WWYD????????????????

yes, wwYd? what would YOU do?Today i was on my way to run some errands and I live about a mile from the nearest shopping center.As i was leaving my neighborhood a man who looked to be in his late 40s was standing in the street with a boot cast on his foot and with crutches at his side, he was wearing sweatpants and hadnt shaved in what seemed like two weeks. he started to wave his arms around looking pretty desperate, im not sure if it was cuz i was jamming out to the new brittney spears song and driving well over the speed limit, or because he was in need of a ride to get out of the cold. As i slowed down and hesistantly rolled my window down to see what he needed a look of relief came over his face, thinking back now it was prolly because i was the only car to have stopped to see what he needed. He was quick to point out the fact that he was wearing a boot and had crutches( as if i couldnt already see that psssh) and that he could use a ride up the street to the shopping center. I unawarely and regretably let out a loud "ummmmmmm" and he could see i was hesitant and again pushed the boot and crutches fact on me as he waved them around to try to convince me to give him a ride. As if i wasnt having a hard time deciding to give this random guy a ride a mile up to the store out of this 40 degree weather and off his seemingly broken foot he was quick to say "and i'll be needing a ride back as well." I mustered up what little since i had in my head and said "sure" not thinking about what potential dangers lied ahead. As he crutched his way around the car to the drivers side i was quick to hide my huge purse by my feet and leaned over to open his door and grab his crutches to help him in(instantly thought well if the guy seems threatening I'll just pop him off with his crutch). he politely introduced himself, " blah blah" .......yes I dont recall the name that came out of his mouth, i dont know if it was because I was in shock that i was actually picking up and giving a ride to a complete strange middle aged man, or because he reeked of alcohol. FLASHBACK the smell brought back a memeory, and I realized I had seen this man around before. As i pulled off i knew immediatly where he wanted to go, ABC......aka the liquor store. But for some reason I offered to take him to the grocery store. We made small talk the whole way there. Well I guess talking about how he hates soap operas but has become addicted to them since he broke his ankle isnt really your average small talk. Anyways the offer to the grocery store was met with a shy boyish look you know the one where a kid is offered candy by one of his parents freinds and he knows his moms watching and knows he cant be rude but he WANTS that candy so bashfully he replies "The ABC store please". we finished our soap opera talk with me saying my personal favorite wasnt any of the ones he named off that hed been watching but in fact "days of our lives". We came to a stop and he said "your gonna give me a ride back right?" i tried to lighten the mood but joking ith him and saying no im gonna make you walk back in the cold on your broken ankle. I luaghed and he gave ma nercous chuckle and asked if i wanted anything. Nope Im good I'll circle around the lot and come back for you. As he closed the door and cars that were starting to line up to wait for me to get out of the middle street from dropping him off were getting visibly impatient. The thought of leaving right then and there flashed across my mind, as i circled the lot I even pondered stopping to ask shoppers crossing the street what they would do?!! I was desperate for a way out of this akward situation. My thought process ended and I had circled all the way back in front of the abc store where the stranger came hobbling out out of. He hopped in and try to give me 10 bucks for the ride and I politely reclined . He then said well if your not gonna take that at least take this and he pulled a mini bottle of brandy out. I accepted it as I knew it was no more than a buck 50, . FLASHBACK thats it!! thats where I had seen this man before! here at this very ABC store i shared my Flashback with the stranger and he didnt seemed suprised " yea i dont doubt you seen me there before"........ As i drive him back to his house he starts talking about his work and before i know it were back at the spot where I picked up the crippled man. I came to a halt and he asked if i like golf. I said "nooope" "well how about bowling" he says and i could see where this convo was goin so for the sake of ending it i replied " yep! love bowling!!" he offered to take me bowling and gave me his business card shook my hand and thanked me for the ride and closed the door. so wwyd?did i do the right thing or did i just endange myslef beyond alll reason
