Today, at the supermarket, a man collapsed. I gave CPR while the cashier called for help. During this, the other patrons were complaining that no other register was open. Once the ambulance arrived, I returned to my cart to find items removed and 40 dollars taken from my purse. FML

Hopefully the store has CCTV and you can ask them to send it to the police! On the saving someone's life, I salute you! With my paw of course :)

#11 & #28: In America, CCTV is only used to either throw your ass in jail, have someone sue you, or later finds its way on shows like "World Dumbest".

Well how about have it used to throw the thieves' asses in jail? Someone's ass still gets thrown in jail...?

What you did was amazing OP. But next time, don't leave your purse in the cart while you do it. Maybe I have absolutely no faith in humanity but frankly I think you should be grateful your purse wasn't stolen altogether.

"Here hold on. I have to grab my purse before--Oh shit he's dead now. Oh well, my purse was OBVIOUSLY more important than someone's life."

Oh you're dying and need immediate medical attention? Let me just grab my purse. Could you hold on I have some milk in my cart and I don't want it to go bad, brb.

Not saying she deserved it at all but it would've taken a second to grab her purse while she ran to save the person. But of course in the heat of the moment who'd be thinking about their purse.
DDCA 24
No shit, dude.

Sorry, maybe someone took it that needed it more than you did?

Because simple necessity always constitutes theft. Right.

If that is your benchmark for morality, I'll say clear of you.

I'm sorry you had to experience the shitty side of human nature while being a Good Samaritan. Continue your good deeds as you see fit. What goes around, comes around. Good and bad.

that sucks.... people are so not understanding

You might be down 40 dollars (terrible thing to do!) but you saved someone's life!! That's incredible.

Well why did you leave your purse unattended?
DDCA 24
Because posting their Facebook status prior to performing CPR seemed a little taboo at the time.
SuperDanielNL 23
Because some poor sod was dying for christ's sake? Some folks value human life more than the contents of their purse.

you really did not just ask that oh my god there was a man possibly dying when someone needs help people who aren't selfish twats like you don't think about their purse
DDCA 24
There is nothing sexier than an intelligent woman calling out another woman's unintelligent comment by calling her a twat. I may need mouth to mouth. Nurse!

Oh my god #20, you can't just ask someone why they left their purse unattended.

That was the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Did you read the "collapsed on the ground" part? She was saving a life. I dont think she had time to think "oh shoot my purse is still there" and go retrieve it

You all take me very seriously. This is basically a social media website where people correct each other for everything. Chill.
simsgirlgem 25
Don't worry Op good Karma coming to you while bad karma comes to who ever robbed you and really complaining about not being able to check out gee sorry the man decided to collapse inside instead of out some people I swear
WonkeyDonkey 10
Are you f*cking kidding me? That seriously has to be an all time low. You have a good heart and didnt deserve that. I'm sorry to hear it happened. Don't worry their Karma will catch up with them. Was there any CCTV cameras about?

Wow. People are total assholes.
