--just seeing what type of crowd you hang around or live around
didn't you say one of your girlfriends (?) killed her husband, too?

She wasn't my girlfriend, she was my boyfriend's ex girlfriend and my best friend's fiancee's ex wife and we all hung out in the same social circle. She was a high class golddigger. One of her ex-husbands is a household name in the US. I think she's still in prison. I don't think she did it, but I find it rather poetic justice.rewebster said:didn't you say one of your girlfriends (?) killed her husband, too?

No, it's more respectable.rewebster said:household name?---you mean like 'Ron Popeil' ? or one of the no-interest 'real estate investment infomercial' gurus?
I said respectable.rewebster said:Jim Baker? Jimmy Swaggert? Paul Crouch? Pat Robertson?
Evo said:"Uhm, he was a guy, dark hair and a beard". They were so glad I could provide so much detail.
There was an exercise like that on Paris underground..~christina~ said:But I did see tv show where they say, "what would you do"? and they have various situations
Evo said:Also, although I say I would have the presence of mind to take a video of a mugging, I actually witnessed a murder and nothing clicked until I was standing over the body with a pool of blood forming around him, well that and the woman that started screaming when she and her boyfriend walked out of the bar and almost stepped on him. It's just something you aren't expecting so it takes a while to "click". I guess if you live around crime, then you might be quicker to recognize it.
What, just because people around me get murdered, the radio station I worked for got blown up by the Ku Klux Klan, a client of mine had their manufacturing plant blow up right after I visited and another client died from a car bomb in his car after I was there? Geeze, people might think that I'm a jinx. :uhh:Kurdt said:*Backs away from Evo* :uhh:
Absolutely. Not only is my eyesight deteriorating, but my basal body temperature is well below normal.rewebster said:and Schrodinger's Dog said in the other thread that you have 'mad staring eyes' and that you're not hot-- --is that the truth?

1, Is this person really hurt or are they drunk/drugged/crazy
2, Are they a mugger, is this a trick
3, Are they bleeding - will I catch something
4, Will I be sued if I help them (especially if you are a medical profesional or in the USA)
5, Will I be arrested/suspected of hurting them, especially if I'm the wrong skin colour or they come round confused and point at me as the person that attacked them.
6, If it's a child and I am a man alone I don't want to be seen anywhere near them.
If you lived in London/New York and move to a small town in Canada, it takes a while for you not to automatically brush past anyone on the street who tries to talk to you!
Math Is Hard said:I'm surprised they didn't help you. What a bunch of self-absorbed butt heads!
Your incident reminded me of an experiment we did in a social psychology class where we had to "accidentally" drop a bunch of pencils in a crowded area and observe who helped. Pretty much everyone in our class noticed that females are more likely to both give help and receive help. (Myself, I actually had pretty good luck with the guys when I dropped the pencils - I think maybe because I am older and they thought they were helping a teacher.) The guys almost never got help from other guys. In one case, one of the male students from our class wasn't even planning a "drop" and a group of guys happened to bump into him and scatter his pencils. They saw the whole thing happen, and knew it was their fault. But they kept on walking!
Zantra said:It's the "not me" syndrome of apathy. When lots of people are around everyone takes the attitude that someoone else will help. It's actually a known social dynamic, though the term escapes me.
