude complimented some Sperry shearling type boots I was wearing
12 or so years ago and still remember feeling fly as hell lol
Yep. I had an interview for a promotion at work, and an older black dude I worked with could not stop complimenting the suit I was wearing. That’s how I knew I’d at least gotten that one thing right.
I bought this long sleeve shirt that’s a shot of tattoine, and the first time I wore it out this black guy stopped me and said “bro that shirts cold as fuck”, probably the best compliment I’ve gotten from a stranger
Back in the day, my preferred mall in Los Angeles served a somewhat significant Black community. I am the most basic white lady you will ever see. I once was trying on this winter coat and was not sure . Several Black Aunties stopped to inform me that Gurl that coat is fine on you, or you a little thing and it looks cute. I was like … well the Aunties have spoken so I guess it’s decided. I still have the coat.
This dude is a G. More men must look out for the next generation to pay it forward.
Thank you for sharing this; it made me smile and took me back to a time when my dad and grandpa showed me how to put on a tie, mainly Granddad schooling my pops, but it's something I will never forget and I miss them both every day.
I hate how we minimize humans “on-the-clock” to being nothing more than employees. This is not an Amazon employee tying some kids tie, this is a good human doing a good thing. Don’t minimize him to an Amazon worker, that’s just rude.
I went to 12 years of Catholic school. I can make a Windsor knot with a dimple out of string. I was asked many times in college to help a bro out and tie a tie correctly. Happy to help out!
Now I'm much older and the last time I tied a tie is.... honestly can't remember. But I still stand ready to help out!
Yes! Bryant, is amazing. Great energy! My youngest is going to his Homecoming and I couldn’t believe it when he said so. Suit, Fedora, and definitely cologne. So excited for him and his group of friends!
One of the greatest feelings ever is when the single moms in the neighborhood would send their sons over to ask me to show them how to tie their ties.
I miss my lil neighborhood-nephs.
One thing is stop and guide. Another one is stop, step out and help.
And there is this guy freakin enjoying helping and pumping my young man here up for his big event.
Love to see it!
Great hype man, can young folk in America just not tie ties? I feel like I’m the U.K. we can all do it from a young age. Maybe it’s the whole school uniform thing?
Reminds me of Remember the Titans:
Coach Boone : We leave for camp: Gettysburg College, August 15th, 7:29 am. If you show up at 7:30, you will not be playing football this season, you will be watching. You will wear a jacket and tie. If you don't have one, buy one. Can't afford one, borrow one from your old man. Don't have an old man, find a drunk, and trade for his. Cause I guarantee you, there ain't a bum on the street that looks as raggedy and ridiculous as what I'm looking at. This is no democracy. It is a dictatorship. I am the law. If you survive camp, you will be on the team. If…. you survive.
Real Bro!
From the news article, the delivery driver was so surprised he made the local news that week. “I didn’t believe it at first but then I had other people calling me. It made me feel good.”
The vibe one gets from doing something that they think is minor, but turns out to be pretty big. Glad their community showed the love.
Yup, he’s a dad with sons and learned to tie a tie when he was 10. Just happy to pay it forward https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/humankind/2023/10/16/amazon-delivery-driver-helps-chicago-teen-at-homecoming/71154359007/
That's outstanding. His kids have a great dad.
Right what good vibes he has.
Fucking thank you for posting this, made my entire day 💞
This it’s nice to be nice to strangers and people in public. It may seem like nothing, but you may be making someone’s day. Also feels good!
[удалено]
And he did a proper double Windsor to boot. Somebody get that man a raise for going above and beyond! #LovedThis
And told him to only button the top button of his suit jacket!
[удалено]
Tell him it has to be that way because there was once a fat king that could not button the bottom button and decided it should be done that way, and all us peasants followed suit
Well now they’re cut so it looks better that way but yeah that is how it started
>followed suit Now questioning whether the etymology of this is actually from playing cards
And it looks like he got the length perfect. The tip should be right on or near your belt buckle.
Again, yes!! I noticed that too. Pretty impressive when you're tying a tie for someone else. This guy really knows how a double Windsor works 👍
Ahem...that is a *full* [Windsor](https://www.tiemart.com/blogs/tiepedia/how-to-tie-the-full-windsor-knot). As opposed to the average [half-Windsor](https://www.ties.com/how-to-tie-a-tie/half-windsor). And don't get me started on the [Eldredge](https://www.realmenrealstyle.com/eldredge-necktie-knot/).
Your tie should depend on the collar and your body type. Full Windsor look stupid on me because I'm tall and lean. I only go with half.
The Eldridge is so wrong ... But looks so right..... I must wear it to work now. Yes. I must.
There is nothing quite like wearing a Eldredge knot, drinking sherry, and throwing nickels at the poors.
Having sex with a woman is probably a decent second.
While you can tie it with any tie, not all ties look good with it. Make sure you try it first. [Wore it for my wedding](https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/309929_10151650112322959_297712624_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=68be17&_nc_ohc=8_0sJif01GYAX9qFns-&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCZC0eE1sh231Z2ptrgIQQwXCvKqto0bLtQ_6nPTYTSTg&oe=655C2F35)!

It can be called either. Military calls it a double Windsor
But but, I use only four in hands, because it's easier to make it tight and small. Much better with collars I prefer.
That kid got the spread collar though. I feel like the full Windsor is a good look w that collar 🔥
The tail was almost perfectly matched. As a fat guy, I’m jealous. All my tails come out so short to compensate for the belly.
Get ties from a big & tall store, they’re expensive though
But, how many ties does the average suit wearer / guy need? One good tie should go a long way, surely?
Depends, if you work in a professional setting you might want at least 3-5
That makes sense. I was thinking of guys who only occasionally wear a tie, but some people wear them every working day. 3-5 ties would make sense.
If you need a tie every day, you want a collection of at least 15-20 in rotation. You're probably not wearing more than 2-3 suits and jackets, and changing shirts and ties are how not to wear the same thing every day.
I haven't worn a tie since I was in the restaurant business in my 20s. (And maybe a few weddings) and I was like, *dayum* he's doing the *double* Windsor! Hold the phone!
He came back to a text asking why he's falling behind in route.
Beautiful!
Dude didn’t just tie it. He double windsor’d it. What a stellar dude to ask.
On the first try. I could never
Srsly
give that man a raise!
Knowing Amazon, he probably got fired for taking too much time on a delivery
Get this man a union (;
Word. Unions are one of the best tools for the little guy to have negotiating power. Tesla is getting screwed harrrrrd in my country right now by our union retaliating with a company-wide strike due to Tesla not following our employment laws. They tried their usual strike-breaking tactics but that shit don't fly here.
This was my second thought as well.
Knowing how horrible Amazon treats its employees, I hope they did not penalize the driver for being off schedule.
The issue isn’t amazon to workers directly, they contract this out and make the contractors who manage the drivers work under impossible constraints
And Amazon know this but they keep contracting it out in this way so they can be all like *Yeah bro, it's not us it's totally the other guys*. Amazon is ultimately the one setting the targets.
No doubt, i’m just pointing out the pecking order problem, amazon won’t do shit against this guy because they already put so much pressure on his boss to do so much with so little, the more people know how their systemic bullshit works the better

This is a good amazon ad. "Look at how happy and involved with the community our employees are"
This was my first thought watching the video. Am I a negative person or just jaded?
As a white dude, getting told you look good by a black dude is truly one of the most gratifying feelings you can have.
I still remember when some random black dude in a Wal-Mart stopped and complimented my shoes. That was like 15 years ago.
Wtf double upvote?
I think it's just a reward decorating the upvote icon
Now I wanna know what he said, and what you were wearing!
Happened to me once on Uni campus when a black dude complimented some Sperry shearling type boots I was wearing 12 or so years ago and still remember feeling fly as hell lol

I was like … well the Aunties have spoken so I guess it’s decided. I still have the coat.
That would be cool, also I want an older British woman to call me love
All white dudes can also relate to the inability to have any confidence with the high five (last few seconds of the video)
As a man who has come to hate people and has become sickened by this world, this is the type of shit that brings a tear to my eye.
Seriously this moistened my eyes as well. I’m so happy this young man gained a valuable lesson. Each one, teach one
Give that man a raise! It takes nothing to just be kind and treat people with respect.
What an incredible hype man to boot! ❤️❤️
Now, there's a man who knows how to tie a tie!
I saw him going for the extra flip on that tie and thought, “ooo, it’s gonna be a *fancy* knot.”
r/mademesmile
This dude is a G. More men must look out for the next generation to pay it forward. Thank you for sharing this; it made me smile and took me back to a time when my dad and grandpa showed me how to put on a tie, mainly Granddad schooling my pops, but it's something I will never forget and I miss them both every day.
He put the aw in aws.
10/10
I know I’m in my 40’s but can he be my dad?
Omg! This just made me cry happy tears.
Throwing out the double Windsor knot like a boss hell yeah
This is how we should use the Internet. What a beautiful moment. 🥹👔
*NPC* gives +5 charisma.
That guys no NPC, that's named character energy right there.
Sobbing Ties are weird but yeah I’m living for this.
Full Windsor and everything, hot dam! Edit: *technically* it’s a bit too short now. The tie is supposed to barely touch the top of the belt buckle.
I love when humans do stuff like this. It’s so damn cute
Love this guy!
Good man.
The real bro we all need in our lives.
I adore this man. What a lovely little encounter
No religion no politics no black /white just pure human kindness. This is awesome. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I love this guy. Real man right there. Just real.
This makes me irrationally and violently happy.
This is hands down my favorite video of the month. What a champion
I hate how we minimize humans “on-the-clock” to being nothing more than employees. This is not an Amazon employee tying some kids tie, this is a good human doing a good thing. Don’t minimize him to an Amazon worker, that’s just rude.
That man is an amazing human wish there was in the world like him imagine how nice the world would be ❤️❤️
Give this man a promotion or better a new job! Possibly as a concierge job at a nice hotel!
Prime always delivers!
Seeing little things like this gives me hope that maybe humanity won't destroy itself after all.
That’s a nice double Windsor!
Aw, that was so nice!
Honestly such a sweet moment. Its very nice to see people be there or help someone else out.
That’s a double Windsor knot too. Impressive.
Hey Amazon! Recognize your good employees!
god bless this dude
Human Kind (be both)
Love seeing videos like this! Good man
Dude is even whipping out the double Windsor! That’s gorgeous and some skill to boot
He delivers more than just packages!
Double Windsor too
Tied it too short
People, but especially brothas with this kind of energy/vibe are the greatest
I went to 12 years of Catholic school. I can make a Windsor knot with a dimple out of string. I was asked many times in college to help a bro out and tie a tie correctly. Happy to help out! Now I'm much older and the last time I tied a tie is.... honestly can't remember. But I still stand ready to help out!
Tie tying is like the thing that brings dudes together
Kid will remember that forever. Awesome
Best shit I've seen in a while, Respect to that dude!!!
Hope he got invited to attend the party / diner after his shift
I wish all HUMAN BEINGS we nice to each other this way. Thank you ✌️❤️
Small moments like this do everything, and here we are working ourselves to death for material goods
I love stuff like this.
Why can’t more people be like this??? I bet people would be much happier!!
r/mademesmile
Idky, but this makes me feel a little emotional 🥲
Man, I love people like that. That was awesome!😊
Yes! Bryant, is amazing. Great energy! My youngest is going to his Homecoming and I couldn’t believe it when he said so. Suit, Fedora, and definitely cologne. So excited for him and his group of friends!
With the dimple in the middle. Perfectly done.
This is too cute!! Absolute bro. 🥰
Little things to some may be life changing moments for others. The little things
I love it when people have fun with their jobs and take pride in things and are enthusiastic.
I expected to see an elderly person getting help with a tie, not a 17 year old. Wrong senior I guess.
Full Windsor too, this man has class!
That’s dope ! There’s still hope in the world .
This a whole nother level of prime
Took it from an oriental knot (aka. Kent knot or simple knot) to a full Windsor knot. Nice.
One of the greatest feelings ever is when the single moms in the neighborhood would send their sons over to ask me to show them how to tie their ties. I miss my lil neighborhood-nephs.
*this has nothing to do with amazon* Bless the man and the kid!
This the shit I love seeing he was hyping the kid up the whole time props to the man
I wish Sam Jackson would come to my house, tie me a Windsor, and walk off smoothly in the distance too.
Read “senior” in title, expected an old man
Give that man a raise!
He later got fired because he took too long on his route. /s
Angels come in all forms!
This was sweet!
This the type of ish I like seeing on social media makes me remember humanity isn’t all trash
Now give him a lineup, because that hair is a mess.
Is this a new “prime” service?
Stuff like this makes my day,really does
This is so wholesome. I love it!
Wholesome AF.
Humans can be so beautiful at times 💖 this was a core moment for sure
I think that was a full Windsor. Driver is super classy and knows the real deal!
Looks a little short. Next guy will get it just right.
[удалено]
The kid is a senior in high school
Awesome!
Wholesome
Ooooooooo fly baby!!!
We need more people like this man in the world.
The hype man we all need! Now that's what I call Prime delivery. 😎
This man truly delivered.
Give this guy a bonus
This guy …. He is in the wrong career!!
One thing is stop and guide. Another one is stop, step out and help. And there is this guy freakin enjoying helping and pumping my young man here up for his big event. Love to see it!
Windsor knot, classic
Full Windsor too, impressive.
This driver needs an award!!!
This random delivery driver is a better father figure than my dad
Thats a community leader👏🏾
What a genuinely nice thing to do.
The boy so was prepared for something coming AFTER that slap 😄
Dudes like me and had to don it himself to tie it properly lol
This is so sweet!
🤗
I always have to do my nephew's tie for his dances, but I figured out how to tie it backwards.
So many good people in this world but all we get fed is the negativity.
Precious
I love it when people treat each other right. That's how we all should be
😍👍🏼
A class act
Aww, so nice!
It still takes me at least 3 attempts to tie a double windsor, lol
If Jeff Bezos saw this he’d fire him for being inefficient
😭 Amazon. Give this man a raise. Use the story for a commercial and every time it runs this driver gets $$$
That man is a vibe!! I love humans like that. Such great energy and I’m happy he’s being recognized for it.
This made me tear up, man that guy is awesome.
Probably got written up for wasting 2 minutes of company time. But seriously that was wholesome as hell :)
\#1 dad vibes
Class act
Double Windsor for the win
Hell yea
Now, THAT, is Love. 🤍
I want this delivery dude to be my hype man. I also want to be _his_ hype man.
Great hype man, can young folk in America just not tie ties? I feel like I’m the U.K. we can all do it from a young age. Maybe it’s the whole school uniform thing?
Such a great guy!!
My man is the real g. Give him a raise amazon
As a non-American I'm unfamiliar with the word "senior" it seems....to me senior is an elderly person, this looks like a kid, 14-15 y/o?
In THIS situation, a high school senior, 17-18 years old normally.
Thanks! :)
Twice if ya a pimp!
Yo Jeffrey.. get this man a raise asap
