🔗 Share this article Feeling So Sick Walking Was Impossible When a Man Essentially Lifted Me to a Restroom. During my 19 years old, my daily commute involved an crowded coach. It was perpetually jammed and was consistently without any seats by the time I stepped aboard. One particular morning, I started experiencing quite nauseous while the vehicle lurched around every turn. I repeatedly told myself to hold on another few kilometres so the bus could arrived at where I needed to get off, at which point I could make a mad dash to the closest washroom to vomit. The bus was approaching the road leading to the destination as I realised I wasn’t going to last. All of a sudden, it was like a veil came over me. Everything just went hazy and muffled; like someone had muted everything. I said to myself, “I am about to pass out”. Luckily I was close to the driver on the bus, so I took several steps toward the driver and told the operator to stop, telling him I was going to be sick. The driver opened the entrance and I hurriedly stepped onto the sidewalk. I was resolved not to vomit in front of multiple lanes of cars, so I picked myself up and began attempting to make my way to the park on the other side, where I believed I could at least secretly conceal myself near some foliage to be sick. Yet I must have fainted. I sensed my limbs, but I couldn’t walk and my vision was blurry, leading me to start inching my way to the park. “Everything alright, love?” At that moment, I was lifted up. I felt a strong arm supporting me and a man’s voice asked, “You right, love?” I explained to this unknown man that I required to get to a bathroom. Thus, he practically carried me over to a nearby building and put me into the female bathroom. He inquired if I needed him to remain with me but I refused. After a short while, I had recovered enough to sit down when from beyond the door I heard him ask, “Are you feeling better, dear? Do you need anything?” I could not to get up at that moment but I did succeed to thank him and after a few more minutes was able to move my legs. I made my way home and spent the next few days recovering from what was later diagnosed as a nasty tummy bug. I did not see that man’s face – merely his legs and a large container for tools he held – but he helped me, at a moment I was in my weakest state. Frequently, society tends to make people guarded, hostile, and combative. His was the sort of gesture that melts away that emotional callousness. He was proof that humanity’s innate tendency is towards kindness, a trait I cherish about my fellow humans.
