I had a very interesting experience on Friday when I had just left a busy shopping center with 3 bags of canned dog food. As I turned onto the road out, something happened with my car. Could be the battery I thought. Anyway, I called Triple A to come. The man said, with Valentine Day traffic, worse than Christmas, it might be a long wait.
A lady who was nearby came over and asked if she could help. She saw that the 3 plastic bags I had and was moving a bit to put into the tow truck, had broken and some cans rolled out. She said, "Here, take this backpack. They'll all fit nicely." I said, "Oh no, but thank you. I'll manage when the tow truck comes I'm sure." She insisted. I declined
Then a gentleman some distance away asked if things were ok. I stepped over to speak to him, and when I turned back, the lady's bag was right there and she had walked away! This met my need perfectly and I hope to see her again to not only thank her, but offer to pay her.
