I LOST ALL HOPE FOR HUMANITY THIS MORNING...

[Boujee Bonita Braxton]

Sitting on the hood of my car on the side of the highway at 7:30 am in 30 degree weather.

I work about 30 minutes from where I live and during my commute this morning my tire blew. I pulled over and put on my flashers hoping someone (preferably someone who knew how to put on a spare) pulled over to help....30 minutes later... No one.

So then I thought, "Hey...maybe they can't see me" so I proceeded to put on my coat and get out and sit on my car.... No one stopped.

I counted 4 different police cars that passed by and even they didn't stop. It sucks because my husband is the type that if he sees a car stranded he stops to help because he says that if it were me he'd hope that someone would help......

People suck!

To my step dad and husband's defense they TRIED to teach me. Everything I learned went out the window when emergency set in.

I live in Georgia!!!! I was surprised too because I thought southerners were supposed to be more helpful and friendly!

I guess that's only true later in the day after they've had their grits and coffee.

First, you lost for thinking anyone has an obligation to help you. That being said, too many random variables. Also, 30 degree weather and during the morning commute, I'm not sure the average person is up to help a random stranger pro bono.

Call a taxi cab, they change a tire and charge a battery cheaper than a tow truck.

Uber might offer similiar services, increase your basic survival skills.
