Before I replaced the battery on my 240sx, it would die here and there and need a jump. One night I was in the parking lot at my gym with my hood open and jumper cables in my hands. Several people drove by without even looking or offering help. I got lucky and a friend of mine happened to be leaving and stopped to help me. It depends on the situation too, those people might be on their way to work or dropping a kid off to school etc. I understand where you are coming from though, I always try to help when I see someone with their hood up, or clearly stuck Nick C.

Dear Officer @Liltuffgirl,
Thank you. Thank you for the work that you do, for the risks you take, and for your service to the community. Thank you for your willingness to endure the tension and stress, the boredom and danger, and sometimes the depression that must surely accompany such a difficult and largely thankless job. Thank you for standing between us and the perps, for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your colleagues, together standing on that thin blue line that separates the rest of us from chaos, anarchy, and lawlessness in this increasingly crude, uncivil, and dangerous world. Thank you. Be careful out there. Too many officers who die in the line of duty became complacent, temporarily lost their focus, their concentration, and suddenly found themselves surprised to be lying crumpled on the ground with a bullet in them in the middle of a routine stop. Keep your eyes on their hands. Be careful, Liltuffgirl. We need you. Gratefully, -Porsche |

I wish we in North American didn't regulate things so much on the road, but regulated who could get a drivers licence much more rigorously. It wouldn't solve all issues, but if we stopped treating a drivers licence as a right I think natural selection would sort out a lot of the other issues. And I'm not that bad, though I am requesting @bestwheelbase to make up some 'know it all douchebags crew' t-shirts. Lets start a list of crew members. |

Already, the Valentine's Day Commercials have been on in full swing.
FINE, RUB IT IN UNIVERSE. At least I have my 2 boyfriends. Ben and Jerry. @Calum That would be nice. And I've noticed that, people thinking getting licenses are rights, and not a privilege. I mean, you operate something over 3000 pounds (usually) that can kill someone if not done right, it's not like it should be taken as lightly as it is. Also, harsher fines for people texting while driving, or using their phone (handheld) while driving. It's fine if it's bluetooth or something along those lines, but you'd be surprised at how many still text and drive here, even though it's been illegal. People who think they're above the law never cease to amaze me. Also, holy smokes I can't type today. Thank youuuuu, spell checker! |

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.

@Steve201brz
Also, to add what some others have said, some people might not know how to help out. I personally don't know how to jump start a car, so what use would I be? Would rather not be electrocuted and that definitely wouldn't help out the scenario. When I had my accident, a group of people helped me out, so that was really, really awesome. There are still good people out there. (Also to those going "SHUNNNNNNN LADYFRZ," I'M LEARNING. OKAY.) |

Every car I was stuck behind in traffic today on my commute home had a combination of center mount stoplight and left/right brake light fucking BROKEN. NOT ILLUMINATED. CAN'T FUCKING TELL YOUR BRAKING ASSHOLE.
Not your kid and drama. Kids take errybody out of the equation if we're talking about a relationship. Shoot, got no problems with moms (MILFs anyway!), but I sure as shit ain't bringing one home for my parents to meet. Nahmean? |
