Got a flat on I-5 last Thursday and a random guy helped me change it in 12 minutes

I was stuck on the shoulder near Exit 23 around 6 PM with a shredded tire. This dude in a beat up Toyota pulled over, handed me a proper lug wrench, and we had it swapped before the tow truck even got there. He didn't want any cash, just said pay it forward. Has anyone else had a total stranger save your day out of nowhere?

Must've been the universe's way of saying you owed someone a favor anyway.

Honestly, "pay it forward" guys are the best kind of people. Last year I was stuck in a parking lot with a dead battery and this random lady just pulled up with jumper cables like it was nothing. She even gave me a ride to get coffee after, told me how her dad taught her to always help people on the road. Tbh, that kind of stuff sticks with you way more than any fancy gift ever could. Ngl, it makes me want to be that person for someone else someday.
