Need a Lift?

I can recall a few times where my ex's car had broken down and we would be sitting on the side of the road. Not one person would ever stop and ask us if we needed any help and at that time, we had no way of contacting emergency roadside assistance. Where I live now, that kind of thing seems to be unusual. People here are quite courteous and will ask if we need a ride home if they see us carrying just a few too many bags. It's really nice to know that there is always someone to help if you need it and gives hope that there are still good people in the world.
