flyangel2 2 #27 February 4, 2004 QuoteCould you speak up and be certain that causing a scene with this gentleman was not going to endanger your safety? if so, speak up. if not, stay quiet. Better she miss her flight than you be injured or worse. you never know what people are going to do these days. Would you speak up if you noticed that someone was hurting other person if you knew that speaking up would be endanger your safety? I think that speaking up rather then being a baby and worried about my safety is the last thing I worry about. I've been know to speak my mind lots of times in a public place. Once some one confronts the jerk, most times he's so embarrassed that he doesn't want to look like a bigger jerk by hitting a woman. Besides, most times I check the person out, to see if I can out run themMay your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

Nightingale 0 #29 February 4, 2004 if I saw someone hurting another individual, I would consider whether or not interfering would help that individual, or just get me in the same predicament. If I conclude the second, I would call the police on my cell phone rather than interfering myself. If the man had been phyically assaulting the older woman, by all means, interfere in whatever way you can do so with a reasonable amount of caution. However, if he chooses not to be nice and allow someone to cut in line, its his perogative to do so. He was there first. Ideally, if she was late for a flight, she should have left earlier or foregone the trip to the post office. A lack of planning on her part does not obligate the rest of the world to compensate for her. Should they CHOOSE to be nice, great! If not, its her own fault for not planning ahead.

While my actual actions will vary depending on my mood and time schedule, I tend to agree with this sentiment, Quade.

RkyMtnHigh 0 #31 February 4, 2004 Steve..I hear ya. I was at traffic court in Golden a few weeks back and an elderly lady with an oxygen tank came up to the front row to be able to hear the judge call her name. She sat down in a chair that appeared to be available and a man said "uh, my daughter is sitting here, you can't sit here" and I about came unglued. Me and two others next to me offered our seat and she kept walking. The lady ended up in the last row in court where she couldn't hear and when the judge called her name, she had quite a walk with the oxygen tank. I looked at the man with a disappointed stare..sick self centered bastard. I think some of that comes from people's upbringing and never taught to respect their elders and learn to be considerate of others. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, the roads here in Colorado suck due to snow, wind, ice, and cold. The poor lady might have got caught in traffic due to an accident. Quoteif I saw someone hurting another individual, I would consider whether or not interfering would help that individual, or just get me in the same predicament. If I conclude the second, I would call the police on my cell phone rather than interfering myself. Okay, I admit it, I tend to act first, and think second. That split second of action may help someone. But that's off the subject that Steve brought up. Bottom line, I will always give my place up in a line to an older person.

Nightingale 0 #39 February 4, 2004 well, sure, I've had unexpected stuff happen... this morning, for example. Both my cats were sick everywhere because of a new food. I had to clean up lots of cat barf before leaving for work. Not having time for my cup of coffee at my apartment, I ducked into a starbucks and found myself faced a long line. It didn't even occur to me to ask for cuts. I just left without my coffee, as I didn't have time to wait. I got coffee when I got to work. When unexpected things come up, you have to accept the consequences. You can ask people to help, but you shouldn't be put off if they choose not to. The guy in line could've been in as much of a hurry as the lady... Perhaps he had to get back for an important meeting. You never know what's going on in others' lives.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #41 February 4, 2004 QuoteAre you aware that there are people in this world that have no problems whatsoever with creating stories to gain sympathy and cut in the front of lines? Holy shit. Everybody go outside right now and check to see if there's an eclipse happening! QUADE AND I AGREE ON SOMETHING!!! I agree, quade, and also with the person who said that the woman should ask not just the very first person in line, since the very first person in line is not the ONLY person she's cutting! I'd have just as much fun telling her I think she's full of shit, end of the line, bitch, as I would have telling the fat fuck that he's a jerkoff. I had a great time making a public scene one night in the supermarket when this fat fuck undercover loss-control dude followed me around as I looked for the right bottle of wine that someone asked me to get. I was not shopping for anything else, so when they didn't have the wine, I went to leave the store. I had noticed this asshole following me, but he was making like another customer. So I was fully aware that he was tailing me as I headed for the exit. I was about to go out the door to the parking lot at night, and while I was armed, I did not see a need to INVITE having to shoot or slash this guy, so I paused and pretended to look at the sale circular that was posted in a case near the door -- but I was really watching the guy. He was behind me on the left. I turned around and said, "Yeah, can I help you?" with some attitude, and he actually stepped forward, grabbed my left upper arm and said, "Come with me." I backed away, told him to let the fuck go of me, and challenged why the fuck I should go with him. THAT is when he said, "Store security. Let me have that bottle of wine you took"!!!! So I was like, 'bottle of wine??' He was now making futile reaches toward my right hip, which was where, in fact, I had my shoulder satchel with you know what in there. So I protected it by sidling off to that side. But when he said he thought I had a bottle of wine there, I realized that it was the bump under my shirt from my cellular phone on my hip that he thought was a bottle neck. So I lifted the shirt, said, "It's my fucking CELL PHONE!" he got all sorry and embarrassed. By this time, everyone near the checkout counters had heard my commotion -- and I was glad. I saw one of the managers standing there -- too dumbstruck to even come over and see what was going on with a customer who'd just been accused of shoplifting. I looked right at him and said, "You got an asshole security guard accusing regular customers of STEALING?! IT'S A FUCKING [I]CELL PHONE[/I]!!!" At this point the guy was backing slowly away -- he obviously wanted to crawl into a hole. He meekly offered, "Sorry..." and I barely heard it, so I said, "Excuse me??" and he said "SORRY," again. I gave a nod and said, "Alright, then." And I walked out. Man, was I pissed off. If this schmuck was such a good detective, and thought I'd stuck a bottle of wine into my pants when I never did, how did he come to think he knew I'd done something that he could not possibly have seen happen? ---Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
