I carry cables in my truck and needed a jump about a year ago. It's amazing how many people won't help you or look at you like a homeless man asking for money. I'm sitting there in a parking lot, hood up on my Tundra, cables in my hand....and 7 people walked by and said they couldn't help me. Finally a good baw hooked me up and was on his way in less than a couple minutes

It is crazy. My wife had a similar situation. I mean, short lady with young kids, needing a jumpstart in a parking lot. Not like she's going to attack you. We keep a set of cables in each of our cars.

I've helped people jumpstart several times. Even stopped on the highway on my way back from the beach one time to help this elderly couple change a tire. Poor guy said they had been there 45 minutes and hundreds or thousands of cars fly by. He was struggling to bust the lug nuts loose with his little ratchet. I kept a 4-way in my Jeep and popped them off in under a minute, jacked up his little pickup and put his spare on for him. Took less than 10 minutes.

Find a truck. Whoever owns a truck is 9 times more likely to help you than someone driving a car. I've helped at least 10 people who have asked. They always look for the guy in the pickup truck. They are just better humans
