🔗 Share this article Feeling So Sick Walking Was Impossible Until a Fellow Passenger Essentially Lifted Me to the Toilets. At the age of 19 years old, my daily commute meant taking an crowded coach. The vehicle was always full and invariably became standing room only once I got on. On one specific day, I was feeling incredibly sick as the bus swayed around each corner. I kept telling myself to endure for a few more stops so the bus could reached my destination, and then I could rush hurriedly for the nearest public toilet to throw up. We were coming down the street towards my stop and I understood I would not be to make it. All of a sudden, it was like a veil came over me. My vision turned white and really quiet; as if someone turned off the audio. I said to myself, “I’m going to faint”. Thankfully, I was positioned near the front on the bus, allowing me to take a few steps forward and requested that the driver to open the doors, telling him I needed to vomit. He opened the bus doors and I hurriedly stepped on to the pavement. I was resolved to not get sick in view of six lanes of traffic, so I picked myself up and endeavored to walk across to the park across the road, where I believed I’d at least be able to find some privacy among some shrubs to vomit. However I likely lost consciousness. I was aware of my body but I couldn’t walk or see properly, so I began dragging myself toward my intended destination. “Are you okay, dear?” At that moment, someone picked me up. I felt a strong arm supporting me and heard a man say, “Are you okay, dear?” I managed to tell the unknown man that I needed to vomit. So he virtually carried me into a close-by structure and put me inside the women’s restroom. He inquired whether I required him to wait for me but I said no. Not long after, I regained my composure to the point of sitting down when from beyond the stall I heard him ask, “Are you OK, love? Is there anything you require?” I could not to stand up just then but did manage to say thank you and after a few more minutes regained the function of my limbs. I got myself home and spent several days healing from which was a nasty tummy bug. I did not see his features – just his lower half along with a sizable steelwork tools container he held – yet he rescued me, when I was in my weakest state. Frequently, society tends to make people guarded, hostile, and combative. His was the sort of gesture that undoes that emotional callousness. He was proof that humanity’s innate tendency is to be kind, a quality I adore in other people.
