About 15 years I ago I was working late on a Saturday night. Got out of work around midnight, then because Canada, we were getting buried with snow. It took me an hour to clean off my car and shovel a way out of my parking spot. So now it's really late. Leaving the parking lot I see a young couple about my age and they look frozen. Shivering waiting for a bus, that due to the weather probably wouldn't be around anytime soon. I wouldn't ever really do this but I stepped out of my car and politely asked if they needed a ride. They were going the same way as was and they seemed non-threatening. I know this is how true-crime stories start, but I couldn't just leave them out there in the storm. I told them they could sit in the back and I'd drive them as long as they didn't stab me or rob me. They agreed. What normally would've been a 15 minute drive took more than 45 minutes. We talked along the way and they seemed like a very nice couple. When we got to their drop off they were so appreciative and offered to pay me what little money they had. I just told them to do something for someone else down in the future. I never saw them again, and I know it could have been dangerous, but sometimes you have to take a chance and help someone out. I don't think I've ever told this story before. I'm just glad they weren't left out there in that storm all night.
