I mean I know it’s not a new thing, I was in a food court with the family once and an old girl was sat at a table alone crying, there were hundreds of people sat all around her and nobody, not one single person went over to see if she needed help.

I went and sat with her, asked if she needed help, asked her if there was anyone I could call, did she need to talk about anything ?Anyway, got her calmed down and she went off right as rain, to this day I don’t know what she was crying about ?.......my wife just rolls her eyes now like “Here he go’s again!” Lol 

But I genuinely can’t ignore these things and I don’t understand how anyone can? 
Maybe I’m just a total f***ing weirdo ? Lol 

I do similar things and my misses asks why i have to get involved. well if it was my nan, mum, sister or daughters id hope a bloke would lend a hand. doesn't have to be a women that needs help if i can i will, was at aldi a few days ago and an older bloke bought some compost, 2 store assistants watched him struggling to lift them so i went and put them in his boot and asked if he needed help the other end ( his son was gonna get them out after work) but it really annoyed me 2 20-30 year old blokes stood watching this old gent struggle with something that took me 30/40 seconds.

problem is everyone is either afraid of potential consequences or 'not my issue' mentality. simple things really piss me off; another has just come to mind, driving to my mates not too long ago and theres a women beside the road and her wheel has completely buckled underneath. so slow down, wind the window down to ask if there's anything she need (lift, phone etc.) and the c**t behind me beeps. i just dont see the need for it

It's the way things are today..I'm ok so feck it attitude..how can folks turn a blind eye to that behavior..

Easiest thing in the world to say what you’d do, but would you actually?
I think, like in any sticky situation, I’d weigh up the odds based on what I thought would be the worst outcome. Worth remembering that women’s mouths seldom make a potentially violent situation better for a man  Like to think if it got to more than verbals though, I’d get between the girls and him. 

Reminds me of a story my brother told me years ago..., said he saw a couple of junkie types sweeping all the coffee jars off the shelf in a supermarket into a bag, a staff member saw them and shouted for security and so they bolted for the door.., by which time the guard was between them and said door. One then pulls out a screwdriver and says move or I’ll “plunge fcuk out of you”, and so the guard obliged, letting  them escape. The manager then appears and starts roaring at the guard saying “you should have done something”! 
Guard says, “I get £3.50 an hour..., maybe you should have fcukin done something” and walked out. Hard to argue with his logic.

Now you know why i rarely go in shops ....beyond paying for petrol i try to stay away from " shopping " as much as possible....the nearest i came to anything like that in recent years was when i was sitting at a set of traffic lights watching a bloke pushing a bird about the street,i wouldnt normally get involved in domestics but this prick was a big geezer roughing up what looked like a late teens/early 20's girl and i just couldnt take it no more so pulled the motor over,walked towards bully boy telling him to leave her alone,he fires up and we get into it a bit....he comes off second best and i then get confronted by an out and out nutcase of a woman screaming and hollering at me " its nothing to do with you we always argue c**t c**t c**t,my brothers will shoot and stab you bla bla bla "..................sometimes you just cant do right for doing wrong !

Thats lovely and good for you......trouble is the society we now live in within certain areas if i saw a young lad offering that kind of assistance to an old gent in my old manor id straight away become suspicious and its terrible to think like that.

[TOMO 28,829]

i have stepped in before ...with a few incidents...and had my mrs stop me when shes been with me...

and one extreame incident 20 year ago seen me and my mate stop a rape ....but i would think everybody would step in in the situation

The son of a pal of mine actually got sacked from Asda for chasing a shoplifter up the road....admittedly he put the boot in defending himself but thats why big stores dont want their staff getting caught up in that kind of shit they'd rather just add the cctv to the rest of the collection for plod at the end of the month !

I have plenty of times and always would. I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I didn’t.

You know yourself, you wasn’t even thinking about getting some thanks, you just didn’t like what you were seeing and had to do something.

These things are never about a pat on the back, they are about looking at yourself in the mirror I believe
