I dropped my bunch of keys in a sewer drain at the side of the road. I had just parked and was getting out of the car when my keys fell onto the ground and slid down the drain!
this was after my 13.5 hour shift. I was knackered and just stopped to collect a parcel as it was the last hours.
some people saw me and came to rescue. Someone had a torch with magnet so he offered to give it to me if I pay him 10£.
but later said he can put it in a plastic bag and cellotape it so that way it won’t get damaged.
Another passer saw and said he has a magnet but it’s in at home and for me to wait 10 minutes as he will go home and get it.
while waiting I still tried to look for it but it didn’t work. And he actually came with the magnets!
he helped me to rescue the keys. I offered to pay him but he declined.
i feel so so emotional that people stopped and tried to help. And also this particular person actually went out of his way, went home and came back with the magnet. Even brought water to wash the keys and my hands.
i don’t know this person, don’t even know his name. But I’m so thankful for his help! I feel so bad that he had to do all this :(
should I have just forced to give money/ or buy something from the shop?
i did offer to buy something or give money but he refused and said he is just happy that he was able to help- but I’m feeling so bad.
