Sam wrote: As to the rudeness of the comments... Welcome to the internet.
Also, why are people surprised at the act of kindness? Most people I know would have done the same thing....
And this may sound harsh, please understand I'm not saying it to be mean, but what's with all the sobbing? I mean, it's just a car. And so you might have gotten stranded somewhere. I can understand maybe sighing in resignation, or an "Oh for pete's sake!", but if you are crying over something as minor as being somewhere you don't want to be with a broken down car, there are other things seriously wrong in your life. Like I said, I'm not trying to be mean. Blunt yes, mean, no.

Cristie wrote: Wow, first great story, thank you for sharing. Second, I'm aghast at the rudeness shown by some of the comments to this story. The author stated she didn't know much about cars. She made an error when typing out the story. The men that helped her obviously weren't trying to scam her or they would have taken the 'more' that she offered. So, the negative comments by Justin were not warranted. He could have simply asked if she meant alternator instead of transmission because that would make more sense. And the person that posted under A Big Fat Slob is just being an instigator. SaraJ22 put forth a sweet story for us to read and enjoy, not pick and poke at and when it was rudely torn apart she had every right to state she didn't appreciate it. A Big Fat Slob needs to keep his Big Fat Nose out of it.

Slob wrote: Justin wasn't being negative . . . what you described was impossible and he made that plain. He based his comment on what YOU said and was only trying to set you straight. If it was as YOU said, these two were scamming you, not helping. Justin was right to try to help you by pointing that out. As it turns out you were the one who was wrong. Your criticism of Justin was uncalled for -- did you want him to apologize for your mistake?
Sheesh.
Sheesh.
