6. The last time someone stopped to help me

Dec 2012

it was a young woman who helped me push my car out of the snow in a turnaround.

The last two times I helped someone with car issues, it was men. Both times they were out of gas, I gave one a lift to the gas station and back to his van. The other was a fully loaded pickup that died in an intersection, I jumped off my bike and helped push him through to the gas station at that corner. I was surprised that no drivers in the cars stuck behind him went to help, since they were the ones inconvenienced by it.

(I'm female.)
