Ungreatful people

Something similar happened to me a couple years back. It was snowing like mad, about 8" on the ground. I had just left home for work and happened to glance down a side street. I see two cars in the middle of the intersection spinning.

I turn around and drive up to them. The wife's stuck in the pile of snow that forms in the middle of an intersection, and the husband is ramming her car with his!

I asked how far they needed to go, and it was literally 50 feet. So I grabbed my strap out of the bed box, attached it to her car, which smelled like it was about to ignite from being over-revved. Put the F-250 in 4WD and towed her to their house.

I got out, unhooked, and ended up driving away, while they both still sat arguing out in the snow.

WTF... I would have been extremely thankful not to pay a tow bill..

So, your right, some people are idiots, but it's the ones we don't stop to help that would appreciate it.

First off, you're a good man for helping them. Secondly you're right. That husband shouldn't have let her drive a CAR in 8" of snow. But who am I kidding? The guy was ramming in to her car with his so, yeah some people truly idiots. As sad as it is they didn't thank you, the story is kinda funny.

Easy killer...

He said drive a "CAR" in the snow.

It was truly a darwin award waiting to happen, I should have just watched.

 

[Blackdog455]

True. They suck. I went to the one up on east hill in Kent. They are a little better.

The one in convington and issaquah arent that bad either. but i prefer Napa than anything else.

i had yanked a mom out of a ditch, i sat in carls jr eating my lunch watching. trucks drove by not even stopping. so i helped her. i was driveing my 89 at the time. i even offered to follow her home since it was so bad outside. plus she was in a civic. i followed her makeing shure she got home safe. she offered me 100$ and i just politely declined. she was begging me to take it but i refused. she had a sticker that said "i heart my marine" plus support our troops stuff. to this day im glad i didnt take that money and i helped a parent get home with her kiddos safe.

I know this was posted on the first page, but I just wanted to say thanks. I am a married soldier and I was deployed to Iraq for most of last year. Not being able to be here to help my wife when stuff like that happens is HUGE frustration. Knowing that there are still trustworthy guys out there like you who help women in need is a great reassurance. So on behalf on that Marine I just want to say that we can't thank people like you enough.

Just the other day when i put my truck on its side, every single person who came by even when my mom got there and we were sitting in her car, they stopped to see if everything was ok. Before my mom got there, a couple people passed and one guy even offered to let me sit in his truck until my mom got there but she was a mile away, people are very generous in my area!

 

[idriveafordranger94]

Yeah I know what you mean. Like you said, even on my worst day ever, I still wouldn't ever treat someone like the girl did to you. I really don't like ungrateful people. I work at a discount store and I don't mind helping people out and actually walking with them to the product they are looking for instead of just pointing and saying "it should be over there." Most people say "thank you" but there are some other customers that I bend over backwards for and they don't even bother to say thank you. Oh well.

Taking the information from the story, neither of them should have been driving in the snow. My statement had nothing to do with gender.

 

[OilPatch197]

Haha! Nooo. She was not easy on the eyes. At least not in my opinion. And no big boobies.........

You SURE it was a female...?

Haha yeah. Just the sasquach version. When it comes to lending a hand I don't discriminate.
