Woman tries painting HDB block

In a TikTok video posted on Tuesday (13 Oct), @mother_tooty shared her encounter with some workers who appeared to be painting the exterior of an HDB block.

“Another side quest!” the Original Poster (OP) said in the text overlay.

The video began with the OP explaining that she had tried her luck at getting onto the gondola, the suspended platform used by workers to access the building’s exterior.

“Omg I actually tried my luck to see if I can go up this thingy,” she said, before adding that they said no, understandably.

She then asked the workers if she could try painting the wall instead.

“Oh, how? Teach me, you show me one time first,” she asked.

After watching the demonstration, she got her turn to try painting the wall herself.

She subsequently thanked the workers for letting her have a go, saying: “Ok, thank you so much.”

Bought workers coffee to thank them

The OP also showed her appreciation by treating the workers to coffee.

“Bought them coffee to thank them!” she said in the text overlay.

In the video, she could be heard telling them: “Hey, I got for you coffee. I put here later you drink.”

After bidding them goodbye, the OP thanked the workers once again for the experience.

“Bye bye, thank you,” the OP said at the end of the wholesome interaction with the workers.

Mixed reactions by netizens, some concerned about safety

The seemingly wholesome interaction has been met with mixed reactions online, as some expressed safety concerns.

A netizen said the wholesome interaction between the OP and the workers was “nice to see”.
