So I thought I was done with tires for a bit, only to find myself in the middle of another "situation" this afternoon. Fortunately it was an indirect situation, rather than personally impacting as before.
On the way to lunch I was behind a vehicle with a VERY minimally inflated tire. Now, because of my trouble with tires over the last year or so, I find I'm generally quite paranoid about the air level in my tires. I'm always checking them and sometimes I find myself thinking they are low when really they're likely not. But in this case, as I was behind this minivan, there was no question. That tire was undeniably low, leaving me in a moral dilemma. Should I mind my business or try to somehow let this person know there was a problem. Well, this is from the guy who wouldn't spend ten dollars he found in his own yard, so naturally I followed the van until it pulled into a parking lot, and then I rolled down my window and let the lady who got out know about her tire situation. She was surprised to see how low the tire was and thanked me for letting her know.
You'd think I'd feel good about doing a good deed for the day. But as I drove away I felt guilty because I didn't offer to help.
