Would YOU help an old lady cross the road?

Sorry to slightly derail this conversation but here is a true, hilarious story that happened to a good friend of mine.

My buddy is driving down 25th ave sw, on a Sunday, when he slows to a stop for an elderly woman crossing the street. She is halfway through the street when she faces her walker towards his car and starts walking over. He gets out of the vehicle and asks the woman if there is something he can help her with. She politely requests a ride to Church as she is going to be late. Now my friend is driving a 6 series, with minimal trunk space, but he find a way to position her walker in his trunk and proceeds to driver the elderly woman to Church.

He pulls up at the Church doors, gets out and hands the woman back her walker, at which point the women asks him if he will come join her in Church... (Not being of the Christian religion) he politely declines the offer explaining that he is of a different faith. To which the elderly women replies..."Oh, well then have fun burning in hell!" and slowly walks towards the church.

I've done it before while walking, never stopped my car though to help someone across. Good on this guy!

I've pushed a homeless lady in a wheel chair across a road and zipped up her jacket in the winter (She was clearly disabled and didnt have the best motor skills with her hands).

Good on this guy!

Mad Props man

Only in Forest Lawn

I used to live right by there. And can honestly say I could only expect this to happen in Forest Lawn of all places.

I hope you don't mind, but I posted in this in /r/Calgary on reddit. Someone was slagging Calgary drivers again, so I thought this would be good to share. I travel extensively across North America and Calgary is not worse off than any other city, in fact it's much better. I get so sick of people always slamming Calgary - most of them are disgruntled move-ins anyways.

feel free to share it all you want... just trying to prove that good deeds do not go unnoticed.

I've had this guy ask me to get him across the street too.. He was wasted.

Long beard? I always see him pushing himself across the street with his one leg against a green light. I was always getting pissed at him driving downtown but then I saw an article in the paper on him of how he smokes crack all day to numb the pain of his terminal illness and just waits to die. Then I didn't see him any more, felt kind of bad.

Not to toot my own horn but I've always been taught to respect and endear my elders.

I remember one time I was driving home after a night out with a few friends, and I saw an old man on the street fallen down with his cane out of reach.

Turns out someone had taken the taxi he was waiting for to go home and his care giver was off for the night, he decided to go out and that's what entailed.

He was laying there for 10-15 minutes before we ran into him and I offered to wait with him and call him a taxi, which didn't work out so I hopped in the back and gave him a ride home.

This is a topic I've always been fairly passionate about especially working in a mall, I see old people get bumped and disregarded and all they ever want to do is have a nice chat and enjoy their lives.

Good on your friend man, props.

This. Oh well +1 respect to lifted trucks w/nuts. Guess they're not all dbags.

Closest thing I did was at a red light, there was a bumper on the side lane which was sorta in the way so I got out and pushed it.

That video was totally shot on 17th Avenue SE or as beyond would put it the 'NE'

Guys in jacked up trucks with truck nuts driving in the 'ne' helping old women cross the street. Beyond's world has just been flipped the fuck up side down.
