What was the last time you were lucky? Could be a winning lottery ticket, nice coincidence, be at the right time at the right place, etc. (discuss.tchncs.de)

Car started doing weird things at a red light last week. I got the turn arrow as power steering was failing, but managed to get out of the main road and into a service road before the remaining battery completely expired. My alternator had died. I was glad not to have to manually push the car out of the road. It was raining.

Called a friend to see if they could come help us get it the rest of the way into a parking lot. Their parents had the kids and they were pondering what to do for their date night. They came to our rescue. Heart them the most.

We turned it into a double date and treated them to dinner. They called AAA for us and gave us a tow to the repair shop.
