Cordell Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's really disappointing that our society is so fucked up you can't help someone. Really short story, I see a car out in front of Ricart with a flat tire. About 100 yards away is a lady carrying her groceries. I pull up and offer her a ride. Now you can tell she wanted to let me help her, but our society is just that fucked up she said she'd be fine and sent me on my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Step 1) Don't be a rapist or murderer Step 2) Don't look like a rapist or murderer You failed one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 ^You guys are Dicks^ That sucks, but you know what probably felt better knowing that someone was nice enough to offer. Its the thought that counts not always the action. Life points to you sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've picked up people going my direction in a similar situation even after passing and waiting for them to catch up, maybe she is just set in her ways and doesn't need help or she like said thought you would kill her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I don't know why, but it seemed like she wanted help with her crappy day. I mean who kidnaps and murders in their work uniform, I'm not that stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Should have let the air out of the other 3 tires. That'll teach her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharris89 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Scott, at least you tried. I had a similar situation last winter where a lady with kids in a minivan refused my help when I offered to change her tire. I felt horrible leaving but it's what she wanted.

TTQ B4U Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Should have robbed her and made the reasoning more valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 The thought that counts. Good job man. Even if you stop and offer help one hundred times and only one accepts your help that's still better than not stopping at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 She'd probably sue you for sexual harassment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 She'd probably sue you for sexual harassment. Violated her safe space. That's basically penetration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violated her safe space. That's basically penetration. I saw a lady walking in the rain today, thought the same in that I'd offer a lift. Then I remembered that I'm in my work truck and company policy strictly prohibits basically being nice/kind. Then thought I'd get sued, blamed for making an advance on her (no, she was very unattractive) and lose my job for being nice. Decided to do the typical, look the other way and keep driving.

BigOxley Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've often thought about giving help to stranded motorists. I try to figure out the least aggressive way to approach. Maybe holding out a treat like the way you approach a stray dog? By that time I'm way down the road. Honestly, I'm way more likely to help a dude out. A lady might run out into traffic or do some stupid shit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I offer rides to people all the time and even offer candy if they'll get in the van.....so far I'm 0-167 on getting them to accept a ride. Don't know what the problem is....I always wear latex gloves when making the offer in case they're germophobes and I always have a clown's mask on because clowns make people laugh. It's weird.

ImUrOBGYN Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm always quick to offer a hand in public for shit. That being said, some people are super appreciative, some seem completely suspicious of you, and I've even had a couple actually behave very rudely to me. Even so far as accusing me of attempting to steal from them or just being f'n racist. Hell, I almost got caught up in a thief trap one night in southern california attempting to pull over and help someone. I'd rather deal with racist bigot. lol I had to tear ass out of there. Doesn't stop me from helping the next person, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because your license plate is "DR FUNZO", and kids hate doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff1647545513 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 It's because your license plate is "DR FUNZO", and kids hate doctors. This. You need to change it to PREDATR, people love that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it. Also try painting "free candy" on the side so they know you aren't trying to prank them. Nobody would vandalize their vehicle for a prank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 With all the tricks now, maybe they need to see the candy first. Make a trail into the van? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
