Ungreatful people

[Viva*the*Ranger]

Last winter my boss (Chuck) his son (Mike) and I were in the work truck heading back from Severna Park about two hours south of where I live.

Mike, by the way, is an extreme asshole. Whines about everything, even when he's wrong, blah blah blah. This'll be important later in the story.

We stopped at a wawa for gas and a very cute woman was having trouble with the air machine. Turns out it was broken (go wawa!) and she had just let all the air out of her tire. Well I was in my boss' truck and had no air pump, and since it was a FWD caravan, I threw the spare on the back and moved the back tire to the front where the flat was. She gave me a hug and said thanks, and we were on our way.

Not even fifteen minutes later we're on the interstate and a cop pulls us over. Chuck was driving and Mike was in the passenger seat.

The officer asked Chuck if he knew why he got pulled over, Chuck said no. The officer said it was because of burnt out license plate bulbs and asked if anybody had thrown a cigarette out the window earlier and Mike fessed up that it was him. The officer took both their drivers license's and went to his car. A few minutes later he came to Mike's window and gave him a warning for the lights to pass over to Chuck...then he gave mike a $140 ticket for littering. Apparently the cigarette hit his windshield.


Just think, if I hadn't stopped to help her Mike would've never gotten that ticket, which by the way kept me laughing the whole ride home.


Moral of the story: Sometimes good deeds come back around sooner than you might think.

That's a great story. Funny how thing work isn't it? I've had similar situations happen in the past. Good job on the good deed

a few years ago i rebuilt the battery cable of a guy who had a radio installed wrong christmas night, in 10 degree temps in a movie theater parking lot.

but then a year after that my wife was charged 10$ for a jump start when my old dodge had a bad battery. needless to say that gas station the guy worked at, is bulldozed now.

when ever i help someone i just tell them to help someone else any way they can

$10 for a jump? That's horrible. What the hell's going on with people these days?

I wanted to comment, although I did not read the whole thread.

I'll say Thanks on her behalf. You did a good Christian deed. God appreciates it too.

Somewhere, somehow it'll return to you. Maybe I'll drive by and help you change a flat or something someday.

Well done!

P.S. Be glad she's not your woman! That's reward enough.

Haha! Yeah..That's plenty of reward and Thanks for the kind words.

Chalk another one up to it being a small world. Kindness knows no barrier.
I'm sure that the father understood when he saw the scrath on the car. I'm sure he'd rather see a ding or dent in the car than a call from the hospital about his daughter. The 200 euro he gave you was probably cheaper than a tow truck!

I hope that someday someone helps you when in need!

 

[Viva*the*Ranger]

^^Good point about the hospital call. Every parents worst nightmare. That was a hell of a story! Good work Nater! I hope it comes back to you when in need.

 

[Nater]

True, it is a small world. What really took them back was the fact that I had stopped and helped, and didn't just stop and say, do you need help, and when she said no, just take off.
I have honestly been in her postion before where I was out in the middle of knowwhere, and too scared sh!tless of my parents to call and have them bail me out. But I learned from those mistakes I made, and didn't want her to make the same ones..
(of course if I got sent to my room when I was younger, there was no TV, Nintendo,phone, etc....Just my desk and my books.)

That was a great story, Nater! Thank you for sharing that.

 

[Nater]

That is just the type of person I am. But as it was said, most people are afraid of strangers, let alone strangers trying to help. In this day and age, people are more concerned about "alternate intentions" then people doing just out of kindness.

I moved my sister from NH to Indy with my truck, on short notice. She FINALLY caled to thank me two months later!
