While stopped at an intersection on my way to the gym today, my car’s engine sputtered and then stalled. I tried to restart the engine but the green light came too soon. With a handful of cars already lined up behind me I had to push my car through the intersection onto the nearest median. As I awkwardly pushed and steered my car at the same time, I was pleasantly surprised by a guy who jumped out of his truck and helped me push. Evidently he wasn’t looking for a new friend; he was on his way almost before I had a chance to say thanks.
Naturally, when I got back into my car it started immediately. So, NBD!
