A 'drunk laddie' offered to pay to fix a smashed window at a Paisley restaurant after he woke up and remembered what he had done following a night 'on the tiles'.
Staff at the Little Steak House, Sma Shot Lane, posted about the eventful night on Facebook and said they didn't expect the culprit to confess.
The employees said they turned up for work last Sunday morning and were met with a broken 'windy'.
Posting on their social media account on June 5, they wrote: "When you arrive to work on a Sunday morning and you’re faced with a broken window in the restaurant, you just know that there’s been a wee drunk laddie passing by in the wee early hours and carelessly or accidentally smashed the windy.
"As a wee independent local restaurant you just think oh great, so you clean up the glass, phone for a repair and take it as part of trading in a town centre."
The post then went on to explain that the person responsible had actually reached out to offer to pay for the damage after he had a flashback of smashing the window the night before.
They continued: "However, what we didn’t expect was that the wee drunk laddie woke up from his night out on the tiles and had a flashback of unintentionally breaking the window and what did he do next, he private messaged the restaurant and apologised and said he would like to do the decent thing and pay for the damages caused.
"We were gobsmacked and full of admiration for this young man, hats of to you and to your parents who have taught you right from wrong and to take responsibility for your actions, the youth of today get a lot of bad press etc we just wanted to say thank you for your honesty and doing as you said ‘the decent thing."
Customers were quick to praise the person for putting his hands up.
Rosie Kane McGarvey wrote: "Been meaning to visit the Little Steakhouse for ages and I certainly will now.
"The wee laddie did great and after reading your companies comments I'm so impressed by your understanding and care for the community. You're like a steak - rare and well done."
Kym Quinn added: "For whatever reason, be it right or wrong he owned up."
Hunter Seabass said: "Wow. I admit to being surprised. However this person has done his generation proud by contacting you."
Restores a little bit of faith in us all.
Margaret Broadfoot said: "Lovely to hear that. Takes guts, decency and honesty to do that. Respect to you young man."
