On Thursday morning 28-year-old Eric Haralson went to a local McDonald's to have breakfast by himself. He was soon approached by an elderly woman named Jan, who asked if she could join him. He agreed and the two strangers spend 45 minutes eating together and enjoying each other's company.

Amanda Craft, a local teacher, was sitting nearby and overheard the conversation. She snapped a photo of the two new friends and posted it to her social media where it went viral.

Haralson told Today about Jan asking if she could eat with him:

"My reply was 'of course' because that's just who I am. So she grabbed her food, I pushed her chair out for her and introduced myself. She mentioned many times how we all should love one another, and how we should not judge anyone because you never know how their day is going and what they've been through."

Craft captioned her post"

"Shout out to this guy! This elderly lady (seemed to be a little lonely) came up to him and asked if she could sit with him. My friends and I watched him introduce himself and shake her hand. They talked and laughed together like they were friends. They didn't know each other, and they couldn't be more different. But today they shared a meal together and it touched our hearts."


People fell in love with this sweet pair.










The two exchanged numbers so maybe this will become a weekly thing. We hope!

The Most F**ked Up Things People Have Ever Seen A Friend Do

Perhaps the best thing about our friends is that we can always rely on them.

To help us out, to give us words of comfort and wisdom when we need them, or to just be a willing pair of ears.

Even so, our friends still have a way of surprising us, as well as disappointing us from time to time.

Sometimes they'll do things that just make us groan and roll our eyes but are easily forgiven over time.

Other times, however, they might do or say something which can only be described as "f*cked up."

Potentially putting an effective end to your friendship.

When you gotta go, you go.

That should be a mantra for getting rid of the toxic people in our lives.

Not every relationship is meant to last forever.

Some people don't know how to be friends.

They are awfully good at pretending though.

Be vigilant of the signs and red flags.

Toxic people are crafty.

And once you're free, never look back.
