Wife parks car in a temple near school in city as do a lot of parents. Calls me on video chat about battery being flat. Showed her where jumper leads were, open bonnet, flag anyone driving nearby, busy car park. Sad to watch her being turned down by about a dozen parents. “Sorry can’t”, “sorry busy”, to name a few reasons. Where’s the spirit in the temple? 😂😂😂 School bus driver came to her rescue. Thanks mate! 
I always lend a helping hand in these situations especially if a lady asking. Do you?

I make it a point to always go to the aid of a damsel in distress, especially the good looking ones. 

I got into an accident once years ago in Thailand and was on the phone with a girlfriend and she wanted to know where I was. I had no clue I had driven to Laos. I knocked on a guys window who was sitting in his truck so my gf could talk to him. And he would not roll down his window. And my smashed car was sitting right there. Idk I just always found it quite astonishing

Few years ago a Farang lady on here ,saying she had just returned from holiday

and battery is flat , I went to help her , battery dry as a nuns tit , filled it

up with distilled water ,and started it with jumper cables ,told her maybe

needs new battery.

Nuh. Equality. Plus being abused and/or criticised if it does not work out as they want.

You would’ve definitely helped my wife then 😉😉😉

How was the end? Did you marry her?😳

I'm in two minds here.

 

The gallant-knight in shining armour on a big white charger (pun intended) in me would immediately gallop to her assistance.

 

The sceptic in me says "honey trap", get me out of my vehicle then bop!! 

 

In a temple parking with lots of people about the knight wins hands down, on a dark country road ...

 

This is what Roadside-Assistance is for.

I will always give someone a helping hand, man or woman if the need arises. It is called being polite and considerate.

Now now where are the other six dwarfs to cheer you up?

I was in her situation a few months ago. Tuck Tuk driver stopped when he saw I had raised the hood. He walked across the street to borrow jumper cables from a motorbike shop. Cables not long enough, I thanked him. Gave a tip and the auto roadside insurance service guy soon showed up (I was in Chiang Mai city). My “Do a good deed daily” usually equates with busy traffic allowing someone else to go first.

Jump packs available quite cheaply now, unless your battery is 100% or you want to be able to help others, can keep one in your boot/trunk.

Are they in distress before or after you approach?

Part of the problem might also be that few people know how to do that.

Who helped already anybody with a flat battery or was helped?

 

I know, it's not rocket science. But things can go wrong. And people might connect the cables incorrectly.

And these days with cars full of electronics I wouldn't want to be the guy who just created a shortcut and destroyed half the electronic.

They were taken/robbed when they stopped for a 'honey pot' - Dopey, Bashful and Doc are still at the Police pleading their case, and the others have disappeared.  Snowy is looking after me right now, and then I will be Happy (again).

A neighbour near me squeezed a couple of lemons into the batter and it eventually worked.

Ah, for the good old days of the starting handle.

 

 

 

I would walk up to her, put my hand out to take the cable and then drop them and walk away.

 

I am an alien remember.  I don't exist here.  How can I help anyone if don't exist?

You do not need to remind us........

Thais have always been helpful to me. 

 

B-Quik will come and jump you, or change a tire, free.

Yeah bout 12 months ago motorway 7 on my commute home.

Small sedan up ahead exploded a right rear tyre and the driver nearly lost control... I slowed, the car manage to pull over to the hard shoulder so I did to.

Young lass got out clearly shaken.

I asked if she needed help and she replied she did... I help change her tire and sent her on her way... with my phone number of course !

I was told years ago to not jump start someone else's car with mine, reason being car computers are not cheap, a few other reasons as well that I forget now, there is road side assist, get it.

You have to watch out for dwarfnapping people

I like watching women push huge cars around in the carpark and getting no help.  Makes me feel warm inside.
