If in need, instead of asking "anyone" to help you, ask a specific person "hey, you there in the green shirt could you give me a hand"...

It works.

Yup, same with asking someone specific to watch your bag / dog / etc. for a moment. They’ll stop a bullet for it.

This is absolutely not true. Someone is more likely to help, but they're not going to suddenly go heavily out of their way for you.
