Maybe the headlights are still on, maybe a door’s ajar, or maybe there’s a nail lodged in the tyre just waiting to cause a bad day. While most of us would just leave a note or try to catch the driver before they leave, one well-meaning stranger decided to take 'roadside assistance' to the next level, by literally drawing directions across an entire car just to point out a problem. ## 'Uncle, follow me…' In a now-viral TikTok video posted by [@aina43452](https://www.tiktok.com/@aina43452/video/7490468805370531079?_r=1&_t=ZS-8vRHAtKhB7i), a white Honda was seen decorated with a trail of messages and arrows that looked like something straight out of a scavenger hunt. ![uncle follow me](https://s3wk.b-cdn.net/storages/hmwk_media/media/uncle-follow-me.jpg)Screenshot via [TikTok/ @aina43452](https://www.tiktok.com/@aina43452/video/7490468805370531079?_r=1&_t=ZS-8vRHAtKhB7i) The first message, written on the front left door, read: ***“Pakcik tolong tengok”*** (Uncle, please take a look). From there, things got more elaborate. Arrows guided the car owner toward the back door and eventually to the fuel cap. The helpful stranger even added, ***“Datang dengan saya (ikut saya)”*** (Come with me, follow me), as if embarking on a quest. ![Stranger Draws Directions On Car With Permanent Marker To Warn Driver About Nail In Tyre](https://s3wk.b-cdn.net/storages/hmwk_media/media/stranger-draws-directions-on-car-with-permanent-marker-to-warn-driver-about-nail-in-tyre-2.jpg)Screenshot via [TikTok/ @aina43452](https://www.tiktok.com/@aina43452/video/7490468805370531079?_r=1&_t=ZS-8vRHAtKhB7i) ## A journey to the nail But the real surprise came at the car’s boot, where the message urged the owner to keep following the arrows and *not stop*, with the hand-drawn trail finally ending at the front tyre. ![Stranger Draws Directions On Car With Permanent Marker To Warn Driver About Nail In Tyre](https://s3wk.b-cdn.net/storages/hmwk_media/media/stranger-draws-directions-on-car-with-permanent-marker-to-warn-driver-about-nail-in-tyre-3.jpg)Screenshot via [TikTok/ @aina43452](https://www.tiktok.com/@aina43452/video/7490468805370531079?_r=1&_t=ZS-8vRHAtKhB7i) And that’s when it all made sense, a final note revealed the reason behind the dramatic route: ***“Ada paku”*** (There’s a nail). While the gesture itself was undeniably helpful, the way it was delivered left viewers raising their eyebrows. ![Stranger Draws Directions On Car With Permanent Marker To Warn Driver About Nail In Tyre](https://s3wk.b-cdn.net/storages/hmwk_media/media/stranger-draws-directions-on-car-with-permanent-marker-to-warn-driver-about-nail-in-tyre-4.jpg)Screenshot via [TikTok/ @aina43452](https://www.tiktok.com/@aina43452/video/7490468805370531079?_r=1&_t=ZS-8vRHAtKhB7i) ## 'Thanks, I guess?' Reactions poured in as netizens watched the video unfold. Many acknowledged the stranger’s good intentions but couldn’t help questioning the method. Some pointed out the obvious, why not just leave a note? Others raised concerns about whether the marker ink was permanent, which could mean expensive touch-ups for the car owner. ![Stranger Draws Directions On Car With Permanent Marker To Warn Driver About Nail In Tyre](https://s3wk.b-cdn.net/storages/hmwk_media/media/stranger-draws-directions-on-car-with-permanent-marker-to-warn-driver-about-nail-in-tyre-comments.jpeg)Screenshot via [TikTok/ @aina43452](https://www.tiktok.com/@aina43452/video/7490468805370531079?_r=1&_t=ZS-8vRHAtKhB7i) There were also practical suggestions, such as using washable markers or investing in a special spray to remove ink stains, though most agreed that using a car as a whiteboard wasn’t the best idea. Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted an interesting clue , the car had a blue license plate, which isn’t standard in Malaysia. This led many to believe that the incident likely happened overseas, though the video resonated strongly with Malaysians online. ## What the car owner had to say **We reached out to the original poster, who confirmed that the car belongs to them and that the incident happened in China.** When asked about the condition of the car, they shared that unfortunately, the marker used was permanent and couldn’t be removed. > **It’s my own car, and it happened in China. Sadly, the marker couldn’t be cleaned off,” they replied.** Despite the good intentions, the unexpected ‘artwork’ ended up leaving a permanent mark, quite literally.
