5 pics from George Clooney's selfless sandwich run in Scotland.

George Clooney knows how to do lunch.

Like most of us everyday humans, superstar celebrity human George Clooney appreciates a good sandwich.

So when Clooney was in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Nov. 12, 2015, he dropped in to a local hot spot to grab one. Unlike the rest of us everyday humans, however, a swarm of paparazzi and adorning fans accompanied him on his sandwich journey.

While I would imagine most celebrities become frustrated with the crowd of people with cameras following them as they do completely mundane things, this time, I don't think Clooney minded.

Because all that attention was being shared with the restaurant itself, which, by no one's definition, is your standard sandwich shop.

Clooney stopped in to Social Bite, a restaurant chain doing a whole lot of good in Scotland.

The expanding chain — which already has five locations, according to The Guardian — donates all of its profits (for real, every single penny) to charitable causes. A quarter of their staff is also made up of people who were formerly homeless. How cool is that?

In town for tonight's Scottish Business Awards, Clooney thought he'd swing by — oh, and casually donate 1,000 British pounds (about $1,520) to the shop.

Social Bite's business model also empowers customers to pay it forward in a big way.

Through the chain's clever "Suspended Coffee and Food" initiative, diners can purchase a hot beverage or food item in advance for a homeless person to have later. Thanks to this pay-it-forward program, each location helps about 30 homeless people every day.

I mean, really ... how much do you love this place? Do you love it as much as George does?

It's a significant way to do business that's certainly proven successful here in the U.S., too. Just ask outrageously popular pizza joint Rosa's Fresh Pizza.

The Philadelphia eatery implemented its own pay-it-forward system with its fresh-from-the-oven $1 slices. The result? Tens of thousands of hot meals given to those in need.

When you look at places like Rosa's and Social Bite, one thing's for certain: When you simply allow customers the chance to give back, they definitely will (no matter what side of the pond they're on).

So the next time you're in Edinburgh (or Philly), remember: You have two excellent lunch options that make a big difference.

And hey — you might even run into George Clooney.

Husband plants thousands of flowers for his blind wife to smell.

Flowers are a great way to express your feelings for someone. Red roses say, "I love you," but a whole garden of pink flowers screams it. One husband took the romantic gesture of getting your wife flowers to the next level.

Mr. and Mrs. Kuroki got married in 1956, and Mrs. Kuroki joined her husband on his dairy farm in Shintomi, Japan, The Telegraph reports. The couple lived a full life and had two kids. After 30 years of marriage, the couple planned on retiring and traveling around Japan, but those plans were soon dashed.

When she was 52, Mrs. Kuroki lost her vision due to complications from diabetes. Her blindness hit her hard, and she began staying inside all day. Mr. Kuroki knew his wife was depressed and wanted to do something to cheer her up.

Mr. Kuroki noticed some people stopping to admire his small garden of pink shibazakura flowers (also known as moss phlox) and got an idea. He couldn't take his wife to see the world, so he had to make the world come to his wife.

Author uses a brutally honest analogy to help other men understand how our culture enables sexual assault.

Every man should read this.

Many men don't understand the constant anxiety countless women experience every day surrounding the fear of being sexually assaulted.

This lack of empathy has been in the forefront of the American consciousness over the last few years, especially since Donald Trump entered the center of the political arena. He's been accused by multiple women of sexual assault and rape, was friends with a man accused of sex trafficking minors, caught on tape bragging about sexually abusive behavior, and has supported men for Senate and the Supreme Court who've been credibly accused of assault as well.

Using the 'dictionary definition of racism' defense is a sure sign you don't understand racism.

Whenever someone's words or behavior are called out as racist, a few predictable responses always follow. One is to see the word "racist" as a vicious personal attack. Two is to vehemently deny that whatever was said or done was racist. And three is to pull out the dictionary definition of racism to prove that the words or behavior weren't racist.

Honestly, as soon as someone refers to the dictionary when discussing racism, it's clear that person has never delved deeply into trying to understand racism. It's a big old red flag, every time.

I'm not an expert on race relations, but I've spent many years learning from people who are. And I've learned that the reality of racism is nuanced and complex, and resorting to a short dictionary definition completely ignores that fact. The dictionary can't include all of the ways racism manifests in individuals and society, and the limitations of dictionary definitions make it a poor tool for discussing the topic.

Since "racism" is such a loaded term for many people, let's look at such limitations through a different complex word. Let's take "anxiety." According to Merriam-Webster, "anxiety" is defined as "apprehensive uneasiness or nervousness, usually over an impending or anticipated ill."
