What's The Nicest Thing You've Done For Another Motorist?

It's going to be a long day. Instead of focusing on the bad, let's focus on the positive. What's the nicest thing you've done for another motorist?

Being gentleman, we've always been available to help another person fix their flat tire. If this other person just happens to be a cute young girl, so be it. The most memorable version of this involved going to a nice luncheon organized for a volunteer program we were participating in. Everyone was dressed up and, after lunch, we were off to a play. That's when one of the young ladies in the program noticed her Mercury Cougar had a flat.

No problem, this is why we keep a four-way wrench in our trunk. We lifted the car and started to work on the lugnuts. Unfortunately, the wheels were put on by a retail tire jockey with power tools and a hard-on. It took twenty minutes in the hot August sun and Houston humidity to get the stupid wheel off. By the time we were done our clothes were drenched with sweat, our hands were nearly black, and we looked like we'd just gotten in a fight and lost.

How about everyone else? We're sure you're all more chivalrous than us.
