Every one and a while doing good pays off
I was driving home after a long day at work and noticed a car with it's four way flashers on the side of the road. Not knowing anything about cars and I wasn't being flagged down, I started to pass it.
As I did I saw a pedestrian who spun around and stuck out his thumb. I was almost home and most definitely not going his way. But I stopped anyway. Turns out his car was out of gas. So I took him to the nearest gas station so he could get a gas can and some fuel for his car.
We got there and they had no gas can. He was frustrated so I said happily that I would take him to the next gas station and failing that, to the nearest hardware store so he could be on his way.
He was taken a little aback as I said this because he responded in diebelief "really?"
I laughed and we pulled into the next gas station. To our luck they had some gas cans. He filled it and jumped in. I drove him back to his car(which was really about a 5 min drive but would have been a much much longer walk). As i dropped him off he offered me $10. I told him that five was plenty but he insisted, saying that a cab would have cost him almost double.
So I thanked him and headed home to sleep.
Yay for team good! =D
