🔗 Share this article Feeling So Sick I Couldn’t Walk Until a Fellow Passenger Virtually Carried Me to a Bathroom. Back when I was nineteenth year, my daily commute meant taking an packed public transport. It was perpetually crowded and invariably became completely full once I got on. One particular morning, I began feeling quite nauseous when the coach lurched around each corner. I kept telling myself to endure another few kilometres before the bus reached my stop, at which point I could sprint quickly to the closest washroom to be sick. As we neared the street towards the stop when it dawned on me I wasn’t going to make it. Suddenly, it was like a veil came over me. My vision turned white and really quiet; like someone had muted everything. I thought, “I will lose consciousness”. Luckily I was close to the driver of the bus, allowing me to take a few steps forward and requested that the driver to stop, explaining to him I was going to get ill. He promptly opened the bus doors and I weakly exited out onto the street. I was determined to not get sick before six lanes of traffic, so I picked myself up and began attempting to stumble toward the green space opposite the street, thinking I could it would allow me to secretly conceal myself near some foliage to throw up. But then I apparently fainted. I could feel my limbs, but walking was impossible or see clearly, leading me to start inching my way to the park. “Are you okay, dear?” At that moment, I got scooped up. I felt someone holding me and a man’s voice asked, “You right, love?” I explained to this kind passerby that I required to be sick. Thus, he practically carried me down into a nearby building and placed me into the female bathroom. He wanted to know if I needed him to remain with me but I said no. Not long after, I felt better enough to sit on the toilet and from the other side of the door came him inquire, “Do you need anything, love? Can I get you something?” I wasn’t able to stand up at that moment but I did succeed to express my gratitude and shortly thereafter recovered the use of my legs. I made my way home and spent several days healing from which was a severe stomach virus. I did not see the stranger’s face – merely his legs along with a sizable metal toolbox he held – but he helped me, at a moment I was at my most vulnerable. Often this world has a way of making you guarded, hostile, and combative. His act was the type of kindness that reverses that emotional callousness. He demonstrated that people’s natural inclination is towards kindness, a trait I cherish about my fellow humans.
