My battery died last month and a really nice man in the parking lot helped me out with his cables. It was super kind of him but honestly I felt awkward standing there hoping someone would notice me. I kept pretending to look at my phone like I was busy when really I was just waiting for someone to walk by. Now I’m thinking about what happens if it dies again when there’s nobody around to help, like at night or in a quiet area. I read about car jumpstart pros somewhere and it seems like they come right to you which would take away all that awkward waiting and guessing. But I’m not sure if it’s weird to pay for something a stranger might do for free, you know? My sister says just buy cables and ask someone but I’m shy and I don’t like bothering people. Also what if the person I ask doesn’t know how to jump a car either? Then we’re both standing there clueless. How do you decide when it’s worth calling someone versus just hoping for the best? I’d love to hear what other people do in this situation. I’m not looking for a lecture about learning to do it myself, I just want to know what’s normal and what’s not. Thanks.
