[nagdu] The look, snow plows as pooper scoopers and other things.

It really depends on how I felt about the woman. If for some reason I felt uncomfortable with her presence (and we've all been there) I'd say no. If I got the feeling she really did want to help, then sure.
Really, what we'd do doesn't matter because every encounter any of us have with any other human will not be what you had.

Basically, without walking a long way in a snow storm, the only place for
the dog to go was the edge of a street so narrow that no one ever drives
down it. I was in the way, because there is no way to be there and not be in
the way. This is predominantly a walking only street.



My job is working at the check in desk at the computer lab. My coworker did
not show up because of the snow.



I am going to ask someone to help me find a better place tomorrow, because I
will be in that building a lot.



But, the question at hand is, would you have let the woman help you, or
remained adamant about doing it yourself.
