Unfortunately, that's too true in our society today. My wife was always with me and I looked young enough to not present a threat. But now that I am closing in on 40, it probably wouldn't be a smart thing to do.

Also, to reference the point Sir Goluom made...I would NEVER advocate ignoring common sense. I live in a rural area at least 100 miles from the nearest "large town". It's much safer to stop and help motorists around here. I believe some states (like FL) actually have laws AGAINST stopping on the side of major interstates (I75, etc) to help motorists or pick up hitchhikers. They have call-boxes located about every 2-3 miles. They prefer passing motorist just call for help.

But, enough of that. I would like to keep this thread "ON TOPIC" if possible. So how about listing more suggestions of how you could brighten somebody else's day unexpectedly.

My list in the first post was just a very generic sample.
