Completely stranded at a petrol station in Sharjah, what do you do when your car just won't start?

So picture this, it's about 8 in the morning, I've stopped to fill up on my way to work and when I get back in the car it just sits there completely lifeless. Not even a flicker on the dash. The petrol station guys were sympathetic but obviously couldn't do much and I had a meeting I genuinely could not miss. I'd never actually been in this situation before so I had no idea whether to call my insurance, a towing company, or just start asking strangers for jumper cables. A quick search while I was standing there stressing led me to a page about fast car jumpstart service in Sharjah which I hadn't even considered as a standalone thing you could book, I always assumed jumpstarting was just something a friendly stranger did with cables in a car park. Turns out there are people who come to you specifically for this, which sounds obvious in hindsight but genuinely hadn't crossed my mind before that morning. They got there while I was still on the phone telling my colleague I'd be late, checked whether it was just a flat battery or something worse, and had me going again pretty quickly. The battery itself ended up being the culprit and they flagged that I'd probably need a proper replacement soon rather than just relying on jumpstarts to get by. Whole experience made me realize I should probably have a plan for this kind of thing before it happens again rather than panicking and googling while standing on a forecourt.
