As far as the compassion part.......I brought that up because of something that happened.
While I was driving on I-94 coming into Milwaukee, I noticed a car with flashers on the side of the road. No biggy right?
Anyways, it was about 9:30 pm and it was raining slightly. As I drove past, I saw that the car had a flat tire in the front and saw a woman standing alongside her car, looking at it. I quickly crossed over 3 lanes of hiway to pull over.
When I put my car in reverse to back up to her (I went past about 1/4 mile) I saw that she ran back into her car.
When I finally reached her car, she was locked in.
I asked her if she needed help, but she said there was a tow truck on the way and I wasn't needed. Of course she said all this through her window, without even rolling it down.
As I drove away, I shook my head in disbelief. Not the fact she was afraid, but how did we get so paranoid as a society?
So, she opted to pay for a tow truck driver and wait the extra time. I don't think I'm a scarry looking guy. I mean I have short hair and so on and so on. I know, that weirdo's come in all forms, but I was just a little confused on the whole deal.
There I'm done!
