Fate delivered the perfect package in the form of a prime photo opportunity.

A professional photographer by the name of Donreál was shooting on location in downtown Sanford when he was asked to take a photo of a UPS employee making a delivery.

The random encounter turned into a picture perfect post that has gone viral with 453K Twitter likes, to date.


Impressed by the result, Donreál asked the internet for any leads on identifying the photogenic delivery man, so that he can send him the photo.

The photographer tweeted:

"I was doing a photoshoot in downtown Sanford when this UPS delivery man kindly interrupted and asked for a picture."
"THIS IS THE BEST PICTURE OUT THE WHOLE PHOTOSHOOT!"
"can someone find this man so he can see this."

The internet became instantly smitten with the UPS man's infectious smile and the search was on.

Who IS HE?




It almost looks like a painting.




A fellow professional chimed in with accolades.


The internet wouldn't be the internet unless they pointed out the kooky.

Some keen observers of the photo couldn't help noticing the spooky specter looming around above the truck's UPS logo.

Do you see it?



Is it even a spooky demon?


People also expressed their concern for the driver's safety after noticing what they suspected were bullet holes.





But let's get back on track.

It looks like UPS has a model employee.



Even UPS was on board with the search.

Eventually, the viral photo made its way to the delivery man's wife.

His family identified the mystery man as Jermey Watkins from Southern Pines.

His wife, LeCarya Watkins, showed up with the receipts and proudly shared a juxtaposed photo of her "bae" in his uniform and in his Sunday best.


It turns out Watkins has a voice that delivers too.

People are now envious of LeCarya.

A feel good story like this is just what we need this holiday season.




This year, UPS forecasts record-breaking holiday shipments, with return deliveries peaking at 1.4 million packages on January 2 – a 26% increase from last year's peak returns day.

Matthew O'Connor, UPS senior manager for public relations, told Transport Topics:

"We estimate UPS will deliver more than 32 million packages per day in the U.S. and around the world, an increase of more than 50% over our regular daily volume."

That's a lot of packages!

Thanks for all you do, UPS drivers. And please drive safe on all your respective routes.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
