I'd 'step up' and let her know she's being cheated.

Depends. I'm not gonna lie I wouldn't do shit unless it was happening in front of me and I was just staring at the guy ripping people off. If I just walked in for a coffee or something I wouldn't notice what other people were talking about.

^This. If I can see what's going on then I would help, but if I'm not paying attn there's not much I can do about it. Y'know?

To be honest i really think i would freak out, watching someone thats blind getting ripped off is terrible. i think i would loose my temper rather fast but i would always have the balls and step up!

Tbh, before I watched this I would have probably let it happen. But, now I would help him or her.

Id say something...EDIT:Male or female

This is like other studies that show that only about 1/6 people will respond to a crisis first. The rest are sheeple who stand around waiting to see what everybody else will do, or to be told what to do.


happen to me recently ppl just stood and did nothing while i had to do something first then ppl followed.

sadly, I'm one of those people, even though i have CPR and first aid training i'd rather sit back and watch some one else do it.

Depends. If someone else is already interfering, I'm not going to bother to do the same. I won't stick around to watch it happen either. A few years ago two guys threw stones at a homeless person before it was even considered a hype. Everyone was watching, I threw one stone which hit one of them right on the forehead, and they left right away. As long as nobody does anything they won't stop, but in most cases it doesn't take much for them to leave. I was a short, skinny 14 year old.

Either way, don't count on the fact that someone will help you, the majority won't do anything but watch. I collapsed on the sidewalk once when I was really ill, and I laid there for a good 20 minutes. Nobody even bothered to ask if I was alright, and then and there I figured out it's not a good idea to wait for help.
Best is to defend yourself, learn to look after yourself, because in the end, there's only one you can really depend on, and that is you.

Lol ^^

Okay, I haven't seen the vid when I posted before.

I did now.

If it were a hobo, in broad daylight in the middle of the street, I'd surely stand up.

cuz people are like sheep.

One steps up, more will follow.

wow...i didn't know you could be so inconsiderate.

I stay out of the way of people...in the suburbs i might step in if i had some friends with me and it was just a bunch of punks but in the city forget about it...such is life i guess, but im not going to join someone else on the floor for no reason...9 times out of 10 even if you explain to someone that what they're doing/going to do is asinine they'll still do it because they're probably assholes....
