A man letting a stranger doze off on his shoulder in the subway has been praised by Reddit for his kindness.

All people living in big cities and taking the subway for hours every day have, at one point, felt the need to do what the man on the left is doing. However, not everyone is as nice as 65-year-old Isaac Theil.

Tablet Mag writes that Theil was traveling on the Brooklyn-bound Q train when this picture was snapped.

Theil was asked by another passenger if he was bothered by the traveler next to him, but he responded that the man must have had a long day. He got off at Newkirk Avenue station, gently pulling his new friend off him.

The photo of him has been shared numerous times on Reddit and Facebook, making him an internet celebrity.
