With cell phones and AAA etc., I don't feel a strong need to stop and help. Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger. Stupid always finds a way.

When my wife was about 8.5 months pregnant with our oldest son she, had a flat and a good samaritan pulled over and changed her tire when he saw her struggling to bust the lug nuts loose. Because of that, I'll keep passing it on to someone needing help. Last edited by Lonny; 06/26/22.

When I was a teen I had a 55 Chevy V8 with solid lifters in need of new rocker arm nuts. I did it so much I could set the valves at night under a street light, and did so several times

Lady was having a major league meltdown in a convenience store lot. Had her teen aged kid in the car practically in tears. Turns out they were on the way to the AP and the kid was heading overseas for a 6 month homestay in Canada. Plane was leaving in 2 hours and if the kid missed the plane the trip was a no-go. After getting the story interpreted by Mrs. KG, I told the woman to give me the keys and I'd fix things. She said that she didn't have a spare tire or even any tools in the Saab. I assured her that she did, but just didn't know it. Ten minutes later they were off to get the kid on the plane. Win for Team America, no doubt. I've done the same at least a half a dozen times over the years for strangers. Ain't no puzzle. Help out people jammed up and go on about your bidness...

Was helping a millennial once and he stopped "assisting" and started texting or gaming (...or something). I threw the tire iron in the poison ivy and left. If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

And without missing a beat said "I was a kindergarden teacher for thirty years I ain't afraid of you" I was laughing so hard I could hardly finish changing the tire. RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
