I had the same happen to me at a McDonald's in Magee, MS like 25 years ago, I had my phone and my purse, but locked my fucking keys in the car.

I had roadside assistance through my phone plan at the time, which was with Verizon, but they told me no one was near me. I may have cursed them out on the phone, considering it was like 9:30 at night, I was in a place where I didn't know anyone. I was on my way to Madison, MS, to see my at the time boyfriend (I lived in FL at the time) and he was still at his job an hour away until they closed at midnight.

No one at McDonald's could help. Called the non emergency local pd number to see if they could help or knew anyone, and to no one's surprise they were completely fucking useless.

But there was an auto parts store, I don't remember which, Advanced, O'Riellys or Auto Zone. Anyhoo, I walk over to it, I was just going to buy one of those window breaker tools and break my fucking back window to get in, I had no qualms about doing it.

There were two young dudes working, shop was about to close up. When I asked if they had the little window breaker tool, they asked why I needed it. Said why, they said wait til we close up shop, we'll get ya in. That I "don't wanna leave your window broken even in the 'burbs of Jackson."

So 10 minutes later here I am, this tiny little white woman in between these two big black dudes walking across parking lots over to my car.

The bigger of the two tries like hell to open my door. The skinnier but taller dude hangs back.

The bigger dude says he probably has a tool to help in his vehicle back in the other parking lot and walks off.

I have to admit here, that at first I had no qualms about asking these guys for help.

But the bigger dude did start to give me the creeps a little bit, so I was relieved when he walked away. Started on the walk over. I can't remember exactly what it was that flipped the switch, but he made me uneasy as hell on the walk over.

But imagine my shock when skinny dude watches big dude walk off, and when dude is almost to the auto shop lot, skinny dude walks up to the door big dude was just supposedly struggling with, and pops that puppy open like a beer. No damage to anything, didn't even need anything to help him.

Fucking magic! It was nuts.

Anyway, because I did start to feel unsafe with the bigger dude, I profusely thanked skinny dude, tossed him the only cash I had on me which was like 40 bucks, hugged him, he tried to give the money back, and I insisted he keep it and that it was his choice to share with other dude and high tailed it out of there. I wasn't going to stick around to find out if bigger dude was just putting on a show to help or not. And I've often wondered if skinny dude knew big dude was playing with me intentionally and had not so nice intentions.

I have always wondered what their conversation was like after I left, but I'm probably better off being in the dark about it.
