Today, I found out that just because you collapse from dehydration on the sidewalk, it doesn't mean people are going to stop driving to see if you're okay, even if they saw you fall. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after rolling my car on the highway, I witnessed several people stop and get out of their cars to take pictures. No one asked if I was okay, and I was the one who had to call 911 for myself. FML
Today, I was walking to my mailbox when I fell down and couldn't get up. My neighbor walked by with his dog, took one look at me struggling, said, "What is wrong with kids these days, drunk at 9 a.m.?" and continued on. I couldn't get up because I'm still healing from a stress fracture in my hip. FML
Today, it was a hot day and a woman walking in front of me collapsed. I helped her up, and I called an ambulance while she laid down. While we waited, two teenage girls walked past and I heard one say to the other, "I love how this city just lets people tan wherever". FML
Today, while at school, I slipped on a wet patch in the hall and fell over, smacking my head against the floor. I laid there for a good five minutes in agonizing pain while people literally walked over me. Not a single person bothered to help me up or ask if I was okay. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. It wasn't all that embarrassing, until I walked two more feet and slipped again. The second time, a man pulled over and loudly asked if I was drunk. FML
Today, as I was crossing the slush covered street to catch the bus, I slipped and fell right in the middle of the road. A woman in a car rolled down her window. She didn't ask if I was okay but just laughed and took a picture of me covered in cold, wet slush. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." FML
Today, I fainted on the sidewalk. When I woke up, I was still lying on the sidewalk, people were stepping over me and my purse was gone. FML
Today, I tripped and fell on the sidewalk. As I did, a car that was passing by stopped, made a U-turn, and then came back so the people inside could laugh at me. When they were done taunting me, they made another U-turn and continued back in their original direction. FML
Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML

Its very true people do not help...My neighbour is a taxi driver. He was taking a passenger to his destination, instead of paying his fare, the guy took out a knife and ran it through my neighbour's neck (towards the side, so it wasn't as fatal). He got out of his taxi, his clothes are all bloody and he's stumbling around on the side walk. Not one person stopped to check up on him, the poor guy had to call 911 on the pay phone...

There was a report on this. A well dressed woman fell, and within a minute, people ran up to help. However, it took several minutes for a poorly dressed man to get help, even when someone else was saying that he needed help.

Anybody saying that it's the OP fault for getting dehydrated, think before you post. It doesn't matter how much water you drink, I mean, it's TEXAS. The heat there is over the top. Assuming that the OP had water before, but his system already used it up. You know, for sweating and shit like that. And, it's not like you choose when to get dehydrated. You don't know when it will hit you if you are in unbearable heat. Even if you had water before in the day.

I didn't click YDI, but the fact that she's in Texas is all the more reason why she either shouldn't be outside or should have come prepared with water. I'm in the northeast, and even I've been hearing about the Texas temperatures all summer. If I had gone to Texas, you would never have seen me without an enormous bottle of water.

handyphil, "so it wasnt as fatal" ?

It's called the bystander effect. The more people there are around you, the less likely anyone is to help.

I would rather have no help then recieve care from someone who doesn't know what they're doing. I was an EMT for a while, and I've seen seizure patients lost teeth and have permanent damage to their mouth from people sticking spoons or sticks in their mouths because someone said they needed to "stop them from swallowing their tongue."
