Answers: How did they help?? Thank you.
Yeah. I just learned how to ride a bike and followed my sister down the hill. In the moment, I forgot the brakes weren't manual and crashed into a dumpster, breaking my wrist.
Two guys that were working around there helped me up and took me and my sister back home. . .
ahhh the good ol' days.
Yes, two nice lawn guys helped change my flat tire :)
lol...No as I would never let them get that close, besides people are to busy these days standing on each other!
not that i remember ....
Yes, my car broke down just off the motorway, i had help on the way but a very kind man stopped and helped me. i was very grateful. just goes to show that there are still decent people out there!
Yes when my wife took ill
They helped themselves to my purse when I stumbled and fell in the street.
Yes, I had a flat tyre and a man stopped and changed it for me.... how nice.
yes,a stranger put money in the parking meter so I wouldnt get a ticket
without going into detail...yes many times.
i am the good samaritan
yes.
when they said what the time is
Yes, from holding open doors for me when I had an armful of stuff to letting me use their cellphone and helping me out when I crashed my car.
I try to help others as much as I can, I figure pay it forward really works.
yes. They picked my shopping up when my bags burst in the middle of the street. But I think they nicked my bar of milk chocolate, cos it wasn't there when I got home.
Yes, once I was in a plane heading back home to heathrow, and the planes front window in teh cockpit cracked and we had to make an emergency landing in Italy, and I had no money or any way of contacting my family to tell them what happened.
We sat in a lobby for 6 hours, with nothing to eat or drink, everybody on the plane brought out drinks and food they had and shared it, and one lady who had euros spend abut 50 euros on caling cards and went arround offering everbody the cards to let there families know what is going on.
Yes. When I was attacked by my ex boyfriend. I ran out of the house and into the nearest place where i could see someone. Which happened to be Pizza Hut! The Manager helped me inside, locked the doors, phoned the police and ambulance, even offered me a stiff drink. Really nice man. Glad some of them are!
happened a few times, yes, by giving me an advice or just listening.
i went to bank and my ATM card was faulty., i sat outside on couch with head on knees., but a stranger came to ask me wat was wrng..? She gave me her ATM card. to use...she is now my best friend.
I passed out in Liverpool Street Station a few months ago, and this guy that worked there picked me up. Sat with me in the medical area. Called my mum. Called my work. And got me back on a train home- AND sat with me on the journey! (It was a good 20 minutes ride home!) I know he worked there, but that was still going beyond he job. He was lovely :)
When I was a runaway teenager I left home and went to Hollywood, Californiain 1980. I was trespassing on the Dukes of Hazzard set and was approached by a security officer who had threatened me the day before that if I came back on the lot I'd be arrested.. John Schneider, (Bo Duke) helped me. Read my entire story on my 360.
I never take help from any stranger except in bad situations where i had to take help from them. I had been always told that taking help from strangers could be dangerous for your life.
No they have not
Not personally, but my wife has been helped when she ran out of petrol.
If I'm out driving (bike or car) I always try to help anyone who appears to need help. I've changed a few wheels and my tool kit has been used a few times on broken down motorbikes (once it was a Police bike!!)
Yes! I nearly missed my plane back home when I got completely lost on the rail system in Tokyo trying to get to the airport. I didn't speak much Japanese, and most of the Japs on the trains couldn't understand what I was asking them. It was so frustrating cos I had set out on my journey 2 hours beforehand even though the train journey was only supposed to take about 40 minutes tops (if I got it right, that is). Finally, a stranger helped me get to the airport in the right train even though he could barely speak English either, but he tried really hard to understand me and even personally walked me to the right platform and waited with me until I got onto the right train. I got to my plane just a minute before take off, the staff told me the plane was actually waiting for me cos I was the last passenger, and I felt so lucky I even managed to get on the plane at all! (I took United Airlines, perhaps that's why. If I was on some budget airline I might not have gotten such good service...)
Strangers have helped me in so many ways I could go on writing forever.
But, I will tell you of a friend of mine who went to Germany to be with the man of her dreams (she had met him in her own country). Once there, she realized he was not a gentleman. One day after an argument, she stormed out of the house vowing never to return. She walked around aimlessly and finally started crying. A stranger asked her why she was crying. The stranger, happened to be a Turkish Muslim and took her to her home and that same evening organized a 'meeting' where many wives came. Some were poor and others had several young children. Her story was told to them and each woman put coins or notes in the hat that was being passed round. It was just enough to buy her fare back home. They never asked her her name and she didn't know theirs, but their generosity changed her life.
Yes, one time we were out in a storm and a woman came along in a car and gave us a lift to town.
