Today, I saw someone accidentally leave their headlights on downtown. Trying to be a helpful, I chased them down 2 blocks only to be informed that their headlights automatically turn off. FML

Thanks for all the friendly comments! The full story is that I was at outside of whole foods in my car when an old couple got out of their truck. I saw in my rear view mirror that they left their lights on. The street they were going down was a one way street, so I chased after them on foot. After some running and little shoving I reached them only for the wife to tell me "Oh hun, they turn off by themselves." I went back and yes, she was correct.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

No good deed goes unpunished, OP. Maybe they'll appreciate your concern?

A lot of new cars have auto off lights. mine does, but I'm used to people calling me out on forgetting to turn them off. And valet always turn of my lights. it's annoying. But it was a kind gesture to run after them.

Better safe than sorry, OP. At least you built up some good karma

I used to do that too, but now so many cars have that feature I've learned to ignore them. I still feel a twinge of guilt when I pass by them though.

Unless you just ran a marathon, 2 blocks is nothing to complain about.

My old 2001 crown vic has auto-off lights so I get people reminding me to turn them off all the time. It probably wasn't the first time someone tried to let them know and it was a nice gesture OP.

#52 Well that's a little extreme, it's just a mistake that can happen to anyone. I'd be grateful
