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

I'm sorry that it took you this long to realize people in general suck.

There are too many stupid comments here for me to weed through all of them. I saw maybe 2 that knew what they were talking about. This has been mentioned before, and I'll mention it again. It's not a lack of courtesy or plainly the fact that "people in general suck" that caused so many drivers to neglect the OP's obvious need for medical attention. It's called the Bystander Effect, people. Basically, it's a psychological term for the social phenomenon in which the more people are present during an emergency, the less likely a person is to react or help out. So if 100 drive by and watch OP collapse, each driver is going to think "Someone else will deal with it," whereas if OP collapsed on a back-country road where people seldom drive by and just one driver saw him, that driver would be more likely to stop and help than any of the hundred drivers on the busy road. Get it? No? Then google it. Even better, go to CranePsych.com and learn something.

It's lame in my opinion, how people don't really give a s**t when something happens to some1, they don't care as long as their butt is safe.. helpful people are hard to find these days. FYL it is =/

If you lived here in Canada, someone definitely would've stopped within seconds, especially if you were in Alberta... I moved here a little over a year ago and I've found that the people are in less of a rush, really friendly and polite and actually enjoy helping people/interacting with others in any way instead of just ignoring them. Yay Canada! :)
