Karma

Sorry for venting. If you guys didn't know, I'm an electrician and I was just finishing up a job on a new house with 20' ceilings. We have a double sided 16' A-frame ladder to work from but the thing is very heavy and awkward to manhandle by ones self. I got help getting it into the house earlier today but by 4:30 this afternoon, nobody was around. I was just getting ready to drag it out of the house, when a landscaper pulled up to used the outhouse right in front of my job. I asked the guy if he could help me get the ladder through the door and onto my truck. It would take less than a minute. He said no! He was in too big of a hurry. Not to use the restroom but to get back to "his job". I once again asked "please", the ladder is heavy and I could really use the help for just one minute. He just shook his head "NO" and drove off. :>/ I did get the ladder on my truck and my back doen't feel too good right now but he'll get his someday. I asked him if he knew what Karma was and he said no. I told him that he just might find out soon enough. :) Seriously, people are so selfish nowdays. :nono:

Years ago, I was riding with a guy out on East Zion looking at deer when we came up on a truck that was stuck in the mud about 5' off the shoulder on highway 9. The guys had a toe strap ready to go but the guy I was with, told them no, he wouldn't pull them out. Too risky for damage or a scratch to the bumper. He told the guys good luck and drove off. I sure lost a lot of respect for that guy after that. :>/

 +1. Would that porta-potty have had a good chance of landing door-side down, too??? lol
Just help each other out a little bit & we'd all be so much better off.

What a dic! I would have driven from Tremonton to help you and he could not walk a few feet. total A-hole. As for your friend that would not help out the stranded vehicle I had a friend do the same thing on a deer hunt near Richfield. I don't think we could have pulled him out where he was unless he busted up the stuck truck but we could have tried. but no my buddy just said Sorry guys looks like you there for the night and drove off.

Tough deal Ridgetop. Wouldn't have taken him five minutes to give you a hand. I have to give a big thanks to a couple of guys that got us out of a nasty bind this year in Colorado. Without their help we might still be there. Hope karma comes back their way.

I know that you're too ethical to ever do it, but if you were to post up the name of his company, we could help Karma get started. As far as leaving anyone stuck, I could never do it, too much conscience I guess. -----SS

I have a problem with flat tires & getting stuck on back trails in fact my wife ribs me about it just about every trip now but I’m glad to say I’ve only met very helpful people when in need. Hope Karma came around to them.

a few years back during the muzzle loader i was after a particular deer that i had scouted out, when opening morning i was glassing the areas that he liked to bed down in, i hear a shot less than 100 yards away. I look up and see hair floating in the wind and seen a guy walking down the ridge above me. Yeah, he shot it. Instead of walking away pissed off as i never seen anyone in that canyon all summer, i went up and offered help and even drug it up the mountain for him and over to where he had buddies that took it from there. He asked why I came up and helped him and i said "Karma man." He laughed and thinking that my season was shot i went to an area that i hadnt hunted in seven years and had not scouted and ended up shooting a 30" typical buck out at 200 yards. Karma works for me and has done for many years. =] This was all on public lands.

Did he speak english? Sounds like what i deal with. I ask if they like cake and they usually smile and say no.

On a diff. Note I've seen karma first hand. One of my first mule deer hunts we met an outfitter who took a liking to me and volunteered to take me and my father to a spot he liked because we were having a tough time finding deer another guy invited himself to go along with us. About 4 miles in on foot and the sun started to crack. We took a seat and began glassing. He said "the kid gets first shot since he has never killed a buck" I think I was about 12 at the time we ended up glassing a good buck about 300 yards out but i was uncomfortable with the distance as we came up with a plan to get closer the other fella decided amongst himself he was going to take the deer. With our backs turned he opened fire and dropped the the buck in its tracks. The guide was livid. He explained to me that we were not at the spot he planned on taking me yet and told the guy good luck and off we went. 8 hours later we passed the spot the guy shot the deer he had moved about 200 yards from where we left him. The guy was hoopin and hollerin for help while the guide and i kept walking right past. We never did hear if he got the deer out or not.
