Some people out there go viral for all the wrong reasons.

Like the woman who got arrested for getting into a fight at Denny’s over her all-you-can-eat pancake bill.

But others go viral for all the right reasons. Such as the elderly man and his wife below.

The man and the woman were waiting for a train at the Lindbergh Center MARTA station in Atlanta recently when they spotted a young man sitting on a platform bench and struggling with his neck tie.

Another traveler, Redd Desmond Thomas, was standing nearby when he overheard the woman asking the stranger if he knew what he was doing.

Upon receiving a negative response, she asked her husband to lend a helping hand.

So the older man took the younger gentleman through the full process, giving him what Thomas described as "a step-by-step tutorial." He then asked the younger man to do it again by himself; in order to make sure he understood and could do it by himself next time.

Neither of the men nor the woman have been identified.

But the photo Thomas uploaded to Facebook has garnered nearly 400,000 Likes in a matter of days.

"I was some distance away (but close enough to hear the exchange), and got even closer to snap this candid photo of the tutorial in progress before hopping on the train. I LOVE THIS!" wrote Thomas as a caption to the picture.

We agree!
