Guy Cred

Whatโ€™s the most โ€œguyโ€ thing youโ€™ve done that youโ€™re secretly proud of, but would never admit in public?

Iโ€™d admit most anything in public, but a very โ€œguyโ€ thing I did was this.

I was at a company picnic. Saw some dudes with their truck stuck in the mud in one of the nearby fields in the park where the shindig was being held. I grew up in rural North Florida so one of the few car things I know is how to get a truck out of the mud.

Iโ€™d seen some discarded boards and such nearby so I picked up some of those, walked over and said I could help get them get their truck free. They were amenable to the idea as they had made zero progress. So I placed a few of the boards in front of the rear tires in a little ramp and had the driver put the truck in L. Then me and one of the guys rocked the vehicle a little as the driver slowly gave it some gas. The truck came out quite easily after that of course because it had some traction.

Even though theyโ€™d been trying to get out of the mud for 20 minutes (and making it worse), in less than two minutes I had freed their truck like it was nothing.

Then I walked back over to the ~100 spectators from my work, many of whom congratulated me on how smooth that was.

That was pretty cool.
