Act of Love #1 – Helping someone push their car to the side in LA traffic

Posted April 21st, 2010 in Act of Love by admin

LA Traffic

First of all, want to apologize for being late on this post.  This is my Act of Love #1

So, Barack Obama came to USC today and blocked off all the streets going to my apartment. As a result – I had to park far away. Everyone was angry, speeding, trying to maneuver the LA traffic, when suddenly, a Mercedes Benz broke down right in front of me. I was about to go cut to the right to maneuver myself past the Mercedes when a car pulled to the left of me, so I couldn’t cut into the other lane.  Coincidentally, a parking space was open to the right of me.  So, I decided to park my car right there and help this man. He was going to see the president, and all of a sudden, his car broke down. Perfect opportunity to do my act of love.  I got out of my car and pushed his car to an illegal parking spot. He said thanks. Afterwards I headed back to my car to pick up my stuff, but I felt like I should still help this man. I approached him again asking if he still needed help – because I really hand nothing else to do. And all of a sudden, the car in front of us pulls out and a parking space opens up for us to park in!! I then helped him push his car to the spot. His name was Tod.   And despite my initiall frustration with LA traffic and LAPD for blocking off all my streets – I walked back feeling good that I got to love Tod that day.
