Steph, that dress did make me think of you.
This is my second go-round at the morning. It's somewhat depressing to know that I can make the airport-dropoff round trip in less than an hour, but that it has to be so early that I get home before my normal work wakeup time.
Anyway, father is safely dropped off for his flight to Jamaica, which is more than happened with his flight to Beijing. Suffice it to say that there's a young lady who stopped, lent him her phone, and then drove him to a good place to get a cab.
I'm really happy that he managed to make it to the airport in time to make the flight across the world, but a not-quiet part of me is screaming at the woman who did all that. It was just Saturday when I saw a "wanted, beware" poster of a guy who's running a "I need help to get to LAX to get home" scam that ends up in grand larceny.
IN HER CAR. Offered my father a ride--of course, he took it, so I wonder about the sense of everyone involved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

True 'nuff. But I'm supposed to be crazy and lack a sense of self-preservation. I'd never do all that. It's textbook get yourself robbed/assaulted setup.

It is! And it isn't. I think most people tend to be good and a "crime epidemic" of people who are carjacking nice airport-driving people is less an epidemic and the epidemic of fear caused by those stories.

Would you have stopped, lent a strange man your cellphone, gotten out of the car to talk to him, and then invited him into your car and driven him around? Would you have yelled at me if I'd done it.
Tangential factors include a) he's black, and b) it was raining. Which don't add directly to the risk factors, but I think make it less likely that the good samaritanness would happen.
I mean, I've gotten into strangers' cars a time or two, but I knew I was treading dangerously.

I have stopped and lent strange men my cell phone when I saw them broken down on the freeway. For whatever it's worth, they were black and it wasn't raining.
I wouldn't have offered them (or any other stranger) rides, though.
