National Above the Bus Day is celebrated on October 5 in the United States and Portugal. This day is dedicated to acknowledging acts of kindness and service by individuals in our lives, encouraging people to give credit to those who may often go unnoticed. Typical actions include complimenting coworkers, helping friends, or advocating for someone at a gathering. The day emphasizes celebrating accomplishments and milestones, contrasting the negative notion of "throwing someone under the bus." It was created by writer and comedian Evan Wildstein, who aimed to focus on the positive aspects of interpersonal relationships, especially in the workplace. Participants are encouraged to express their appreciation through social media, text messages, or emails, highlighting the importance of recognizing good deeds, no matter their size.
