Last night my thriftyness literally saved a diabetic’s life
Yeah, I really did probably save a guys life last night.
Last night I worked kind of late when at the last minute I decided I would go hide my girlfriend’s early Valentines day present in her desk at work (we work at the same company) so that I wouldnt have to get up TOO early to sneak in and do it before people came in to work. Well, I went ahead and did and drove back to my house. By this time its pretty late so I am tired and want to go to bed. I pulled up into my driveway but was suddenly struck by the thought that the gas station by my house always has good deals on the extra large redbull, which I am addicted to. I normally just go to the gas station by work but I figured hey, Im up and two blocks away, I may as well just go do it now since its late and I don’t want to make a stop in the morning and I can save some money. So I drive over to the gas station and the place is dead, no one around. Well, I walk in and walk over and grab a redbull and a monster and head for the counter. I put my drinks down on the counter and I notice immediately there is something wrong with the attendant, he is bent over the register. I asked him if he was ok and he goes “I…dont….”
And then he starts having muscle spasms and says “Im diabetic, call 911.” I call 911, sit him down, and the ambulance is there within literally 30 seconds. They come in and give him a shot of something. In the meantime I put back the energy drinks and head for the exit and the guy tells me on the way out “thank you so much brother.”
Wow.
