Philanthropic security van driver

  • On my way to work today, stopped at some traffic lights behind a white van.

    The guy leans out of his window and starts talking to me.

    I'm expecting the worst.

    'Do you need some batteries for your light?'

    I'm using an exposure spark, freshly charged, on pulse mode. It's pretty bright, I use it day and night. I thought he was being sarcastic, having a go about my light getting in his face in the mirror.

    'Sorry is it flashing in your face?' I said.

    'No - We use those lights for security - I know the batteries. Here I've got loads.'

    And the guy literally starts filling my hands with Duracell batteries of the right size for the spark.

    I went to pass him on Shaftsbury avenue and he tried to give me even more 'relay race' style through the window as I passed.

    Good feels. Thanks man.

  • Have you checked them out yet.........

  • This is my favourite story this year so far.

  • Warm fuzzy feeling

  • Careful - they may have smallpox on them.

  • Faith in humanity restored :)

  • They moment you try to put them in your light they'll explode and shower you with smartwater so you can be framed for some recent crime.

  • Benedict - you are clearly devastatingly handsome.
    Are you actually Dirk **Benedict, **in which case he couldn't resist doing you the favour?

  • Or even Benedict Cumbernauld, swoonsome star of stage and screen, and inventor of the formal derss waist sash?

  • Pics or it didn't happen

  • WTF? That van driver is clearly not human. He must be an alien who has taken on human form in order to conduct a study on human's reactions to situations that are completely new to them.

    So you can be inhumane if you're acting like a c**t, and if you're over-nice also? ;)

  • I am handsome as fuck.
    But I don't think that was why.
    I think he was just a boss man with love for high performance leds.
    I mean, his generosity was commendable, agreed.
    But combine that with the fact that he was able to correctly identify the cell type needed just from seeing the light strength and pattern of an led IN A MF WING MIRROR earns him a place in the history books.

  • All credit to the van driver. It could be he's a 'flashaholic"..., yes really, this what they call themselves. A community of people dedicated to all things torchy. http://www.candlepowerforums.com

  • He's been stalking you for months.

    You should change all of your locks immediately!

  • Not yet, but I've been stalking this security guard that does.
