      I checked your post history to see if you’re a troll, but no. You just seem to not understand human interaction.

      The general assumption is that big cities are full of uncaring strangers. This anecdote, which is true because I’ve literally done it before, shows that this is not the case. The city is full of neighbors you don’t know.

      This is not true if every city or every person or every situation. But it’s an important story to hear because it helps adjust the societal view of cities towards a more accurate picture.

        I dunno, I had the same “so?” reaction becuse to me the post describes a pretty common scenario. And I always lived in big cities.

        To me, it came across that OP thought there was something wrong with the guy who helped out and didn’t speak to the person they helped.
