It's crazy how people just stare and drive by almost saying "not my problem." How shitty would you feel if you were standing there stranded and no one would help you?
Roads are terrible out there, if you have a chance to help someone you should do it. One day you'll be in a situation where you'll need a strangers help. Ya can't expect people to do something for you that you're not even willing to do yourself, at least that's how I look at it.
You should of seen the look of appreciation & surprise in the guys face when I stopped and offered to help. He almost didn't know what to say haha
I may be an asshole, but I'm not a monster

As @
Diode Dynamics mentioned it mainly comes down to location. Some places are good while others can be very sketchy. I'm sure people would help out, I know I would have or at least find out what's wrong, but some people are taught to not trust strangers or to not make other people's problems their business. Can you blame them? There's countless amount of stories, movies, news, tv shows about rapists and murderers being shown over and over to the public... it just doesn't help by pushing minds into not trusting their fellow man. And yeah, some honestly don't have a heart so fuck them.
It was good to hear that you decided to be a good Samaritan and helped out when you could. That's the type of gesture/example that people need to see to push positive actions in your fellow community.
