What is your most memorable - personal "No good deed goes unpunished" story?

Finding a empty beer bottle under my tire I picked it up an threw it in my back seat.. While driving through the mall a cop stopped me and wrote me a ticket for violating the open container law. It was during the Christmas shopping season. Eventually the charges were dismissed, but what a hassle and expense just for picking up after someone else.

I was walking to the store. Approaching me in the opposite direction was a young woman (college age). She tripped and fell about 10 feet in front of me. I ran up to her, offered her a hand up and asked, "Are you ok, hon?". It was quite an innocent remark and nothing sexist meant by it.

Her reaction was to pull away from me and she practically screamed at me, "I'm not your honey! Don't you call me honey! Who the hell do you think you are? You don't even know me, you f*cking jerk!!!"

I understand that she may have been embarrassed that she fell and didn't really mean what she said but, I briefly felt as though I had actually done something wrong.

Maybe I should have told her to get her lazyass up off the sidewalk instead of offering help. She might have responded a little better.

Well mine would have to be the day I asked my kids to move out of the way for a lady who had a walker. She proceeded to tell me she didn't need some stupid mother to tell her kids that, that she could get around without my help. I simply responded to her by telling her to have a nice day all alone.

Time to Orca Drift!

I did it with her parents ..in the next room
