Rant #2542

I dont understand how the world has come to this to the point where I feel like I have to pay for human kindness.....I moved cross country about 8 months ago its been a shitshow the whole time basically cars breaking down ( being stranded because of that ) , my sil running away with my 2 nephews, money issues etc. My fuel pump went out 3 weeks ago I got stranded in a fast food parking lot for 3 days and 2 nights thankfully a family friend was able to take me home eventually anyway we got in contact with a "mechanic" he said he could help us get car home and help us fix it and if we needed a ride into town for anything . I thought super awesome finally caught a break well ended up had to do some shopping so asked him if he could take us he said yes of course we would pay for gas well about 10 min later he texts back saying he charges 20 dollars an hour for his time I'm desperate so say fine thinking only an hour or 2.
