Faith in Humanity Restored Infinitely.
Hey Tumblr! I'm not one for posting long-winded stories but one of the most unbelievable things happened tonight.
I, being the pessimistic prick that I am, had pretty much lost all hope in humanity, heck in all existence of mankind, up until tonight.
I picked up a flat driving home from an amazing wedding when two chaps pulled up next to me and jump out .Here's me thinking "Shiet, this is how I get mugged at 3am at a petrol station in the middle of God damn nowhere".
These chaps emerge from their shifty-looking vehicle, recognise the problem plaguing my car, roll up their sleeves and go "Right, come here boi". Let me remind ya'll, I've pulled into some dimly lit petrol station in the middle of the night ALONE and am stranded in need of desperate help.
They make their way over to me, help calm me the f*ck down (Cos' I'm an absolute calamity when it comes to manly work), ask me to pop my boot and do the unthinkable; they willingly and enthusiastically change my tire for me. That's right. Two random strangers, who happened to be brothers, get down on their knees and get their hands horrifically dirty to help me, a helplessly pathetic looking amoeba.
And what did they ask for in return? Absolutely nothing. They refused money, dinner, drinks, heck they even politely declined an all-expenses paid trip abroad to the Maldives. These brothers pulled over and helped an absolute damsel in distress for one reason and one reason only; and I quote:
"If we were in the same situation, we'd hope that someone would help us. We had someone steal 2 of our tires earlier tonight and we'd hate to see someone suffer like we did. We're just happy to help a fellow Malaysian."
Pure and plain honest, morally-rooted citizens that were looking out for a fellow human being. I openly expressed how indebted I was to these great people and was eternally grateful for their assistance, know-how and never-ending friendliness.
After a short 20 minute fix-up, I was well on my way. I humbly shook the hands of my saviours, we exchanged numbers and bid them farewell on their journey back home.
I am writing this from the safety and warmth of my home because of these outstanding gentlemen.
I've heard stories of people screwing others over, assholic shitheads roaming the streets, and absolute inconsiderate bumheads ruining people's lives. But I'd like to remind the good people of this planet that there are some fantastic souls about; any of whom may be just around the corner willing to help you in your utmost desperate time of need.
(Picture below as proof that they helped change my tire and escort me home. Thanks a lot Roy and Neil!)
P.S: I live in Malaysia, a nation sandwiched between Singapore and Thailand (For those who are terrible at geography), which despite being known as a friendly melting pot of numerous cultures, beliefs, customs and traditions, it isn't known for its good Samaritans or its "healthy" crime rate. So this happening is truly a one-in-a-million occurrence.
