I was one my way to work...my car broke down at a spot that cars would be blinded as to my location..so literally cars would come racing around the corner..see my car, realize that I wasn't moving, and slam on the brakes at the last min to avoid hitting me..
I tried to get out of the car which was tough, because there was fast traffic whizzing by on either both sides of me..I was pretty certain one or two things was going to happen...someone would back end me at a fairly high rate of speed, or I was going to get run over trying to get across the road..
After a while, I observed a car pulling up behind me, it slowed down to stop. It didn't look like a cop either...he got out his car, opened his trunk, and pulled out some flares and set them down around the cars. He walked over to my window, asked if I was ok...of course, I wasn't and had burst into tears at this point, and asked me if I knew what was wrong with the car,
I asked for some ID from him, because he was undercover, and for all I know - he could be a wanna be fake cop. He obliged, and I could see that he has county emblems stuff too, so that easied my mind a bit.
...then with a smirk asked me if I had gas in the car, because those sorts of cars don't break down often. It was an expensive, German sports car, and actually that morning, because I was running late, I forget to swing by the gas station. He then blocked off one of the other lanes, and helped me steer the car in neutral off the road, onto the shoulder. Then he told me to jump in my car, and he'd drive me to the nearest gas station, and get some gas, and drive me back to the car, we talked about cars in general, I kept apologizing that I was making him late for my general forgetfulness. I mean, he could have just left me there on the shoulder to call AAA or something, so to me he went out of his way to help a damsel in distress, when he didn't have to..so yeah...cops, generally I don't care for them..but there are good and bad in every profession
