So the other day, I snuck out of work early and on the way home, I saw a car stuck in the middle of the street with her hazard lights on. When I passed the car, I noticed that the driver was an older woman and she had her head down on her steering wheel. I pulled in a gas station that was right there on the corner and walked over to her car with the intention of pushing her car into the gas station lot. As soon as she noticed me walking up to her car, she began to franticly turn the key in her ignition like a million times in 5 seconds, kinda like the mother in the movie “Cujo†when she was stuck in her car.:scared:
I’m not a “scary looking†kinda guy, and I purposely stayed about 5 feet from her car so I wouldn’t scare her. That didn’t work out that well. Finally on the million and first try, her car started up an I looked at her and blew on my knuckles , then rubbed them on my chest like I actually did something. We both laughed and she drove off while I walked back to my car. When I opened my door, she drove by and thanked me for the attempt and drove off.
At first when I thought about it, I thought “Maybe that’s why so few people help out like that any moreâ€. Maybe folks stopped pulling over like that because they almost always got the “Holy crap, a stranger†look. That made me think even more, and then I though, maybe people have that look because no one cares about each other anymore.
Then I walked in the door to my home and was attacked by my 50 pound puppy, so I couldn't think anymore.
Sorry for the long post, but I just had thought that wouldn’t go away and I wondered if I’m the only one that this has happened to.
