IDK. I was raised traditionally. I saved loves point to buy a headset and other small items but usually after 3 or 4 fill ups I grab a bottle of Oil or Antifreeze just in case and I always end up giving them away to drivers in need at stops and on the side of the road.
I usually call out on the radio and if they respond they need help I stop. Or if in a area I know reception is poor I might stop.
If the weather is burning up I stop and offer some water if they need it. If it's freezing I offer one of my blankets. I can get another.
But then again, most the time you gotta flag me down or answer the radio .
If I'm in a rush #### you!

I always sit and shake my head at the ones that will drive past 50+ wide open empty parking spots and then work themselves to death , risking life, limb, and personal property trying to squeeze into the tiny spot near the front door.
I just do not , and will not, EVER understand the rationale behind that thinking.
I know some people are lazy , but the tiniest speck of common sense should over ride the Twinkie gene forcing them to be three steps from the front door.
They'll twist those trucks into pretzels... get in and out... look around... pull up... inch back... look some more... then WHAM !!
All the while they could've been the next row back , just 50 feet away , resting comfortably , with no stress , and intact fenders.1johnb Thanks this. -
Warrner truck sat night tacoma loves having a hell of time getting in a spot so I got out spotted for him, moved my truck back some, got him a little better lined up after about 15 minutes he got it then he got out laughing and said" I'm the trainer" we both had a good chuckle I told him I have been driving for years and I still have days backing you would think its been 2 weeks .

It's like the people at the store that will wait forever for someone to load up st a closer parking spot rather than drive down a bit.
A while back there was a guy holding up an aisle at Walmart waiting for a close spot. I saw there were spots open down the row so I went around him, he blew his horn at me. I glared at him and drove down and parked. I got out and started to walk towards the entrance. His stupid ### was still sitting there. As I passed, we made eye contact.
I said "I'm already going into the store and you're still sitting here like a moron. Good job!"
He didn't say anything. -
