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

Same thing different taste
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, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML
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
Today, my minivan broke down on the side of the highway. I'm out of work and can't afford a cell phone, so I resorted to standing at the back of my van holding a "HELP" sign. About an hour went by, in which time I was passed by a cop car, a firetruck, and a car that said "Roadside Assistance." 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, I saw a crash on the highway. The police weren't yet there, so I pulled over to help because I know CPR. No one needed CPR, but I had locked myself out of my car. My roadside assist won't come to highways, so I had to get towed away in front of everyone. FML
Creeped out
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, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML
Today, a guy's car broke down in my street, so I helped him push it into my driveway, checked his car out, and gave it a jump start. He thanked me, then as he went to pull out, he instead smashed straight into my car. 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

That's part of the reason it's so hard to help people anymore.

Personally, I'd make sure the car can't be taken by taking the key and locking the doors.

Well, that'll teach you to lock your doors and take your keys out of the ignition when getting out of your car around strangers (or even around people you know). Also, if her car is broken down, get the plate number so the cops can find her name, therefore tracking down where she lives. Could be a shot in the dark if she's fleeing, but it's worth a try.

Why didn't you have your keys with you? YDI.

She also could have picked his pockets for his keys. I mean if she's really good at it she could do it without him noticing. He also could have had his keys partially sticking out like I do with mine.

That smarmy girl in those progressive commercials comes to mind.

That's why you call the police to have them deal with it

Why would you leave your keys in the ignition? I always take my keys with me when I'm not in the car.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It's good to see that there are still others whose IQ isn't lower than that of an average rock.

Hey now... don't insult the average rock! Some of them are smarter than some people I know...

in the words of wisdom of Homer J. Simpson: "Never help anyone". (sorry about that though)

That's why I roll down the window and ask what the problem is, and if I do get out I shut and lock the door.
