Today, I pulled over to help an attractive girl on the highway in the middle of nowhere. When I asked if she needed help she told me she was going to try starting her car one more time. She then started to make fake engine noises and told me that she was good to go and that I should be on my way. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML
Today, I was walking to a meeting and saw two girls trying to jump start a car in the rain. Thinking I'd be a gentleman and help them, I offered to assist. The girl whose car is broken down looks at me, looks at her friend, and says, "I think we'd better call the police." FML
Today, the girl I like was panicking because her car broke down, so I offered her a lift to wherever she needed to be. I drove her to her boyfriend's house. She asked me to drive her home in the morning. FML
Today, I was driving back home after hanging out with some friends. I drove pass a woman standing next to a broken down car. I felt bad, so went back and offered her a ride home. Turns out it wasn't her car and she was a hooker. FML
Today, I pulled over to help a girl with her car. I thought my limited mechanic skills would help look like a hero. She only needed her coolant cap unscrewed. With top down, shirt off, I was confident as I got out of my car. 10 minutes later I left because I couldn't unscrew the f***ing thing. FML
Today, my car broke down. I had a two mile, up-hill walk ahead of me. About half way up the hill, a car beeped. Thinking they were poking fun at my misfortune, I began to curse and use obscene gestures, only to find out that it was my neighbor asking if I needed a ride. She drove off. FML
Today, while getting gas, a hottie pulled-up to the pump next to me. I finished filling my tank and started to drive away. As I was checking her out and paying no attention to my driving, I ended up taking the front bumper off her car with my truck. FML
Today, my car broke down at a red light. A man pulled up next to me and yelled at me to get out of the fast lane. I thought he was gonna offer help, as I was a young woman on her own, but he just yelled at me and sped off. FML
Today, I was driving to a gas station because I'd noticed I was almost on empty. Literally a block away from the gas station, my car broke down in the middle of an intersection, and I had to push my car to the side of the road, only to be questioned by police for "suspicious behavior." FML
Today, my car died on a major road, a cop pulled over to help, he offered to jump me, while doing so because my battery was so dead he told me to put the gas on the floor, I did and my car roared to life, he then pulled me over five feet from where my car died to give me a ticket for a loud exhaust.

she may have had someone coming. You can't just trust every stranger's intentions. no need to hope the worst for 'er because she didn't want a stranger's services.

Exactly. While the fake engine noises is a pretty dumb thing to do, I would be scared too if I were stranded alone and a strange man stopped to "help." Who knows what he's going to do? Sure, most people are nice, but it only takes one creep to ruin your life.

I agree slimjim. you bascically said it all. if we as a nation weren't so ******* paranoid about everything we would be better off because people would be nicer. and by the way, yes I know by experience, lived in Chicago for 5 years. and not in a gated community either.

She had to have known that even if you were a creepy rapist/murderer that fake engine noises weren't going to stop you. It honestly isn't a very good tactic to scare anyone away but it is a good one to tell people to "**** off." That is what you get for trying to help a woman. I suggest next time you see a woman who may be or is in need of help that you just keep on moving. It isn't your problem.

She was probably just scared. She was alone and defenseless on a highway. For all she knew you could have been a serial killer.

Okay first off I understand a view of caution when dealing with strangers and the fact that the danger is probably higher for women, although this women had a ridiculous way of dealing with it. However some of these comments along the lines of 'for all she knew...' just irk me as it just shows the society we live in where the media puts us into a frenzy of fear through moral panics and it is no longer safe to interact with our local communities let alone strangers. best stop there before I launch into a full on rant.

YDI for being an idiot. Haven't you seen those highway scams on TV where people claiming to have broken down in the middle of nowhere have used the oppurtunity of someone coming to their aid to steal their valuables?
