A woman was called a 'hoarding a** b***h' at the supermarket while she was shopping for six housebound families.
Stephanie Ryhmer Whitaker was met with a volley of verbal abuse as she loaded her trolley with £885 worth of goods at two different shops.
Rather than unloading the supermarket shelves to line her own pantry, the Ohio woman was actually doing a good deed.
She took to Facebook to post a photo of the car full of groceries beneath a caption reliving the encounter.
“I'm a ‘hoarding a** b****’ according to the woman next to me at Costco," she wrote.
“I just rolled through there and spent $900 (£725) and then another $200 (£160) at another store.
“I didn't clear a single shelf. I didn't take a thing from anyone. What I did was shop from a list.”
The items were for six families who either had small children, special needs or were single working parents.
After Stephanie got the goods home she spent several hours sorting them into boxes before taking the care packages round to her neighbours.
She added: "We are all better off assuming that people have the best intentions than that they are out to screw everyone over.
“We don't know anyone's story, what they've been through, what they're going through, or where they're headed.
“Look for the helpers, they are always there. Be kind to one another.”
There have been 1,933 cases of coronavirus in Ohio, leading to 39 deaths.
Ohio Department of Health Director Dr Amy Acton said 475 patients are currently hospitalised and 163 are in intensive care.
Schools in Ohio are closed until May 1, a date that will be re-evaluated closer to the time.
