Flat out of cash

Posted by

·

My wife went to get into her car and noticed a flat tire with a nail in it. She called Roadside Assistance, and went to get the spare tire out of the trunk. She stores a lot of stuff in her car for work, so getting to the spare tire was difficult. Our neighbor noticed her struggle and jumped in to help. Then, before she went back home, the neighbor nicely offered up a $10 bill she had on her in case my wife had no cash to tip Roadside Assistance when they came.

Fortunately, professional help came quickly, the tire was changed and my wife now had a cash tip on hand to offer. She kept saying afterwards: “Isn’t that the sweetest gesture?” She was so touched that the neighbors noticed her situation and went above and beyond to help out.
