I met a friend of mine through a good deed. People often say my story is super cute, but a manly man such as myself refuse to acknowledge that.
Some time in the summer, I was driving home in a rainstorm on deerfoot. As I was driving, i noticed off a distance away a car was flashing its hazards and what look like an asian girl struggling to haul her spare out of her trunk. She wasn't a tall girl (about 4'11" maybe 5'1" at the most) and she was soaking wet. I slowed down, pulled over, and stepped out of the car. To my surprise, she dropped her tire and ran into her car and locked the door lol. I figured she was probably just trying to be safe, so I walked up to the driver side and asked if she was ok, and if she needed any help. First thing I noticed was how super cute this girl was. She rolled her window down till there was a little crack (about 1/4 inch) and said she was fine and that she didn't need any help. Even thinking about it now makes me laugh. Noticing that she was a bit scared, I offered again to help and assured her I only had good intentions. I gave her my license through the window crack and told her to call someone, tell them who she's with and where she is currently at. This helped put her at ease a little.
I went to work and changed her tire. Once i was done, I told her she can come out and inspect it once I have driven away. To my surprise, she opened the car door, gave me my license back, and thanked me for helping her. I got in the car and drove off, keeping an eye on the rear view to make sure that she was able to drive off as well.
So a few weeks later I get a phone call. She somehow managed to track me down. I'm guessing she copied my address from my license and did a reverse number lookup. We went out for a thank you supper and still remain friends today.
