[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My car literally died at a red light. Apparently my car battery is leaking acid/died prematurely and a new one was needed. It wasn’t getting charged while driving. I didn’t know this when I left the house. I tried putting the car in neutral and pushing it to the shoulder but couldn’t physically do it. I’m a 5’2” woman and I weight 120 pounds. I simply couldn’t push it myself and steer the car safely. People whizzed by me honking and screaming. Clearly I am not sitting here and trying to push this car by myself for no reason. One guy yelled at me “this ain’t a parking lot, you can’t park there”. Seriously? I got very lucky and a firetruck with 3 firefighters passed by and helped me push the car to the shoulder and held traffic for me. I had to wait 90 minutes for a tow truck and only 2 people stopped to ask if I needed help. I understand I am owed nothing but I can’t believe how I was treated. I feel like this is just a greater trend of people becoming ruder and community disappearing.  [/quote]

That sucks. Good no one was hurt.

To get more empathy, need to change the fabric of thinking. People on this board and out there in real life think "it's none of anyone's business, keep walking away, why is their issue your problem..." That sort of mindset has always been in the great US of A. It also exists among other humans not just Americans, unfortunately.[/quote]
