"Did you walk or did you ride away?"

If you saw someone who was obviously troubled with something, would you ask if they were alright (keep in mind this is a complete stranger)? Or would you continue along your way? If you continued along would you wonder if they were alright?

Strangers are people too. I would stop and ask if they need something, or how can I help them. I would be able to get them out of my head if I didnt.

It's 'run' away.

And yeah, I stop to help strangers in need whether they're really troubled or they just look like they could use a hand.

Riding my bike the other day and quickly pulled off the sidewalk and dropped my bike to help a guy bring a washing machine downstairs in front of his apartment.

And today helped my new upstairs neighbors with a matress it looked like they were having trouble with.

So whether they're in serious trouble or just look like they could use a hand, I'm always willing to put aside what I'm doing to help 'em out.

Do that all the time. Stopped or pull up and ask if they need to use my phone, or when it's a fender bender I have called the police for them. I'd want someone to check on me.

Im the same way

Yeh, i would ask if they r ok.

Ya never know when ya might need someone to come to YOUR assistance.

very true statement

I'd have to stop and offer assistance. I'm a softie.

I'd stop and see if I could be of assistance too.

I stopped to help an older man in the rain once. His car wouldn't start and I asked if he needed a "jump". He informed me in an annoyed manner that he didn't have any jumper cables. I said, "Well, I do!" Ok, ok, he said, scowling at me. He sat in his car while I worked in the rain connecting the cables to our cars. When his started, I disconnected them and put them away. He shouted out his window, "Shut that hood!" When I shut his hood, he backed up and left without a word of thanks. I still think about that grumpy old man, and for some reason it makes me smile. The experience hasn't deterred me from helping others in similar situations.
