rebecky_mo | I did a good deed today. *proud*

I was waiting in the parking lot for my sister to finish (thought she might want a ride home after a long day), when I noticed a lady and her daughter kinda standing around a car, occasionally looking at a storm drain at their feet. When I went over to ask, turns out the mom dropped her car key down the deep drain, and were waiting for her husband to show up to see how they could get it out. They'd already been there about 15 mins or something.

I felt bad for them, since it was cold and the store didn't have any tools to help in the meantime. So, figuring I had a few minutes, I zipped back to the house (a few blocks away) and grabbed a crowbar and ice fishing scoopy-thing to see if I could help out.

I was too weak to open the drain myself with the crowbar, but luckily, three guys came out of the store and noticed me and the mother standing by the drain with the tools (which must have been one hell of a funny sight xD). It took all three of them to lift the drain cover up while I snagged the key with the ice scoop, but we managed to get the keys out! Naturally, her husband showed up just as we got them out. LOL.

She thanked us all for our help, saying it would have cost her 100 bucks to get a new set; she even gave me twenty bucks for my help, even though I told her I didn't want it. Seeing as my sister wasn't out yet, I figured I missed her coming out (I did), so I went home.

So yes, I was the good samaritan for today. Felt good to do something for someone. =3
