Irresponsible to run out of gas? Yes. But so what? Who hasn't done plenty of irresponsible things in their lives? Let's hope that's the worst your daughter can come up with!
It seems that driving is one of the most dangerous things we do on a regular basis. Every time we get in the car, we are trusting our fellow humans (maybe dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands of them depending on where you are driving) to be driving mindfully, not distracted by a phone or their own thoughts or too much alcohol or too little sleep or whatever.
And yet, because it is such a mundane and regular occurrence, we conveniently forget the inherent danger involved in operating large machinery at unnatural speeds with lots of other people on the roads. So it's ironic that stopping by the side of the road is seen as such a dangerous thing to do.
Reminding each other of the kindness of the many humans we share this beautiful planet with seems like a good idea. It's important to counteract the relentless negativity that seems to permeate so much media these days. We need something snappy and pithy to replace "If it bleeds it leads".
Yes, I'm grateful to know what an exceedingly cautious driver (who knows well that she needs to be super mindful of the other drivers on the road) she is! Thanks for playing "spin the story" with me!
No ID? Really? I say she's very lucky with all the story's these days about abductions (that depends on the area she was in of course). If she isn't gonna have her wallet why doesn't she have a PIC of the AAA card on her phone?
I assume she would pay for gas with her phone? At least when CBDC'S arrive she'll be ready!!
My husband let me know after I wrote this that AAA showed up and the guy hung out with her as the other stranger procured the gas. He wasn't able to help her because she had no way to pay for the gas that he could accept. She does seem to have good fortune in her life. I like to think she recognizes this and is grateful for it.
Hopefully she took down the AAA person's name and called to give a compliment? Also maybe the person that supplied the gas to repay them? Probably could have done a Zelle/PayPal payment for gas if that was how she was going to pay for the gas she was going for?
