I live in in rural Australia and at my local hospital the shop there has a ‘buy a coffee for someone who is having a bad day”. My mum was dying and I went to get a coffee and was told it was free due to this. I was so touched I burst into tears.
A great gift that this show has is the great sense of humor that allowed these people to be on the show! Many thanks to them and the staff of Candid Camera for their continued support in making smiles every time they do a show!!!!!
Some people just simply choose to live miserable lives, unfortunately. So much so that they refuse acts of kindness because idk, they want to be completely independent i guess
Next step, she takes out a weapon and says SIR I SAID I AM PAYING. Would that he considered a stick up? But in all seriousness, we don't know the histories and experiences of all people. It could be an anxiety safety thing. Maybe then someone would expect something. Who knows. She just prefers to spend the $15 like she budgeted for and buy her own book. Fair too.
@@jothePianoMaster13 She's not bitter she's just exercising her right to have boundaries. I bet she's been scammed by an old boyfriend or somebody in the past that did something for free one time with certain strings attached.
Sad that so many felt uncomfortable with this. This should be more of the norm than a surprise or unexpected. I have paid for someone's groceries before and it truly was the best feeling. I know it helped them but it sure helped me as well. I realize that not everyone can afford to do something like that but there are many ways to pay it forward or to bless someone. Any act of kindness can really make someone's day. God bless!!!
I very seldom give money to pan handlers, but several months ago I gave a $20 bill to an older woman sitting close to a street corner with a sign. About 30 minutes later I saw her at the grocery store picking out fresh vegetables. It gave me a good feeling to know I helped someone get something she must not be able to afford often.
Someone paid my meal in the drive through. I refused to pay it forward. It needs to me more targeted for those who really need a hand up and not a gift burden.
@@nicholasb8900 It should never feel like a a gift burden. It's your choice on who or how you pay it forward or if you even do that at all. You do what feels right for you and your situation. That's the beauty of it. God bless!!!
But you also don't know anything about her. You'd be surprised to hear people's stories. I agree that it's strange if she doesn't want to accept it and it's not for a deeper reason, but it's important to remember that there may be a deeper and very understandable reason. She could have even gone through a trauma that causes her to react this way to strangers offering to do kind things for her. It sounds far-fetched, but you really never know.
Seems odd that that one woman was so uncomfortable accepting the gift. I could maybe see if some guy came up to her live and said, "Here, I'll pay for this for you", that she'd be uneasy. But for someone leaving it advance to whoever the next customer is? Doesn't seem creepy. By the way a few years ago around Christmas time in a store took out a $10 bill and said, "I got this." I was at the counter and the charge was $8.70. I said, "Oh no, you don't have to do that, sir." He said, "I know, but I just want to. Merry Christmas." How bout that!
I meant to say "some guy" next to me at the counter offered to pay it for me. I botched that in typing, sorry. And don't see an edit option so I replied.
Many years ago my mom was waiting to pay at the grocery store when a man behind her in line, with some things under his jacket, offered to "pay" for her things. She was not at all comfortable with it and declined.
Agreed on the lady that wouldn't accept it. She could have just said "I really don't need it so just use it for the next person". Sometimes I just really don't understand people. God bless you on choosing to bless someone at Christmas. I'm sure it made their day!

I am someone who also does not like to receive that kind of gift but I am comfortable giving to someone else. I would have said to pass that on to someone who needed it and just paid for my own.
Since it is MORE BLESSED to give than to receive, you sometimes have to accept a gift graciously, so that the giver gets THEIR blessing. The giving of a gift to a stranger is a very loving thing to do, since nothing could be given in return. You can't buy love because it's priceless.
I already thought about what I would do before watching. I would not accept the gift but would ask that it be given to a person who needs it after me. Something similar happened to me and that is what I did. I don't feel comfortable with receiving gifts but am fine with giving to someone else.
@@peterwillson1355 It is a different time now and we can't just believe what everyone is telling us. People in cities can't even safely answer their door anymore. Or you get seemingly harmless questions over the phone that could compromise your personal information and accounts. There is sometimes a hidden agenda and I'm in my 70s so gears are turning slower now. I am not in need of financial gifts and it would be a waste to pass this on to me. I'd much rather someone who needs it gets it. I have accepted things that I do not want or need to 'please' someone else. It then backfires on me when these people expect that I will then give them what they do want that can be a hardship for me to do for them in exchange. It would be more honest to just ask me for the help as I will give it. It winds up being a little deceptive with the unwanted 'barter' item. Even with this skit, the money gift is not free because then you get the guilt trip of having to leave money for the next person. I don't like it when folks take something simple and complicate it! I did like the skit though, but don't want to experience these things in real life. Too many people out there waiting to scam you and we should not be complacent enough to fall for them.
Of course, this all balances out, with all the shifting of paying for the person behind you. If it was me accepting the gift from the person in front of me, I would load up my car with 1,000 books on their dime and sell them on eBay. :)
There have been times at the end of the month that I forgot to check my Debit Card to see how much was left. I would come up short & someone in line noticed & paid the balance. Half of those times they wouldn't take the change. I ALWAYS took it and thanked the gifter.

God bless that young man that left $50 for the next person.
The world needs more people like him.
Rather, any person that had little but gave nearly all the money they got.
This show was just a master class. Wow! Funny and touching at the same time.
This happens often in West Virginia going through the drive-thru. Really sweet of people, and it makes you want to do the same thing. 😊
A great gift that this show has is the great sense of humor that allowed these people to be on the show!

"I did the right thing, Mom." 😂
The woman in the red sweater was precious!
Man, I miss Waldenbooks!
People who are unhappy with themselves are unhappy with just about everything around them.
That second was very bizarre. To be that defensive over a kind gesture? Odd

She has been scammed before and is now wise.
@@randyorr9443 it's not "wise" to refuse kindness it's just being bitter

29 bucks? Such an angel
The lady who refused must have a lot of pride. Couldn’t even accept that someone did something nice.
I would have said give it to the next person

“I’m not comfortable” is an example of a typical Karen.

In Chicago we used to pay the toll of the next car. Often they would chase after us to see if they knew us.
I hope Mr. Funt is selling many books because I am enjoying this every Sunday. Keep it coming.
Loved this episode so much ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm french and i watched a lots of Candid Camera videos.
the Lord instructs us to love our neighbor as ourselves................
The Lord doesn't exist...
Talk about the ultimate Candid Camera 😀😀 with the Lord watching what we'll do in every kind of situation

Wow and actually Just For Laughs did also. I've said it over and over again. It's so obvious.
You got that right! -Peter
Hey thabks for this amazing show Peter ❤@@CandidCameraClassics
The young lady at the 2 :36 time mark is a STUNNING young lady!

Lol
How many times are you going to copy/paste this comment?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this show
The least attractive was the most guarded lol
that woman who rejected it was just nasty about it… kinda feel bad for whatever happened to her that put her in that head space.😢
She just said she didn't feel comfortable -- I don't think she was nasty about it, just asserting a boundary
Wasnt nasty, sounded
Iike a scam to her. She had no proof it was true and she would be leaving without paying.
I am someone who also does not like to receive that kind of gift but I am comfortable giving to someone else. I would have said to pass that on to someone who needed it and just paid for my own.

She was right... It was a joke all along
Alan Funt was the master of SMILE. As oppose to his son.
If you see her again thank her for me we can thank Candid Camera for you 😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣
@ 1:09 We know how she votes today.
MY CHOICE!
MY CHOICE!
MY CHOICE!

It is easier to give than to receive. Try challenging yourself.

Now you see why the 1 girl refused...She didn't want that burden..lol
doing something the Lord would be PROUD of and SOME Amerikans just don't get it..............SMH
I bet a lot of people that way too
They should have yelled at the guy who left fast he's on Candid Camera.
They should have done pay it backwards
I had thus happen to me at starbucks and i was grateful only thing is i didnt get my points.😂
Second lady very odd..
The woman who wasn’t comfortable is what would be a modern day Karen.
I think this show is about laughter. Who knows her past experiences to judge her
if they gave a gift for the next customer, they didn't gain anything did they?
except the awesome feeling of giving something anonymously to another human. That's something!
Sure they did. The got a blessing and then they gave a blessing. I think that would be a huge gain.
Of course, this all balances out, with all the shifting of paying for the person behind you. If it was me accepting the gift from the person in front of me, I would load up my car with 1,000 books on their dime and sell them on eBay. :)
So dated.
I don't like this show anymore because of how they make it look old...
This was filmed in the early 2000’s if I’m not mistaken.

RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) Something small can mean so much to someone else and you don't even need to spend a dime.
I probably would have left double the amount.
oh yeah,
I would have left triple the amount...
@ good for you 👍
