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. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

She sounds like a shallow ho really. You were trying to help and she was stupid enough to actually try and pull that trick. Funny though nonetheless

Omg I hate attractive women who do that, because then when I need some help I can't even charm a dude! The OP sounds like a normal, random dude. Besides, whatever happens you just kick him in the nuts, get in your car, lock the door and call the cops.

Maybe this whole argument is not so much about being a man vs. a woman, but about being a person who can protect himself/herself from any potential danger vs. someone who cannot. Personally, I know that I probably would not have the strength or street smarts to avoid an ill-minded stranger, and so I exercise caution in situations where many people might not; call it irrational if you wish. I don't know if society is trying to imbibe an "All men are creeps!" sort of prejudice, but if we are getting more paranoid in that sense, how is your average Joe or Jane supposed to see past all that media hype and hysteria? I do know that the crime rate is going up in a lot of areas; I definitely don't know if it was precipitated by the view of women as victims which had been caused in turn by the apparent paranoia. I mean, how *would* you know? Until further notice, my doors are locked and I'll try not to be too much of a bitch about it. Sorry. :/

Yes, men can be victims too, but women are more likely to be blamed for "letting it happen".

she's deserves to be stuck in the middle of no where becuz she wudnt let you help her, but you deserve it by saying attractive, implying that you werent helping her just becuz your a "nice guy"

So...we can't just passively state whether someone is attractive or not without there being an ulterior motive? I can say that I've helped many people who are attractive just to help. I've helped plenty of less attractive people as well for the same reason. However, I won't fault the woman. As people have stated many times above, you really have no way of knowing if a stranger has good intentions or not. And to stay alive, it helps to assume the latter.

Right before you drove off, you should have yelled "by the way, I'm a mechanic"

Before you drove off, you should have said " Oh yeah I'm a mechanic"
