So, we're driving home from the field and get off at our usual exit. There, halfway up the exit, a pick-up truck is stopped half on and half off the road. Being a conscientious driver I slow down to figure out what is going on. The driver of the truck steps in front of our vehicle. He asks for a tow rope, which we don't have, and then asks us to help push his truck.
I park the car on the other side of the road, well out of the way of other cars, and we proceed to push the truck all the way of the ramp and to the nearest gas station. Good thing we were all wearing our orange safety vests! Also, it's a good practice to keep a gas can in your car so you don't have to ask a bunch of strangers to push it to the nearest gas station.
