RE: Getting helped by a girl to chan... (in reply to Florian)

My hats off to her! Nice job Karen.

As I was waiting to pick-up my daughter at her high school, a girl came out to find that she had a flat tire. She didn't know how to change it. None of her girl-friends knew how to change it. Two jock teenage boys in her clique didn't know how to change it.

Then this short quiet-looking boy on a skateboard comes up. He obviously doesn't know this crowd but he offers to help. He single-handedly changes the tire (with the jocks and the girls hauling the old tire away and into the trunk). As soon as he's done, he hops back on his skateboard and heads off. If those girls were thankful, they didn't seem to be very expressive about their gratitude. The jocks just walked away.

The bell rings and the other kids stream out from their classes. The girl who owned the car greets all her friends and tells them, "I changed a flat tire today!! I changed a flat tire!!" She does this about five times.

Geez!! I wish I knew the parents of that kid on the skateboard. I'd tell them what a swell son they had.

No worries - playing flamenco makes up for it, right?

I like the skateboard kid, he's a master.

thats a greate story

...its aways the ones u least expect... an ex girlfriends car broke down in a nice neighborhood.....noone stopped to help for 40 minutes...then she said finally the scariest looking man with no teeth and covered in tattoos stooped and changed her tire...just goes to show...

i had the same thing...if my car brakes down in a nice expensive neighborhood i am f*cked...if it happens in some poorer neighborhood theres always someone who stops to help

its like having too much or alot slowly eats away at your humanity and makes you paranoid ...in some cases (and ofcourse in some cases with good cause)

Whats it like in America ? excuse my ignorance but i dont know your country and i am courious..you see all this movies about gangs and the projects etc and its hard to know if its Hollywood or if its as dangerous as they make it seem..

is there places you just dont go to ? anyone here had any bad experiences ?...if you car brakes down ...does someone stop to help or .....
I don't know anything about Us...all my knowledge comes from movies and its hard to know ... how much is truth how much is fiction...

i might not know how to change a tire but i just finished stitching my favorite jeans back together (not joking)

...so lets see whos not a man now

maybe you should ask her if there's anything you can stitch for her to return the favor

... He plays flamenco and sews his jeans back together... that's plenty masculine.
