Default humanity is the virus

So I left work last night and went across the street to the liquor store. This woman is standing in front of her car with about 3 guys and there is smoke pouring out from one of the radiator hoses, bracket had busted and there was nothing holding the hose on. the 3 guys are sitting there telling her she needs to have the thermostat checked; all 3 of them are saying this. Granted the thermo could be jacked up, but having this checked whenever she gets around to it wont do anything for the disconnected hose in the meantime.
So she’s thanking them and closing the hood and planning to just keep on driving with one of the hoses disconnected and smoke pouring out. I had kept my mouth shut until this point but then I felt like I couldn’t just let her drive off so I asked if she needed any coolant and she and the 3 guys practically snap at me and tell me “it doesn’t need any!” still feeling like I should help I asked if I could take a look at it. so I end up fashioning a make shift tourniquet type bracket out of a mini bungee cord I had… to at least keep the damn hose attached until she can get it replaced/repaired. I also added some coolant because it DID need some.
Anyway, I took 5 min of my time to help this woman and gave her the little bungee and some coolant and the bitch didn’t even thank me, just drives off.
WTF?

people suck

good on you for helping her....

I hate it when people do that

especially when you open the door for people and they dont say "Thank you"

I just scream "Your welcome!!" at them, maybe they will learn some manners..

Actually what I've done is just slam the door on their face if they don't say Thank You. But yeah people are getting more and more rude everyday. Annoying as hell.

Good job for helping her. Hopefully she didn't make it two blocks
