Stillwater,Oklahoma help

[MiNi Beast]

Got stranded and in need of some help anyone local to possibly help? 

[Pete M]

that's a long way from home, man.    whatcha need?  a tow?  a ride?  a hand with wrenching? 

[MiNi Beast]

Right now a place to sleep perhaps. And then perhaps a ride. My boss left me at hotel. This is why i don't like working without my truck and tools. 

[ftpiercecracker1]

Uber? Taxi? What is your destination? 

[MiNi Beast]

Mi bound. But has of this moment walking to perry. If i can get to 80 and 31 intersection my old man could pick me up in his big rig. 

 

[Pete M]

he left you? 

[MiNi Beast]

Yes at the hotel. Finished breakfest with co worker, he went to truck and i went to get my bag and check out of room. 5 mins later walked out to empty parking lot. I was 10 mins late is why he said he left. Mind you we were working for last week not hard as he said, cause no need to rush as only had few hrs to finish it. However, I feel it was retaliation for the day prior being i had checked him and his demeaning and belittling of my co worker. He is a bully and i called him on it. Many people can't handle being stood up to. I think i handle it correctly as there was no physical altercation, as my co worker was tempted to being why i stepped in and voiced my opinion to rectify the situation. So this is an example of what can happen when you stand up for people, and i good with that. Co worker home now and will not be returning to work with him as well. 

 

I have made it to Perry and await departure on greyhound tomorrow. It has been a long hike and cold night. But i have made it and stayed warm. Have met some very nice people as well as a couple officers who were as nice as can be. Last gentleman  officer gave me a ride the last 6 miles to Perry and bought me a meal to boot. I do indeed appreciate the folks of the south they truly understand hospitality.

Damn, some people are real a$$holes.

[Jeep Driver]

Good to see you are going to get home. 

 

I had no way of offering help here last night. 

 

 

Some people are evil, as you know. 

[MiNi Beast]

Thanks fellas. Yeah other people's kids, i tell you! Smh! 

 

Been quite the adventure and more experiences for the memories book. 

[buxmj]

Sad you had to go through what you did after standing up to a bully. Kudos to you, karma will get him eventually, sounds like a miserable human being, be safe out there!

Cold thing to do to you Mini beast. You’re right, you won’t forget the journey. Be well 

[MiNi Beast]

So i was bored and thought i would pick up so trash cause it looked like $#!& and was in my view. SO i seen a problem and went about solving it. Also I figured it be a good way to perhaps give back as i have been given too. While doing so i thought lord a quarter pounder sounds good. Meanwhile i found a yoyo,favorite toy aside my bouncy ball, and found a cross. To me i thought well he must have been listening and was telling me i was doing as he intended me to. So after 45 mins i was hungry and used my last dollar to get a cheeseburger. Was no quarter pounder but was enjoyed just the same. So i lay my head down and proceed to take a nap and soak up the sun. Those that no me know this is typical of me, in all aspects. So as i lay there i hear someone set something next to me. I look and a young lady and her husband had wished me a merry Christmas and left me a Double quarter pounder meal with water. Now if there isnt proof in this i shall never know. Very much thankful and blessed.

You reap what you sow.

 

Your boss will eventually find out.

[MiNi Beast]

Made it home fellas. Felt nice to have a bubble bath again. 

[Zambeezy]

Dang man, I'm sorry to hear about your terrible boss. That's insane.

 

I grew up in NE OK, moved away a few years ago but in general, Oklahomies were good people.

 

Glad you made it my dude

[shelbyluvv]

He would have an @$$ whopping waiting on him. Glad you are safe and home.

[MiNi Beast]

So the event inspired me in a way to keep being me and just let things be. I just wanna make friends. We all here striving to live the dream.  Stay true and always ask "What I can do for you?" #MaynardHood

Word up. 

[BeatCJ]

Thanks for bumping that, I missed it. Good read, and good for you.

 

So I am curious, did anything ever happen to your boss? In my mind, he should have been punished somehow. Abandoning someone hundreds of miles from home should have consequences.

i have since found where he lives even with his ill attempts to ensure i couldn't. can't hide from me when i have irs friends.  however i have not did anything other then to pray for his lost soul. best i can do is not let that situation have a negative impact on my life.

Several years ago, shortly after my wife died and I underwent heart surgery, I was in the food court at the local mall on some holiday or other. I think it might have been Veterans Day, and I was wearing my Vietnam Veteran hat. I was feeling sorry for myself, and I guess it must have showed because after a few minutes a little girl started whispering to her parents. Then she got up and came over to me, very shyly, and said, "Don't be sad. Thank you for you service."

 

I just about lost it.

 

Earlier this year, when the COVID-19 pandemic was just hitting its stride and we were sure going to the supermarket would result in instant death, I found in my mailbox a pretty, hand-made card from a little girl who lives a quarter mile up the road from me. We've never met, and I don't know her parents. In fact, I don't even know their last name. I guess she decided the world was going through enough, and she decided to reach out to the neighbors to say hello. I wroter back, and I've sent her a couple of cards since.

 

There are some good people left in this world. Unfortunately, it seems they may be the exception rather than the rule.

Great Choice. Probably the best for you, for sure. Still, someday one hopes Karma meets up with the a$$hat.

I disagree. I think people are a true Bell Curve, as many good as bad. It just seems the bad sticks to our brains better than the good.

 thats awesome. thanks for sharing this. goes to show if we pay attention to those around us and listen closely, anybody can make a positive impact on someone, as did that sweet girl.
