This may sound a little strange coming from a man. but I feel violated. Last night coming home from work I see a young lady in distress along the interstate I travel to and from work. Numerous cars before me pass her by as she is trying to flag someone down to help. The issue is a flat tire. I pulled over to render assistance.There is a young child in the back seat fast asleep in a car seat. I get out of my truck and ask if the young lady has a jack so we can start the process of changing the flat. She isn't sure so we search through the junk in the truck , no jack, no problem , as I have one. I loosen the lug nuts and proceed to jack the rear of the car up to change the tire. Once the rear tire is off the ground , I proceed to remove the lug nuts and flat from the car. Time spent so far 5 minutes and change. we both go to retrieve the spare from the car. There is a spare but it to is flat. It is now about 11:15PM. Decide it would be best to take the spare and the flat to a full service station just in case. Throw both in the bed of the pick=up and search the web for a near by full service station that is open via my cell. Find one 15 miles away, call to confirm they will be open when I get there and that a mechanic will be on duty. No problem, so far so good. Inform young lady this will take a while she and child can come with me or wait in the car. Young lady opts to come with me. We remove child seat and child from car an strap them in in my truck. Proceed to service station to get at least one of the tires repaired if possible to get her on her way home.Spare is shot, other tire is shot. What to do now. ask young lady if she can afford repair. it is $40 for the cheapest tire , which looks like a POS. She has 10 bucks to her name. I spring for the tire and tell her I'll exchange info later , she can pay me back when she has the money. Young lady agrees and we get a new tire for her car. It is now close to midnight, and I really need to get home and get some shut eye. On the way back I tell the young lady she can pay it forward by helping someone else, and not to worry about repaying me. She thanks me and says it is a big help as she is not employed. Not a problem. Get back to car put tire on and tell her to get a spare as soon as she can afford it. Put child and car seat back in her car and secure seat. I'm good with everything that happened up to this point, and am expecting her to say thanks and to go on her way. She then threw me completely for a loop. Now mind you I'm almost 60, and she couldn't have been more then 24. I was raised a Catholic, and have always been a gentleman. The next words out of her mouth were, "I have to repay you some how, how about a BJ or some other sex." It felt like hours before I replied as traffic went by. When I said no that was alright, she wanted to know what was wrong with her, and why I didn't want to have some kind of sex for repayment..
What the hell is wrong with America these days? Have we sunk that low? If this is what we've come to, I want no part of it. can anyone explain this type of behavior and the thought process behind it. if this is what happens over someone helping with a flat tire, should SHTF the country is in serious trouble.
