[QUOTE=Xylem;22099726]I was walking down the streets in the middle of night, and I see a little animal on the side of the concrete path, as I come closer to the animal I discover that it's a cat, I assumed that it had an owner because the house the cat was infront of had left the gate open which leads to the backyard.
I went to go pat the little cute thing when suddenly a car in the distance starts beeping it's horn, the cat got scared and just ran in the middle of the road. The car was going over the speed limit and was just about a couple of metres away from the cat and then the cat just stayed in the same spot, I jumped infront of the cat trying prevent the car from hitting it. The man in the car floors the brake and the car hit me but luckily I only got bruises. I get up and see the man screaming at me and saying that I was trying to commit suicide, I tell him that I was just trying to prevent the cat from being run over, then, a woman and a man steps out of a house, who were the owners of the cat. I got up and told them what had happened. They were relieved that I was okay and that the cat was, they offered me $1000 for doing such a life-threatning thing but I refused to take the money. I soon found out that the cat's name was "AJ" which is the same name as mine.

To all the people who think I'm stupid for saving the cat and turning down the money,
I turned down the money because I thought it was just selfish to take hard-earned cash from an elderly couple. The cat was really close to them and they've had him for a couple of years.
I really couldn't watch the cat get crushed, I had to risk my life to save it. I do not regret anything.
tl;dr - Read the thread title[/QUOTE]
I know a lot of people probably have called you a dumbass but I know I couldn't just stand and watch it die either. It'd haunt me knowing that I could have saved its life but did nothing. Therefore you get a friendly from me, you're really brave, and it's really kind of you to do it and not even take money for it. This story makes me happy :)
Take a picture of you and the cat. I want to see it
Pictures or it didn't happen
People who are saying that you are lying about not taking the $1000 are 12 and don't know what being a gentleman means or feels like.
1000 is way to much, But 50 whould be okay i guess ? :P
You did a good deed, but I would of took the cash.
you're going to have a bright future.
