Well, this is life
There are heroes, and there are zeroes

You, pete , are definitely of the first type, and unfortunately for heroes like you , societies are full of zeroes who always need others to help them survive. They have no brains, no thoughts , and do not seem to have any tangible goals in life.

This thread reminds me of the "difficult personlities " thread. And does illustrate how some folks cannot live without making life harder for other human beings.

In older days, I ALWAYS stopped when someone on a long desolate highway needed help. And it was a couple of boys like these who made me stop helping. Their car has stopped, and wouldn't start after being jump started by my car. I told them it was clearly not a battery problem and offered to take them to the next mechanic or gas station. But they were not convinced by my analysis and wanted to take MY car battery and fix it in their car. I forcefully shut down the hood of my car and left them on the road.
