editor's note //
Alone, embarrassed and helpless, I gave myself a minute to swear aggressively at my apparent overbearing stupidity. The minute ran out and, fighting the urge to cry, I pulled myself together, stuffed my cell phone in my pocket and started to walk.
dilapidated Toyota, holding his spare gas tank,
at his mercy to get home.
I was stranded on the side of Highway 24/40, a winding two-lane road that runs through farmland parallel to Interstate-70 between Lawrence and Kansas City. I had run out of gas.
I walked up to a run-down automotive repair shop — the only building on the road for as far as I could see. The man who emerged looked nearly as old, worn-out and lonely as his shop — someone I never would have interacted with under normal circumstances. But here I was, in his
He drove me to my car, filled up the tank and politely refused to accept any of the tiny amount of cash I offered him.
He said he always liked to help people out. His dad died on the side of a highway like this because no one stopped to help and a car later hit him while he waited. It was a terrible way to go, and the man didn't want any other family to go through something like it.
Check out Jake's story on page 19 about his encounter with kind strangers in New Zealand. Perhaps the next time you see someone stranded, you can be the one someone writes about later.
With the terrible luck I've had with cars, this isn't my only story of random acts of kindness. Many people have helped me out over the years (including Jayplay editor Sean Rosner), but the man from the run-down automotive repair shop always sticks out in my mind because he had no ties to me. — no obligation to help me out. I never got his name and I'll probably never see him again, but I'll always be thankful.
