Is that what happened?</p> <p>I wouldn't be mad. If you had tried to signal to them that something was wrong and they kept on going, that would be one thing. But it sounds like they just didn't realize you needed help. I would also think that my friend in my church parking lot with other people around is fine--it's not like a dark alley way in a bad part of town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403819 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:00:38 +0000 Vegmama 1403819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely be upset. I still make sure my friends get into their cars/houses okay when dropping them off. It's just the right/caring thing to do. SO yeah, it would upset me, but I honestly don't know if I'd say anything. I am really bad with any kind of confrontation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403386 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:06:22 +0000 wonderstruck 1403386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd give them the benefit of a doubt - it's dark and cold, they probably just were trying to get in their cars as quickly as possible and didn't even see you were having trouble. I don't think you can be mad at someone for not helping when you didn't ask for help. I know that asking for help is something I used to struggle with, but it's so much better than just wishing someone would see that you need help and getting frustrated and angry when they don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403130 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:07:30 +0000 psw27 1403130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably be "mad" in my head but never say something. I always try to make sure my friends are safely in their cars, cars start, etc. especially after dark + in the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403115 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:03:30 +0000 pui 1403115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be miffed, but I don't think I'd mention it. Maybe I'd say something like "Thank goodness Mr and Mrs X were there to save me!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403111 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:02:55 +0000 Greentea 1403111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403109 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:02:09 +0000 Greentea 1403109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tarariggins: I find people to be less aware/ intuitive than I, so I wonder - did they know you were really struggling? Then... yeah, that's not awesome. I am glad you had other help! That could be scary/ dangerous or more stressful somewhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403107 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:01:50 +0000 whenoceansrise 1403107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Good idea! That'd give them the opportunity to tell me that they didn't see me instead of me just assuming that they did </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403095 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:59:22 +0000 whenoceansrise 1403095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @.twist.: I'm the same way! It was in a bad neighborhood and it was dark outside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403092 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:58:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1403092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would maybe find a way to mention the situation to them. Something just like, "You can't believe what happened to me after church". If anything at least maybe next time they will think about stopping to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403085 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:57:10 +0000 Adira 1403085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Yes! So I think if one of them drove off and left me, I'd be upset, haha! Though I think we've all done this enough, that I probably don't have to worry about it. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403080 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:56:11 +0000 whenoceansrise 1403080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: True. I've probably done something to one of them before that upset them and not have even known that I'd done it anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403077 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:55:52 +0000 Alivoo01 1403077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: My friends and I do the same thing. Wait till they're inside their home before taking off, making sure they start up and start driving off before I take off, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403070 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:54:23 +0000 Adira 1403070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @tarariggins: I guess it's hard for me to fathom when people just leave like that when I'm soooooo conscious of safety and making sure others are safe (especially women)! So since I would NEVER drive off if I saw a friend outside their car until I was sure they were safely inside (at LEAST, and I'd probably wait until I knew they started the car fine too), I get upset when friends don't pay me the same courtesy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403069 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:54:19 +0000 whenoceansrise 1403069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Yeah, I considered that. It still could be the reason. But I left the building a lot earlier than they did and was crouching down on the pavement banging on my key to try to get it to go in. Maybe they just wasn't paying much attention to me? Oh well! It took awhile but I got home safely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403061 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:51:51 +0000 whenoceansrise 1403061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Some of them left me while I was totally alone! I'm like you, I am always the one to make sure everyone is safe. I guess some people don't think the same way we do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403059 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:51:42 +0000 .twist. 1403059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably be a little annoyed that they drove off. </p> <p>I know, personally, I always make sure my friends get home (and into their house) safely before just driving off! So, if I ever noticed someone not able to get into their car, I would at least ask if there was anything I could do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403057 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:51:12 +0000 skipra 1403057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd imagine that they didn't even realize you were struggling. If you asked for help or told them that your key wasn't working and they still drove off then yes, I'd be pretty upset. If they just saw you at your car and left I don't think it's really a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403053 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:50:55 +0000 mrbee 1403053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to let little slights like that go... otherwise I end up upset all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403048 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:49:14 +0000 mlm2934 1403048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wonder if they didn't realize what you were doing.. That you were actually having trouble and not fiddling with something/checking phone, etc before getting in car? I tend to give people the benefit of doubt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403044 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:47:33 +0000 Adira 1403044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely be upset about this! I was always the friend who was extra vigilant about safety, so if I was dropping someone off, I would always wait in my car until I saw they got safely inside where ever they were going. Or if I carpooled with friends and I dropped them back off at their car, I waited until they were in their car and I could tell they were able to start their car fine before driving off. I can't imagine seeing a friend struggle to get INTO their car and not at least stick around and wait with them to make sure they stay safe!!! So yes - if I was the one struggling and I had friends just drive off, I'd be peeved (unless your other friends were already on the scene and the friends that drove off knew you had people with you already)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-mad-too#post-1403034 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:43:17 +0000 whenoceansrise 1403034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After church last night I walked to my car in the parking lot and could not open my car because my key decided to stop working. I was there for awhile alone, freezing, and struggling to figure out how to get inside my car. Some of my friends saw me struggling and just drove off. Finally, I did get some help from some other friends. It took 4 men who all tried different methods, One of them had a wife who actually prayed over my key and boom it finally opened. But I just can't get over the "friends" who just drove away and left me there. </p> <p>Would you be mad?</p> <p>And also, has that kind of thing ever happened to your car or is that something that only happens to me? haha </p>
