Car Broke Down In The Line At The Stop Light. How Would You React?

Yes. Same here. I would call for help for the guy. If he was a fake I am sure he would leave. People do not care for one another like they used to. They are not willing to help at all. They would rather beep the horn, give you the finger or shoot you for being in their way these days. People are so uncaring and rude these days that I am even afraid to go to the grocery by myself.

If it was a man with a car broken I probably wouldn't have stopped either but I would have made it a point of calling to send help to the person. Or people so into them selves that they can't even call and send help. The most amazing thing to me was how many of the people beeped their horns. People have no patience at all even if the problem is no fault of the person.

That was really nice. As you said seeing two gals trying to help move a car to the side of the road would probably get a few guys to helping. But I was surprised at the beeping of the horns. With the hood up it was obvious that I was having car problems. I was that way for quite some time. You would think with so many people having cell phones that least that they could have done was call and send someone to help. You know like a policeman or someone.

Maybe the people honking couldn't see the hood up? I know on my van, NOBODY'D see the hood up! LOL I do know that now that I have a cell phone, I'm always calling because of cars in trouble.

That is the thing about it. How much time would it have taken to help me move it out of the way of traffic. Some of the cars that passed me had some pretty hefty guys in them. Or at the very least called someone. It just amazed me that they made use of their horns instead of their brains. lol. Yes, more often than not that is all people are concerned about is getting to their destination and getting there in a hurry. It would have taken so much time out of their busy schedule to give me a helping hand. I may not be able to help a person out but I would make it a point of calling the police or someone like that to help out the person. My Dad was always helping people out as was my Mom. There was many a time I heard them tell the person when asked how much was owed that just do it to the next person that needed help and that was all. I have seen on more than one occasion that people are not willing to help. It sure is different than when I was younger. But then again I suppose people have to be afraid of stopping and helping. But I was a women alone with the hood up by myself in a intersection with a stop light. Now come on what was I going to do hit them over the head with my purse. lol. And of course there would have been lots of witnesses. Go figure. Have a great and wonderful day today.

I know that people are in a hurry and want to get where there going fast. But as my husband always says what goes around comes around. There will come a day although I will not see it that the same thing happens to them and they expect someone to stop and help them. Of course that is only if they don't have a cell phone with them. If they do they will just call for help. I just wonder sometimes where the milk of human kindness has gone.

opps I guess I should read before I post that not is not to be in there I will get out and help push

very good answer. You deserve the best response.
