maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street.
didn't technically happen on the street but on the road.
this really happened. i was 15.
i was headed to an opera in the park event in san francisco with my family. we were gonna meet my 11th grade teacher there because i was the only one who wanted to go. to get there from where we lived you had to go on mountain roads for about 3 hours.
30 or so minutes into driving, where most people lose cell service, there was a car ahead of us. the car breaks strongly after going about 60 mi/hr...a couple of times.
the third time it started smoking, came to a dead stop, and a native american woman fucking jumped and rolled out of the passenger's side. we immediately stopped.
the woman, younger than i am now, got up and ran to us at top speed and we all got out. she was screaming and crying and explained to us that her ex-boyfriend had kidnapped her and she was afraid he was gonna kill her. guy jumped out of the car and my mom started screaming at him and we all looked as if we were gonna jump him. he got back in his car, after an awkward dance of lunge and backtrack, and drove away. we all jumped back in, the woman sitting next to me in the backseat, and headed back to the last town.
i was the only one with half a bar of service. i called the cops and we met at a jack in the box. the cops did nothing. she lived on the res so i guess it was to be expected, but with the amount of women and girls who "go missing" there it's not hard to add up the facts and draw conclusions.
we waited for her family to come and pick her up.
one of the weirdest things to happen to me, the next day i told my teacher we saved someone's life on the way to san francisco.
