paying it foward

[SprinklerMan]

I was out working on lawn sprinkler systems today ( fathers day) I roll into my local 7/11 store . Here is a dodge mini van with tents strapped on the roof 3 kids and the hood up . Ohio tags and I am in maryland . He was overheating and didnt have any tools . Well on the heater hose a plastic "Y" had failed . Auto parts stores closed . So I have been in similar situations before . I look in my service truck and find a Poly Tee for lawn sprinkler systems , pliers and a screw driver . In about 20 minutes he is back together . He goes to try and pay me , No Thanks Just have a Happy Fathers day and go enjoy the beach

Feels good helping people like that.

I try to help as much as I can because i've been on the other side of that coin needing help.

You did good and in this world seems few and far between, I have been a situation like that and someone like you came to help so I try to be like you and pay it forward.

Not only a nice thing to do, but ingenious. Sounds like you were in the right place at the right time. 🙂

for all the great folks like Sprinklerman out there, and a few concerned Highway Patrol officers, I need a drop-down sign that can be activated from the drivers seat that just says "PSTOP, Thanks anyway"

Right on.

What goes around, comes around. Sooner or later, you will be rewarded in some way. Thanks for saving someone's family trip.

Way to go!!! I see an RV'er on the side of the road and I just want to stop and help.

Good job!

Thank You. I'm glad to see that good people are still around. If I ever meet up with you I'll buy you a beer , coffee, or pop.
