Trust...

That was actually allowed?

Yep, I guess so.

[Lavos]

So a woman collapses and he offers to take you to the hospital?

Did he take both of you and you just had to leave the unconscious woman with the guy who beat you up?

[Inactive Account 0061]

Actually I don't trust anyone besides myself... And if he wanted to beat me I just hit him first

[LOVE STUFF]

I've been reading some post about me being Foolish.Yes, I was foolish enough to follow him.What Can I say I was nervous.Plus, this was real don't know why some people say it is fake. I just like helping people that need help.

[Aku no Hikari]

I've been reading some post about me being Foolish.

I didn't mean that YOU are foolish. I just meant that WHAT YOU DID was a foolish thing.

Even the most intelligent people might sometimes do something stupid (sometimes I do )... The important thing is that you learn the lesson.

What Can I say I was nervous.

Exactly my point. But honestly I don't really blame you for that. Not all people are able to think in hard situations or prevent themselves from being nervous. :/

You just did your best, and it's over now. Just be happy you came out alive, cuz that's the important thing. ^^

Where I live any teacher doing that would be considered a sex offender.
Btw, did the one that beat you up ever caught?

It sounds fake because there is the plot hole of the woman who passes out just seems to disapear from the plot of the story.

@ Lavos

There's a lot of holes because I don't quite remember because I was so scared.I'm a chicken.

@ -Raiken-

The guy didn't got caught.But the police said that they are going to find him.

@ akuNoHikari

I did learned a really really valuable lesson.^_^

[RaShayRitto]

post pics of the bruises as proof! jk

[Lavos]

Ok, but why was the man taking you to the hospital and not the woman.

hm...isnt this kind of missing the point? If the story isnt real, then some weakly thought out characters are providing the background for our discussion. If its real, then the loops in the story can be explained by the OP's confusion at the time.

i believe him, but again thats not the point =O

In such a situation i would trust any of the bystanders to give me assistance if they offered or if i gave them orders. However i would have instantly brushed off the guy trying to lead me away from the victim and that would have been the end of that.

its not an error of trust, exactly...its just poor judgement in general for that situation. Live and learn

[reikalee]

Cases like that happen here in the Philippines too. It's just so vile that they even use defenseless people for their evil deeds.

You don't often find bad guys trying to use defended people for their evil deeds...

Sadly, neither of this points is true, especially the point about more in the crowd calling. Look up 'Diffusion of responsibility' (as there are other people here, someone will intervene) and 'pluralistic ignorance' (if nobody else is acting, acting must not be necessary).

If you see someone go down and want to help them, make the call, stick with the person, and start ordering the crowd around. Bandages and ice packs don't get themselves, and once people start moving they start becoming more useful and less of a hindrance. If you care enough about someone, even a stranger, to make a call for help then you better stick around long enough to see that help gets to them.


Bad Memory

Was that last bit to me or the OP?

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say in the first bit either.

My sister once saw someone get hit by a car, and she and several other people stayed to help till the police arrived.

[Forgotten Show]

Your sister's experience is not the norm. People who gather in groups around traumatic events are by and large useless; they stare, talk amongst themselves if at all, and the more people that are around the worse this is. It's pretty scary how much a normally friendly, helpful, rational person can justify when others are around. Ask paramedics how often they have to shove their way through a crowd compared to how often they arrive to find a crowd doing something helpful and you'll find a lot more of the former than the latter. My post explained the two phenomena that describe such behavior. There are regional differences in how crowds respond; smaller and more rural communities tend to be more likely to help than larger and more urban communities (whether by a significant amount or not I don't know).

The last part is to the OP and anyone who isn't sure what to do in this kind of emergency. I don't know if that applies to you or not.


Bad Memory

Ok, but why was the man taking you to the hospital and not the woman.

Cuz the hospital said not to touch the women.



I think that I should have explain better.Because peoples aren't understanding.
and I also learned that there wasn't any hospital close by.

[Vampireninja09]

I do think he was foolish, but had good intentions like pretty much everyone has said. Not everyone would have even helped the woman, some people would have just walked by and left her. Just some people, not all. Alot of people have good hearts.

I don't/do trust strangers. I do trust strangers because most of the time the people you're meeting are strangers at first, then they become your friend. If you never trust strangers, how are you to make friends. At the same time, I am wary of strangers...just because stuff like that can happen.

[OtakuInu!!!]

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Good thing you escaped.

I wouldn't trust the man or I would ask other people. You weren't foolish. You were just trying to help. And you didn't even know that the man was gonna beat you up.

I don't trust strangers much. Plus, here if you're a stranger and you don't need anything you don't care about each other. Also, I hate strangers (specially when they look or stare at me) that's why I make myself look scary (or just plain weird) when I'm in public.

[Kamen Rider V3 Blue]

start carrying a knife for protection if it's lawful where you live this crap happens too often...second yes and no while I think it was stupid to follow a stranger down an alley I also believe you tried to make the best out of a bad situation

[Lavos]

The important thing is that you are ok.

[Seta Souji]

No, they don't.

My mum works at an old folks home, so she has to call ambulances more than she would like too. And they are usually very quick. .

I was put on hold before. Another time I saw them make the wrong turn 2 times when there was a water hydrant that broke off and practically gave them a signal where the accident was.

Besides that, I don't believe in this story because its hard for me to believe theres someone that foolish but is able to operate a computer and post on forums.

And no I do not trust strangers. Strangers have to first become my friend, and only then they have the opportunity to earn my trust.

[RaShayRitto]

that sounds like a terrible idea. pulling a knife when you arent the kind of person with a fighting spirit is gonna make things worse. why? the thug sees you pull a knife and gets even angrier. he pulls his own weapon out. now what?

oh, run like you should have done earlier

[ZenErik]

It depends on the person. But either way, I will have doubts at first. It's hard to trust someone who's a stranger or that you just recently met.

[kagome_windy]

aww....things like that happen everywhere=|
you really shouldn't have trusted him....but its good that you escaped =)

I sometimes trust strangers...but women only... never a man >.> as here in India women don't do stuff like that !!@_@

[MoroDashi]

In that situation I probably wouldn.t of trust a stranger, I would of gotten maybe a taxi or somebody that didn.t look weird ish. um yeah .
Andd no, I don.t trust strangers .
