Chivalry in Russia

Via Neatorama: Heavy rains in St. Petersburg flooded the streets. What’s a woman to do? This act of chivalry not only kept them dry, but also made the women recording the video squeal with delight. There’s also a bonus surprise that passes by

Man, but if this ain't a self-contained nice guy parable... This guy goes out of his way to carry two girls across the street and in the middle of his kind act some jerk goes spinning by on a wakeboard, spraying everybody with water, and when everyone's done wildly cheering for the showoff the average guy just goes back to the silent task of hauling these girls around in awkward silence.

I mean, not that I'm bitter or anything.

At least the wakeboarder is being a dick to everyone equally.

Well it does look like they were prepping themselves to do so, pulling up their jeans, testing the water, which I imagine was damn cold by her reaction. I guess they would have eventually taunted each other in to crossing, the guy simply sped it a long, keeping them dry and without frozen feet >> ^Lann:

I don't know why it was such an issue for them to get wet but upvote for the wakeboarding!

I know this is cooler and all, but wouldn't it have made SO much more sense to have them get in the car, and drive them to the other side?


Not NEARLY as fun as physically picking them up! If you're gonna perform a good deed, why not make it pleasant and make it last a little longer (they looked cute... from a distance...)?

Getting your jollies is exactly the wrong way to think when you're doing a selfless good deed like this guy. You think he mighta gotten away with copping a feel too? Giving them a little squeeze each?>> ^Godless:

There is a difference between chivalry and selflessness, you know... Unless you associate the former with "courtly love", as it was celebrated by troubadours in 12th century France. And even back then, 10 times out of ten, it usually had to do with a beautiful young woman... Is that such a terrible thing?

Mother Russia is still living in the dark ages? Wow, I guess the cold war really did a number on their transportation funding. What modern society these days doesn't have a drainage system?

But yeah, the wakeboarder got my upvote. Holy crap I wish that happened here. I'd be doing that too!

A road can overflood even though there is a drainage system in place. If it rains like hell over a big area the sewage pipes can reach their limit on how much water it can take away pr minute. Not saying that's the case here, but saying Russia dont have a drainage system because you see some russian people near a flooded road is not thougt through.

On the other hand, when is the red car comming back for me? that looks awsome! also the last girl looks cute.
