Things are Falling Out of Your Back End!
At Target (a mass merchandiser) yesterday, I was loading the car with my purchases just as a family of tourists drove off with the hatch of their SUV open.
The family was unaware that their valuable possessions, which included expensive camping gear and new purchases were falling out the back like boulders down a cliff. Determined to get on their way, they picked up speed ignoring honks and shouts of fellow shoppers, while the items falling out increased in number.
Since they had parked across from me, I was the first one to notice and ran over to scoop up the items while others tried to flag them down.
Eventually, a very nice man running full speed, managed to stop them a city block away.
It was a great scene with so many swooping in to help - a pleasant reminder that most people are good, decent, and cooperative without giving it a second thought.
We are not all saintly though. I imagine that the poor husband is still hearing about it.
