Yesterday morning, I was taking my dog for her morning constitutional (read "poop walk") and about a hundred yards up my street, there was a car parked at the curb. I took note of it because parking isn't allowed on that side of the street and because it was occupied. As I reached the car, I noticed the right rear tire was pretty much flat, so I played Captain Obvious and pointed it out to the drive, who happened to a younger woman. She indicated she was aware and that was the reason for her being immobile. She had called for a tow but the wasn't expected to arrive for an hour. The poor soul had two kids in the car and I knew it was going to be a most unpleasant day for her. I told her I had an air compressor and if she wanted to back down to my house (after my dog had pooped), I'd see if I could throw enough air in the tire to allow her to reach a tire place. She gratefully accepted and I went to work. Fortunately, the leak wasn't catastrophic, so the mission was successful, and she drove off after offering me copious amounts of thank you's.
To be clear, I'm not looking for pats on the back for doing the right thing. Honestly, I'm happy I was in a position to help someone in need. The simple act brightened the rest of my day. Although, it is disappointing she didn't offer to come back and give me a world class blowjob for getting her out of a jam.
