Default Re: Good Samaritan Put to the test

I like the people that are saying "I'd do it for free" think that the $2 aspect of this what is important.

it's funny, because it is important. If I do it, it's clearly because I'm generous as all hell. offering me $2 takes away my generosity in the transaction. I'd probably be willing to help an old lady out, but not one that had to go to ridiculous lengths to make it look like I was not doing her a favor.

I'd probably have done it if I thought she was a sweet lady, and she asked nicely. If she offered me $2, she'd get a rejection, although it would probably be a kind one.
