Stupid People

I was walking home from the MUNI today, just out of school, and there's a guy that needs help pushing his car to the next corner because he's out of gas. He politely asks for assistance, so I gladly give it. If we would have been anywhere else, I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but the fact that we were on a 45 degree incline DOWNHILL I wondered, "why doesn't he just put the car in neutral and let it roll down?"
So naturally I ask him this, and he says, "well, I can't, the shifter won't move unless I turn on the car... should I turn it on?"
Before I have a chance to answer, HE TURNS ON the car and puts it in neutral and then HE TURNS IT OFF... the car that was OUT OF GAS!

So then he's very slowly stepping off the brakes, and he's like, "it's hard to control." Yeah, no shit, you have no power steering while the car is off!!

He then proceeds to roll downhill and turn left onto a one lane bike lane in between the sidewalk and an island, so there's only room for one car, he then looses momentum, stops, and blocks the lane.... I shook my head and kept walking home.
