She was parked by the athletics building, and a young football player walking through the parking lot, was kind enough to push it so I could bump start it for her. So refreshing to see there are still nice people on the planet.


My brother drives a 1954 bug as a daily driver. One day when we went to work it was raining and he left his light on. Obviously the battery was dead. He saw a couple of 20 something coworkers walking to their cars nearby. My brother asked them to push his car and they laughed and said they are not pushing him home. He explained he just need them to get the car moving and they pushed. They were amazed when it started, and he drove home. The coworkers had never seen that before and had no idea it was possible.
