Anyone else have Good Samaritans who stop to help with your bike?

I've had several flats on the road this year, the latest being today. I usually don't see too many other cyclists on the road...it's a very rural area. But also friendly...99% of other cyclists I see wave or say hello.

Today while I was wrestling my tire, two women rode by on hybrids within a few minutes of each other and neither said a word to me. One even stopped to stretch about 50 feet past me but never looked back. They're certainly not obligated to stop or to talk to me...but if I come across someone with a flat, I always ask if I can help or if they have everything they need. Maybe they figured my wheels were too skinny for their tubes? I don't know, but I was sort of disappointed that they didn't even offer any assistance.

I would be forever grateful if someone in a car happened to come by and offer me a full sized pump! My frame pump wears me out and I gave up on CO2...I can never get those things to work when I need them!
