Today, I picked up an elderly woman walking alone in the cold. I asked her where she was going but she didn't respond. Thinking she was just cold, I kept driving until a man driving erratically kept honking at me. Turns out he's her husband and she has severe Alzheimers. FML

No way you could have known. That was really nice of you to think to let her warm up in the car. Good on you OP!

Well, at least you helped somebody. Hopefully the husband understood what happened and was cool with it.

It's the thoughtfulness that counts. You are amazing for stopping and helping her.

watch a moment to remember. it's about Alzheimer's and it's really sad

Hey you did the right thing. If her husband hadn't come by that lady may not have survived the elements too long.

How is this an FML? You did an awesome thing and kept a sick old lady out of the cold and out of harms way until her husband could find her. She easily could have wandered somewhere dangerous or had a less kind-hearted person pick her up. Her husband should be happy that you kept her safe and warm until he was able to get her back. good job OP, dont let this stop you from doing good deeds in the future, the world needs more people like you. (:

Why do you have the word "cold" in your FML if you're from Arizona?? Lol what is cold to you???

Arizona is more than just desert. I live in Flagstaff, AZ which is about 2 hours north of Phoenix and it is currently 28 degrees and snowing. Besides, it can easily get down into the 30s and 40s in the winter even in the desert areas.

I also live in Flagstaff, AZ and came here to say the same thing . . . we probably got about 3 inches of snow today, the high temperature was 30 degrees, and tonight it's dropping to 10 degrees overnight. So yeah, we definitely have cold in AZ.

Seriously? Arizona got some of the first snowfall in the states this year. And a side note: hawaii gets snow too.

It was good consideration...just got the wrong person...

Fyl but also ydi. Because you should never give strangers rides, but fyl because you were just trying to help her and that's good karma.

That was so nice of you! Im sure he appreciated it (later of course lol).
