I was just wondering if anyone was ever taken advantage of;like
I almost was.Many years ago;I lived in Conn. and was a mechanic
at Sikorsky Aircraft.It was about 22mi.;each way;of commuting from my apartment.Turnpike,Parkway,and secondary roads.I was
driving home; one day;after putting in 8+hrs. on the flight line.
I was on the Conn. Turnpike(95)driving home.I passed;a woman;
of about 30yrs;with her car jacked up;changing a flat tire.I thought;I wonder if she needs help?I;slowly;braked,and drove my
Firebird across the median divider,drove back,crossed the divider
again,parked;and walked over to offer assisstance.I got to the car
and looked in.There;sleeoing;on the back seat was her husband/
boyfriend,whatever.He looked perfectly healthy.She never even said "Thank You."I got back in my car and left;pissed that she didn't even wake him up!Also mad at myself for even taking the ;time and trouble;to go back there!My Firebird was set up for
Drag Racing.The trips over the median didn't help my customised
supension!I suppose I sucked myself in.They didn't ask for help.
Has anyone else ever been sucked in by trying to help others?
