Good Deed for the Day

I don’t know if any of you remember me post back around the new year about each of us trying to make the world a better place. I posted about sharing when we do something nice for someone for no reason. I said if we shared it maybe others would follow our lead and do something nice for someone else. Well, I have a little story to tell. I stopped on my way home to get gas in the car and as I am pumping the gas I look over and see this younger female putting air in her tire. The whole time I am getting the gas she has the hose to one tire and I’m thinking to myself, how much air is she putting into the tire. I get done filling my car and I drive slowly over, and I ask out the window if she is alright or needs help and she says, “I don’t think it is filling the machine is still running”. I told her it doesn’t shut off automatically. She looked confused, so I said let me help you and then I could see she was a little worried I said if you want to go ahead and lock yourself in the car and I will take care of it. So, she got in the car, and I checked the tire she had it filled up to 48 psi when it should only be at 32-35 psi. I let the air out and check and topped up the other 3 tires. I let her know what they should be at and that she way over filled the one but that I let the air out and she should be good now. She thanked me and off I went. Made me think that while in drivers’ education classes they should teach these kids some basic maintenance on a car. How to put air in a tire, how to check the oil, how to change a tire, things like that I think everyone should know a little about. But at least she was back on the road with the correct tire pressure on the car.
