Where you simply can't do the right thing!

AskMyChocolate

I was at home earlier on, sitting out on the balcony, (Oooh balcony), when this poor woman mis-judged her turn and crashed into the CCTV pylon in a deserted car-park.

She was distraught. I didn't know what to do. Should I go down and offer assistance? Would she take it amiss?

Fortunately, while I was pondering, two other more decisive fellas came to the woman's aid. Bless yis lads.

I was still lost in a mental image of Elizabeth Fry and Emily Pankhurst looking at her, going," Fifty years of work, down the Swanee, trying to eradicate these stereotypes, y'blind bint"

So AHers, what should one do in a situation like this?

Offer help? Or just keep your head down and wait for the cavalry to arrive?

I think you should probably not invoke suffragettes over a crashed car and go back to whatever frightfully emancipated activity you were previously engaged in.

What should one do? What CAN one do?

She should've just called AA or something.

• Acquire CCTV footage
• Post online
• Hilarity ensues

A slow hand clap from the balcony whilst rising to your feet and shouting "Well Done" and "Bravo" as she got out of the car would have cheered that lady up no end and helped her to have seen the funny side of crashing into a pole in an empty car park. Then finish it off nicely with a Buddy Christ pose.

Was in a beergarden one day where there was a door out onto the street and a woman was trying to park. Now the situation was similar to the part in the film Snatch where there is a massive space and he's having problems parking the car.

She must have been trying to park the car for a good 5 minutes straight with nothing around her so my friend ran over, tipped on the window and asked "Do you need any help parking the car, love?". She drove off very quickly, but why werent you helpful like that OP?

I'm confused.

Why can't you help at scene of an accident?

Oh look! It's Mr. 'I bend the rules by parking in customer only parking zones even when I'm not a customer' to offer some something constructive!

Well AH has no time for this! Jog on!

They call me the Florence Nightingale of the Highway.

Or is that Joan of Arc?. . . .

Anyway, you should always offer assistance OP, always.

Classic example of shifting the responsibility. I would help but then it would depend on things like how bad the accident was. If I thought it was nothing too serious I'd leave it to herself to sort it out.

Diapason

Just so I'm clear. You were on a balcony. Liquids fall at an acceleration of 9.8m/s/s, which means that liquids falling from balcony height could be said to be moving at high velocity, nay blasting, by the time they hit ground level. What to do, what to do...?

In short, you should have called down and asked her was she alright, doing the gentlemanly concerned bit while simultaneously letting her know you saw her, and you judge her.

Face Kicker.

You should have comforted the poor woman, then when she wasn't expecting it. Bang. Kick her in the face!
