Wonder if they didn,t have a Mama

[Buff]

I was changing terminals in Atlanta on my way back from Africa today.
I got off the train and there was a lady standing in amounst the crowd with tears streaming down her face.
Turns out she was from south american and could not read or speak English.
The best I could gather she had been there for a long time and could not get anyone to stop and help her.
This is the third time in the last couple of years I have found someone like this. I made her understand to follow me and I carried her to her gate and talked to the gate folks so they would know she would not understand them when they called for boarding.
That hundreds if not thousands of people had walked right by her just blows my mind. Didn't their mama,s theach them any manners?

[Sparkles]

Guess not. I'll go out of my way to help a girl/woman in distress anyday. Guess we were just raised different.

Well done Buff!

You would have made one hell of a Coast Guardsman!

[Charles]

Well played

Texans think different! We know momma would whoop us if we didn't help!

so many people have more important things to do than be a human person...GOOD JOB SIR!

[Speedgoat]

Good for you. I stopped on the HWY the other day where a Hispanic woman with two kids was victim to a blowout. She had been there for 45 minutes and nobody stopped to help her. She had $7 in cash on her. I took the entire family down the road along with the tire and got it fixed with a new one ($75). I then took them back and put it on and sent them on their way. Sad when folks don't want to get involved in the business of helping others.

Good for y'all. We are supposed to help one another.

Hat's off to you Buff. A true gentleman.

No good deed goes un-rewarded. Maybe the big guy upstairs will send a big buck your way.

Another TBH thread win! Warms my heart and reminds me to hold myself to a higher standard. The story of the Good Samaritan comes to mind.

[JBH1979]

Its amazing how many people will just pass a person in need of help. Good job and good karma!

This my have something to do with Atlanta,same thing happened to me there last summer, very elderly Russian lady, best guess. even the gate worker was rude to her, she couldn't read her ticket, turned out she was only a few gates down past mine. I escorted her there and told the gate keeper to help her on the plane. I don't know what the Russian word for thank you is but I should, she said it about 50 times! Atlanta Airport as much fun as open wound!
