As I always like to say, inorder to survive in Richardson, Dallas, U.S., you have to be any one of the following:
1. Be sociable (That means you have to actually like the act of talking/interacting with people)
2. Own/rent a car (The trick is to get your company to pay for those expenses)
3. Be pretty (Especially if you're a woman)
Luckily, during my first 2 months in Dallas, there was always at least one team mate who knew how to drive a car. That helped fulfil our grocery/movie-theater needs. However, during the last 2 weeks of my stay, it was my team mate, Neha, who came to the rescue.
Mind you, Neha is a very pretty young girl. So naturally, anybody and everybody with half an ounce of brain would come to the aid of the Damsel in Distress. Even if she wasn't quite in Distress. And being Neha's loyal side-kick, I could tag along for perks as well. :D
Sigh. The things you do to get your things done. :D

Hmm... so nobody offered to help YOU eh, just the girl next to you? Just trying to read between the lines here ;-)
I have an absolutely wicked A-rated response to that but alas, this is meant to be a family-oriented blog. :D
Why dont girls with cars take us out for groceries/tinsel towns? We will definetly pay them for the gallons.

The thingy is somehow guys are consciously biased to pretty women and they tend to be even more nicer when it comes to helping :) not just in US of A even in blore!!!
I am just beginning to experience what you have experienced before.
I just add one more to your list!!
Learn to live with internet/youtube/gtalk etc.
