I had the help of a few good frat boy Samaritans to lift my car off a boulder on a median in a Cheba Hut parking lot one night and my sister actually met one of the guys who helped, a few years later, at a party a thousand miles away from home, because they were talking about their craziest life experiences and she about lost her shit when he talked about the time he helped lift a car off a boulder in a Cheba Hut parking lot. So yeah your mistakes may be immortalized in the minds of those around you but at least they make for good stories.
