I have. When I haven't been riding and am out of shape, and get tired, and am facing a long ride with a headwind to get home, I call my wife. She loves to come rescue me. I usually know when it's a possibility and make sure beforehand that she'll be available, and that it won't inconvenience her.
Once when I was young a foolish I got a flat and didn't have the means to fix it. I held the wheel in my hand and stuck my thumb out. A bicyclist pulled over. He had a pickup truck. I threw my bike in the back and he took me right to my door! A road angel.
