Yesterday I ordered for comfort on bolt and to my greatest shock one old Honda City with questionable engine and a manual gear came to pick me. None of the glass windows could even wind down. The only thing that surprised me at that moment was that the AC actually worked even if it made some weird funny sounds like a ghost was in it. 😂
I jokingly asked him if this is what comfort gets me what will bolt basic be like? He went quiet... I could see was desperately trying to hold back the tears and said “hmm sir you won't understand but I'm sorry about the condition of my car, please bear with me”.
That response stayed with me. When he dropped me I asked for his account number, I sent him 500K and told him to please fix his car. He broke down in tears like mad, telling me I don't know what I have done for him. His wife is heavily pregnant and his car has been giving him one issue or the other but just managing it to raise enough to complete the money for C.S. Even those close to him haven't been be able to come through but a complete stranger like me does this. He thank me repeatedly and prayed for me for minutes.
You never really know what someone is going through behind a smile or behind the things you casually complain about. For me it was just an uncomfortable ride but for him that old Honda was probably his livelihood, his only means of feeding his family. I received a text from him thanking me again later that night yesterday. Be humble and grateful.
