That's exactly what happened to one South African dad's daughter while she was playing a game of netball. TikToker @Jolinkomo shared that he was away in Johannesburg when he received a call with the news that his daughter had just started her period for the first time. With no sanitary products available, she had to make do with toilet paper. The moment hit him hard because he knew how difficult it can be for young girls to manage their periods, especially without support or access to proper menstrual products. Determined to be there for his daughter in any way he could, he decided to take action. He recorded a heartfelt TikTok where he called on other fathers to step up and support their daughters during this important phase of their lives. He proudly showed viewers the period kit he put together for his daughter, his first time ever buying sanitary pads. Video Player is loading.

'This is for my beautiful princess,' he said, explaining that love and presence matter deeply, even if dads can't fully understand the experience of menstruation themselves. As a sweet surprise, he also bought her flowers and some of her favourite treats to welcome her home from school and remind her how loved she is. The response online was overwhelmingly positive. TikTok users flooded the comments with praise for his thoughtful gesture. 'I'm so proud of you. You are the best dad ever,' one person wrote. Another added, 'This is so beautiful. Creating a safe space with your daughter. This is big. I hope other fathers are taking notes.' Women also chimed in with helpful suggestions for improving the kit, recommending unscented wipes and advising him to use Brufen instead of Disprin, since the latter is a blood thinner. This dad's simple but powerful act of love is more than just a kind gesture. It's a reminder to all fathers that being involved, informed, and supportive during their daughters' life changes can make a lasting impact.

Uber driver turns car into 1BHK on wheels, wins hearts online
A woman's Uber ride has gone viral after she shared photos of an unusually well-equipped car that felt more like a cozy one-bedroom apartment than a cab. Posting on X, she wrote, ' Literally travelling in a 1BHK today. Hands down the coolest Uber ride ever! ' The images revealed an impressively organised interior that left social media users stunned. The driver, Abdul Qadeer, had transformed his car into a passenger's paradise — complete with cold drinks, snacks, tissues, basic medicines, toys, and even a mini dustbin. Shelves and holders were neatly attached to the front seats, making every item easy to access. From chocolates and biscuits to toothbrushes, umbrellas, and tablets like Digene and Disprin, the car was stocked like a mini convenience store on wheels. Each item was labelled with care, offering comfort, convenience, and a touch of creativity during the commute. In one photo, a donation box for children's education hung behind the passenger seat. Just above it, a sign proudly displayed that free Wi-Fi was available in the car, with the password written out for riders. The car even included a feedback diary, inviting passengers to share their thoughts both offline and on the Uber app. A motivational Urdu quote added a poetic touch: ' Musalasal gham uthane se kahin behtar hai kinara kar liya jaye kinara karne walo se.' (' It's better to distance yourself from those who constantly bring sorrow. ')

Coolest Uber ride ever: Viral cab driver from Noida turns car into 1BHK setup with snacks, medicines, toys and more
From creating insirational videos to giving us meme-worthy chats, drivers on cab aggregating apps never fall short when it comes to giving internet sleuthers content to gawk at. But the latest addition, which swiftly became the talk of the town, is something else entirely! When he rolls out, Uber driver Abdul Qadeer packs a lean, mean, boredom-killing machine! His cab is packed to the brim with essentials, non-essentials, and then some stuff to keep his customers engaged and get a guaranteed five-star rating! WiFi, medicines, snacks, and toys — he has it all! He became an instant hit after X user @sheannoying posted pictures of the cab's interiors, writing, 'Literally traveling in a 1bhk today. Hands down the coolest Uber ride ever! (sic)' Everything's labeled, organised, and just screaming — treat yourself! Need a sip? Grab a water bottle or an energy drink. Got the munchies? There's chocolate, biscuits, and more. Feeling a little off? The man's got meds like Digene, Disprin, and Cetirizine! And it's not just a snack-and-go situation. Abdul has even kept items like tissues, umbrellas, and toothbrushes handy. There's even a dedicated 'essentials corner' for all your random but crucial needs. It's like your mum packed the car — if your mum also offered free Wi-Fi. And it doesn't stop there. There's also a donation box labelled to help fund underprivileged children's education. Next to it is a feedback journal where passengers can leave heartfelt notes. And to round it up, a framed newspaper clipping showing him off as one of Uber's finest. And just in case you thought it couldn't get any better — there's a powerful quote on the back of the passenger seat: Translation? If someone keeps bringing sorrow into your life, it's okay to walk away. Right off the bat, users on X labelled it 'Top tier wholesome'. One user joked, 'You're not paying him the fare, you're paying him the rent.' Another remarked, 'It looks like a full-on house. It is a clear-cut reflection of how good a driver must be. 5 star ratings for him.' Several social media users hailed Abdul as a 'genius', with one tagging Uber with a corporate suggestion: 'Uber should alagse add booking option for this ride'. One user also recognised him from her own jaunty adventures in the city, sharing her own X post from September last year, writing, 'rode in the same Uber — super cool!' However, some also felt compelled to highlight the safety risks of a car backed so full to the brim. One user explained in a lengthy reply: 'For all the cuteness people are pouring over, that car is a safety hazard for anyone traveling in the backseat. In case the driver has to suddenly applied breaks then the person sitting in the backseat would move forward and hit all those containers causing injury. Head whiplash will directly hit the head on all those bottle holders he has installed.' Another warned, 'Not even a single air bag would open in case of a mishap.' Others also felt that it was a bit much: 'I guess water and first aid kit are enough, too many things make this car very cluttered.' Others also urged caution about the risks of data theft when logging into an unknown server: 'Wow! Be careful. That's like an all-in-one Claymore mine, and a Honeypot — if an accident doesn't kill you, we will capture all of your data traffic.' What do you think? Would you pray to the Uber gods to book this cab?
