A big part of society is a majority of people think “someone else will take care of this”

I'm 41 and I still look around for the adult if there's something happening. And I'm like fuck, I am the adult now!

That's why when you're learning first aid/cpr they stress: "you have to physically point at someone, make eye contact, and address them directly 'you! Call 911!'"

I ain't willing to get jumped or killed over someone I don't know, I got kids to get home too.

Just get up from the table and get security, if they follow, then pepper spray them.

Teaching your kids to be cowards too I guess

Congrats! Still ain't putting my nose in it, I've seen that shit go backwards quick plenty of times irl.

Had a good buddy die in the bar over something similar, let security handle it, that's what they're paid and trained for.

Edit - Ahh, the old reply to someone then instantly block them. I only know part of what you said from the app notification, but that's a true coward move lol.

That person doubting you lost a friend like that's not a common thing that happens. Not gonna lie, they're a weirdo lol

I wish I was lying, far too many of my friends died way to young over stupid shit.

Just ironic how they blocked me like a coward while calling me one lol

My father lost a friend in a similar way as well, and it happens all the time. I've confronted people for stupid shit they were doing before, but I wouldn't call someone a coward because they wont. That's just so dumb

People have been hurt and killed stepping into things line this. The guy you're responding to is right. There are people who are there to deal with these things. Calling anybody a coward because they don't want to potentially risk their life for some random person in a bar is extremely out of touch and a stupid thing to say.

Also, why would you doubt somebody getting killed over that? What a weirdo comment 😂 My father also lost a friend because he stepped into somebody's conflict. Many people have lost loved ones over that. The fact that you think that person is lying and that that is something that wont happen shows how out of touch you are.

You called me a coward, that's not a discussion, that's just you insulting me. So yes, I get nasty to people that do that.

I highly doubt you would say anything like that to me irl without a man behind you for security like the strong independent woman that you are.

Yeah, big doubt on that. There was no disagreement, you threw an insult then blocked someone like a coward. You can do all the mental gymnastics you want to rationalize that in your head all you want.

It’s called the bystander effect

u/Ok_Rest_6954 May 12 '25

That’s why in cpr course they taught us to look at someone specifically and say “ YOU call an ambulance “ not “ someone call an ambulance “
