LMAO! That's beautiful stuff there! It' SOOOOO true and I've had it used on me before. The guy poked around on purpose knowing I was in a hurry. He kept shooting me looks while he dug through his pockets six times like money that wasn't there before would magically appear. Well it did... From MY pocket! Like you said, well worth it.
I have a habit of noticing brake and tail lights and trying to let people know if they have faulty lights. Most people don't do periodic inspections on their vehicles and will drive until they get a ticket or cause an accident before they are aware of a bad bulb. I won't go far out of my way, but if I have a minute I have followed a car into a parking lot and told the driver. And low tires too. Those are more dangerous than bad bulbs.
I help people every day when I'm at work. I'm a full time fire fighter and EMT, but I don't even count that. I enjoy it and feel good when I know I have had a positive effect on somebodies life but it's not the same as when I can do something on my day off.
But catch me in a bad mood or after going a couple days on no sleep and I may not be so quick to go very far out of my way for you. I've been scammed plenty and have learned to spot most players. As far Texas is concerned, they better be pretty fast on the draw and willing to shoot because I am.
