42 Odd And Unsettling World Facts That Might Keep You Up At Night

What was supposed to be a simple job interview could have been stopped by something as ordinary as needing a shave. But that day, one police officer decided he wasn’t going to let that small obstacle keep a man from getting his chance. At the time, Phil was living on the streets when he went to apply for a job at a nearby McDonald’s. The position was within reach, but he had been told to come back clean-shaven. The problem? His electric razor wasn’t working properly, and he didn’t even have a mirror to see how he looked. Officer Carlson realized there was something he could do. Instead of simply giving him advice, he took the razor and helped Phil finish shaving right outside the gas station. A bystander captured the moment in a photo, and the image quickly drew attention online. But the most important part happened after that photo was taken. With the help of several people, Phil was able to get the documents he needed and return to the recruiter. This time, nothing was standing in the way of the opportunity he had been offered. He was eventually hired. A few minutes, an unexpected helping hand, and a job opportunity — sometimes, a little help at the right moment can truly change the course of someone’s story.
