Have you encountered any situation where you were surprised how someone has acted? whether pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised
Share them here! i would love to hear about em
Okay, so here is mine:
So today i was having an absolutely horrid day at work, and I went to do the deliveries, and wouldn't you know it, my car stalls, and the battery dies, while on a busy highway, practically in the middle of the day
So its boiling hot, I'm starving as I hadn't had lunch yet, and now the car won't turn on.
My first though is: "No problems, this is why i have roadside assistance!", So i ring em up, and long story short, since I'm in a work car, and not my own, they cant do squat for me and i have to go through my business' roadside assistance, so now I'm getting quite annoyed but i figure, fair enough, i ring up my boss, turns out we aren't signed up for any roadside assistance, Oh Boy!
So my next option then was to walk to the nearest car parts store, and buy a spare battery and jumper leads, and just jump start my car that way
A short while later, After having bought said battery and cables. I jump start my car and all is going well, however at this point the heat and my hunger taking their toll
So, In the car now, i start driving off, keeping in mind I was on the side of the road at the moment so i don't obstruct traffic and annoy people, i drive about 2 meters forward, and wouldnt you know it? i get bogged in the danged sand.
After spending a good minute or two thrashing around my car in a hysterical delusional rage, I get out and proceed to try anything i can to unbog my car, all of which is in vain, so then I ring up my boss again, and long story short, he cant help me, and just about everyone i ring up, is either busy, or unable to help
Its at this point that I am pacing around my car, talking on the phone, and getting extremely agitated. Then someone in a truck pulled up in front of me and offered to tow me out of my little situation, given the kind of day I have had, I was quite shocked and extremely grateful for his assistance
To put this in a little more context, where I live, people on the road are EXTREMELY aggressive and rude, merging lanes alone is horrifying sometimes
