oK, You asked for it.

About a month ago I came upon a gentleman on a scooter in the middle of the road with his battery dead. He is sitting and using his feet to try to scoot off the road. I get out of my car and ask if I can help. He says yes, then has me pop it into neutral, as he can't, because the lever is in the back, and asks me to push him to the sidewalk. He says thanks, and because we are on the top of a small hill he tells me he can coast home (about 5 houses down). I say, "are you sure?"
yes he says, as he thanks me. I get back into my car and look in the rearview mirror as he gets up and starts pushing the cart himself down the sidewalk!!! My wife laughs as the smoke rolled out my ears. It took everything I had not to turn around.

True story
