Yesterday I pulled into a little lane and parked. I was getting out of the car and about to get 10wk old DS out to go and do a daily errand.
A man came walking up to the three way junction, looked lost and asked me which way to *village". There was really no direct route but i had a local map in the car and looked and advised him.
He said 'thanks love, its just I've just been let out of the police station. I was in overnight. Got picked up for drink and disorderley. Got no phone or anything and the coppers said to walk this way'
And off he walked. Nice and polite.
I was telling my sister that i felt bad for not giving him a lift as i was driving to a village much closer to where he wanted to go. He had a 15 mile walk and i could have dropped him 4-5 miles away. She asked why hadnt i offered then, if i wanted to. (and i did feel i wanted to)
My reasons - Mainly i had DS in the car. And polite as he was hed just spent a night in the cells for D & D. And he was wearing broken fake crocs. Dsis thinks i was being judgemenral as i mentioned he looked a bit 'rough' for want of a better expression. Hand and neck tattoos and bad teeth. I fedl judgy just typing that. She tinks iwbu by not offerinh him a lift as it was a long walk, about to rain and he had crap footwear.
Was i?
