One time when I was much younger, I borrowed a trailer from a buddy to haul around some stuff that wouldn’t fit in my Jeep.
When I initially borrowed it, my friend set up the hitch and locked it in place. I figured I’d be able to do the same when it came time to return it.
Well, I didn’t do it right. I got on the road to return the trailer to my friend, and about 1000ft down the road, the trailer popped right off the hitch and started barreling down the road behind me toward a car.
The car stopped before the trailer hit it. A guy got out, grabbed the trailer, pulled it up to my Jeep before I could even say anything, and hitched it properly while I was apologizing.
He just said, “No worries” and went on his way. What a cool guy.
