I helped someone with an urgent EMERGENCY today.

So, I was on my way home from a rather tough day at work and I stopped at a CVS store like always to get a drink. I purchased my drink and got into my truck. Then I reversed out of my parking spot, opened my drink for a nice refreshing sip and began to pull off. As I started to head out of the parking lot I hear a woman's voice:

"STOP!! WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!!" in an extremely desperate manner.

It startled me enough to spill some of my drink on my lap. In my mirror I see a large woman running (to the best of her ability) after my truck. Thinking that maybe she had lost her baby, or had just been robbed...I stopped to see if I could help her.

She gets to my passenger window and says:

"Do you know where a Taco Bell is???"

I was in so much shock from what the question turned out to be, I simply said:

"uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......I don't.......ummmm"

and just drove away, even though I knew EXACTLY where a Taco Bell was....I was just too confounded by the question to tell her at the time. She looked pretty disappointed by my response.

So, I guess I didn't really help anyone....but she helped me. I could not stop laughing the rest of the drive home. Good times.

I really hope she found that Taco Bell though.

it's really important, imo, to be able to differentiate between an urgent emergency and a non-urgent emergency.

Yes. First, I sent him to east Brooklyn, which would tire him out, so he can't run when the gangs urban youths come out to "play".

East Brooklyn?!!? were you trying to get the guy killed?

That reminds me of a time where a fat guy ran after me in New York City to figure out where he could find a McDonald's. Knowing that there are like, 80 McDonald's on Manhattan, where we were, I sent him to one all the way in east Brooklyn.
