Unfiltered Story #18560

Some years ago, when I was still learning to drive, I was driving my mother and sister home along some country roads late in the afternoon. It was getting dark and had been snowing, and the roads hadn’t been cleared yet.

A large truck was coming from the other direction. I didn’t want to hit it, so I drove closer to the side of the road–but because of the snow, I couldn’t see the road’s edge, and I went over the edge and into the ditch. We were all fine, but the car was stuck and none of us had cellphones.

A few minutes later, we saw headlights coming from the other direction. The truck driver had seen us and come back. He got a chain from the one house anywhere near us, and he and the man who lived there helped pull us out.

Gentlemen show up where you least expect them sometimes!
