Yesterday I had determined to beat the crowds and go early to our favourite pet shop Of course my plan really didn't work out so well, the carpark was full and people were constantly driving in and out. I don't know how this car park was so badly designed but it is truly awful. I rushed into the pet shop and ordered the necessities to keep Diesel Dog happy as some items were rather heavy I needed to carry them out in a trolley. I carefully loaded my shopping into the boot of my car and it was then I realized that the front of the trolley had slipped underneath the car and I couldn't move it. There are two small lanes for cars to drive along and as I pondered on my situation a driver stopped his SVU right next to my car, fortunately nobody was behind him at that moment. He stepped out of his car with the motor running and his car door open, saw my problem and calmly stepped in and helped me move the trolley out from under my car. When he had done he wished me Happy New Year and calmly went back to his car and drove away. That man made my day, I will write to our local paper and thank him.

That is very kind of him. He probably sees it as a minor disturbance to his routine, but it sure helps you get out of embarrassing moment in the carpark.

@jaboUK It probably wasn't the best place to stop but he didn't seem to care.

@GreatMartin Agreed. And if a few are rather terse I just think they must be having a bad day
