Today, I saw someone accidentally leave their headlights on downtown. Trying to be a helpful, I chased them down 2 blocks only to be informed that their headlights automatically turn off. FML

Thanks for all the friendly comments! The full story is that I was at outside of whole foods in my car when an old couple got out of their truck. I saw in my rear view mirror that they left their lights on. The street they were going down was a one way street, so I chased after them on foot. After some running and little shoving I reached them only for the wife to tell me "Oh hun, they turn off by themselves." I went back and yes, she was correct.

No good deed goes unpunished, OP. Maybe they'll appreciate your concern?

A lot of new cars have auto off lights. mine does, but I'm used to people calling me out on forgetting to turn them off. And valet always turn of my lights. it's annoying. But it was a kind gesture to run after them.

OP, it's alright it happened to me too. I ran after a man and his son to tell them he left his lights on. It's a new function with newer cars. Keep on being a nice person OP

I did it too, YEARS AGO, when automatic headlights were new.

Not everyone knows what features are on everyone else's car. My car has auto-off and on lights (which it actually does) but yours might not! Which is why OP chased down the owner.

I guess it IS a new feature for the OP and they were being nice...

Don't feel like you're the only one! I have automatic lights and people constantly tell me they're still on. No big deal. At least you cared enough to chase the person down :)

Dont feel bad I get this all the time. My cars headlights and interior lights stay on for about 60 seconds after I lock it. I usually just say thank you but they turn themselves off.

I hit "your life sucks" button basically out of habit but once I thought about it some more, you totally deserved every bit of that and I regret my decision

OP was just trying to be kind, they didn't really deserve it. You, sir, are what some might call a dick.

I have automatic headlights, and cannot ******* stand when people do this. Mind your own damn business.

And I guarantee you'd be one of the first to complain if you DIDN'T have automatic headlights, and no one told you so your battery died. Quit being so negative, it's not like they were being nosy. Just trying to be helpful.
