I tried going to sleep early last night, around 9pm so I could get up around 6am and be at work by 8am.
I ended up waking up at 1am and couldn't fall back asleep so I texted my gf to see if she was still up. She was so I asked if she felt like being a little spontaneous and would like to go on a bike ride in her new area (moutainy nice area). She said yes.
To do this I had to go to the local walmart to pick up for tire patches, a bike pump and a set of bike lights and batteries. The walmart closest to me didn't have any lights so I had to drive ~20 minutes to the next closest walmart which did have what I was looking for. I then had to drive back home to set up my trunk bike rack and put on my bike. I then headed off for a 30 minute journey to my girlfriends house.
I got off on her exit and there was an older woman walking down the street at 2:30am... I decided to turn around and ask if she was ok. She said she was fine but "they're out of gas"*she points*
Now that I KNEW about someone else being in "trouble" I didn't feel it would be right to ignore them so I drove to the truck on the side of the road and two guys get out. I ask if they were alright and they said no. One guy was upset because his girlfriend (the lady I talked to) stormed off and said she would just WALK to the casino from there. The one guy asked for a ride to the nearest gas station and had an empty jug.... I was already doing a somewhat dangerous thing pulling over to help someone on an unlit, empty road at 2:30 in the morning alone so I was definitely going to avoid that. I told them my girlfriend lived close by and I'd be back with a can of gas. The guy asked if he could just siphon some fuel from my car because he was scared I would just say "screw it." I said sure but apparently there's some kind of screen blocking it.
I left and came back as promised with a gascan with ~2gallons in it. They didn't have any money and insisted on giving me something so they gave me a 10" sub in a box from their truck. I told them like 4 times "NO." but they really wouldn't listen.
The guy mentioned I was saving his ass and possibly his freedom so that kind of creeped me out... Was he wanted for something? I did smell alcohol on one of them (or both) so maybe that's what he meant.
Anyways, long story short I ended up getting home around 6am, the time I was supposed to get up so I went to work tired which made a lousy 4 hour shift feel like 10.
