If your standing next to a car flailing your arms about like a man possessed I would definitely stop and lend a hand... I guess I'm just one of the good *beep* aye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that really pisses my off.As I said I cant see myself helping anyone anymore and I work in the health system.that's what I think ratter, it only take a few seconds to stop and ask.

I stop and always will. Did you try and wave a car down or just rely on your bonnet being open as an indication of help needed? Don't paint others with the same brush.But yes there are a few rude Aussies who don't give a chit. Edited 16/03/13 09:43 AM by Kosij Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 13d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 16/03/13 09:57 AM Share Posted 16/03/13 09:57 AM (edited) I've been in both situations..One stuck on the side of the road out of mobile range after rolling a work 4wd..Another where I just drive past people..Ratter is right.. The logical assumption is they have a phone and without sounding rude in the case of a mechanical issue there isn't much I can do.. If we are in an area of no mobile coverage I will offer them water which I always carry and drive to the next phone signal and call them RACQ.. If its a real emergency people will flag you down.. Not just wait on the side of the road hoping you'll stop..But what pisses me off?Cold water.. And work..And work..And Saturdays..

Now just do so if something is obviously wrong or it's something nice on the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting home at 7:30pm.. To my inlaws..After leaving home at 3:00am..And they tell you how exhausted they are after a big day of visiting people and are hogging both showers so they can have an early night..You f*cking kidding me!!
