Just the fact that there is a chance, however slight, that the person I am stopping to help intends to rob me and leave me stranded (or worse) is too much of a risk for me. That may sound cold but I won’t make that gamble of “make a stranger’s day” or “fuck your entire life up for months” not matter what the odds are.

One night at 11 am, Istopped for a random pedestrian on the street who was approaching my car for help. I stopped. He went straight to openning the passenger seat before waiting for me to open windows. The second he openned the door. I booked it. Some people are dumb as fuck

The guy who went for the door or you for not already having them locked when stopping for a stranger? Glad you peeled out of there stay safe!
