[quote="Unknown_Sniper":57a36]wow. You wouldn't find that shit in NH. I don't want to sound like a prick or anything but if you ever pull over to the side of the road and get out and stand there, within seconds people will be stopping and asking if you need help. I know I do it for people and Ive had many people do it for me even if I just pull over to make a phone call or something.
If I saw a body lying on the side of the road, my first reaction would be to stop and see what the fuck is going on. sometimes I just can't believe people wouldn't bother to take time out of their lives to save another life.
I hope the guy is ok.[/quote:57a36]

I have to agree, to an extent of course. Just a couple of weeks ago, during of the bad storms, i saw a car off the road, no one stopped, or even slowed, except me. turns or the ppl in the car were two friends of mine, and luckily they were ok. But to add some irony, this was the 3rd or 4th accident the driver has been in this year alone.

And ironically enough, i just had a test about this stuff today in my social psychology class

wouldn't happen to have been around 8 at night during the St patty's storm would it? I came across a car backwards off the road just south of PSU and I stopped to ask the guy if he needed help but he was on his way to a friend who had pulled over to help him.

if the person had already been in multiple accidents, another accident wouldn't be ironic.

the ironic stuff was the bystander effect, the effect where ppl dont help others because others are around.

and no it wasnt around the st patty's day storm it was a few weeks ago on a sunday, April 15th.

Jesus Arkan gets all the crazy shit. Worst I've seen was a racoon getting run over.

Hope that dude was alright. You could have given them your number and told them to call you and let you know how he did.
