This is definitely something I can get behind!

I remember being really upset years ago when I locked my keys in my car while at a shopping, and there was a police car right next to me and I asked him for help and he said he couldn’t help. While I was irritated at the time, the truth is I was fully capable of getting help from just about anywhere as well as walking to a friend or family member’s house if needed. I would much rather they use their time for a situation like this versus helping someone who was young and capable like I was at the time!
