RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Sitting in my car at the peak of a tall bridge in the middle of a crazy rainstorm.
It's 3AM. I don't want to go home. Ever.
Suddenly car pulls over and guy gets out and knocks on the window to see if I need any help. I tell him the car was acting up (it wasn't) and it might start (it did). He offered to follow me home in case it died again.
If he hadn't followed me home I might have decided to jump that night.
He probably thought he helped a stranded motorist during a crazy storm.
I bet he was relieved that you provided a plausible cover story and neither of you needed to have that convo.
50-50 you know he knew you had plans.
Glad he helped you out and I wish you the best!
