Drive by collapsee

    Was driving through a lil village with my friend at about 6 today when I saw woman of maybe 60 years old just collapse to the ground at what I think was a bus stop, pulled over straight away, hopped out and went over to help her up, she was fully conscious, and I got the whiff of alcohol off her straight away.

    Sat her down on a seat and asked was she ok, did she want us to call an ambulance, she said Ohh no, no way, then I wasn't too happy leaving her there so I asked where's she going and she said she didn't want to tell me so all I could do really was ask her a few more times if she was ok and left her be. Or was it? There wasn't any available taxi's around, didn't want to keep bugging her about getting in the scary big white van with a stranger and she didn't look THAT bad for an ambulance.

    So what would you have done and would you have been as worried if it was a man instead of a woman?

    Reach for my flask and toast a "cheers!" to him or her?

    Grab her purse, or cop a feel?

    Should have pretended to bugger off, then follow her home and rob her gaf. Let her lead you to the honey pot.

    Just drunk tbh, would've gone on once she said she was ok...

    She was probably on her way back from church after having a sup of wine.

    I'd probably have taken a picture of you and your van then rushed to the nearest internet cafe.

    Hightailed it out of there as soon I smelled the drink.

    after accusing her of being a disgraceful tramp.

    Same thing happened to me the other week actually. Well a bit different i seen a man lying in the middle of the road lucky i seen him in time (for my cars sake) I wasn't sure at first what was up with him I just rolled down the window and asked him was he ok, he was very drunk and couldn't stand.

    I was afraid he might cause an accident there so I went to the local garda station and told them incase he caused an accident then went home what they chose to do about it then was up to them by conscious was clear.

    She probably had a heart attack while trying to figure out how to work her digital camera. All for a measily €100.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Imagine what would have happened if she got the photo and then had to figure out how to upload it.
