A hilarious video has appeared from Saudi Arabia of a young man who prevented his friend from paying the bills at a drive-through store by climbing onto the roof of the car to pay.

Social media users were amazed by the reaction of the man who insisted on paying first and stopping his friend.

The video is doing the rounds on social networking platforms.

The video, documented by a surveillance camera, showed the young man opening the car door from the right side and climbing on to the roof to reach the payment counter.

The speed with which the young man climbed on top of the car is noteworthy.

The netizens have praised the young man's reaction to his friend, which is part of the generosity of Arab culture and especially in Saudi Arabia.

These acts of generosity are usually passed from one generation to another.

It is usually very common in Arab tradition to pay off the entire bill and generously welcome guests and visitors, even if they were from another country.
