If you see something, say something, as the adage goes, and one young woman on TikTok is being praised for doing just that.

The TikToker, who goes by the name pikanab, has gone viral after posting a video in which she saved a woman from a deeply creepy stranger who was asking her about her toes.

Pikanab spied the woman from across the street and quickly intervened.

@pikanab I WAS SO SCARED. THIS IS WHY GIRL NEED TO STICK TOGETHER. Has anything ever happened like this before to u?##fyp ##fypage ##pov ##schoolpov ##honab

As Pikanab described in her video, she was initially unsure whether to intervene.

But given how late it was at night, and the fact that the woman looked "really uncomfortable," Pikanab talked herself into going over and seeing what was up.

As she put it in the video:

"OK, I'm from New York, girls supporting girls. I'm just going to go up to her."

When she got to the woman, she executed a perfect ruse.

She pretended like the woman was her good friend, and that she'd been waiting for her in the car. Pikanab then strikes up a conversation with the man who was talking to the woman, asking in a friendly manner who he was and what they were talking about.

His answer should send a chill down even the steeliest of spines:

"Nothing. Just asking her if her … toes are long."

The creep factor on pikanab's face was palpable.

She then repeated that they have to go, as if they were late for an engagement, and the two women ran off together. Pikanab asked if she needed a ride as they went, and the woman sheepishly said "Yes, please," her voice audibly afraid.

On TikTok, people praised pikanab for having the courage to intervene.

Hopefully it inspires others to help out with situations like this too.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
