Today, I was at a window seat on a bus full of people when I saw a person lying motionless in a gutter. I jumped up, nearly hysterical, screaming for the driver to stop because there was a guy really hurt on the road. An emergency stop and huge commotion ensued. It turned out to be some garbage. FML
nextstopplz tells us more.
haha wow there are some a*holes out there. actually I have very good vision and i am not intellectually stupid thanks... i was in a moving bus and it wasnt a garbage CAN.... i dont think people come in that shape, but a big bag of garbage that had split and stuff had come out and around the bag.. yeah. maybe next time this happens it will be one of the a*holes that commented on this lying in the gutter and i will remain silent. HAHA!

Good for you for being concerned though - many many people would totally ignore a gutter person.

... honestly, caring about your fellow man is all well and good, but did you really have to make such a commotion? You could have simply asked the person next to you, or the driver, "Hey, doesn't that look like a person? Maybe we should go help them!" Or better yet, call 911, calmly state you think someone's in trouble, give the operator the location, and continue on your day. P.S: Garbage can look body-shaped at times, but honestly, who lies in gutters anymore when there are such things as alleys and bars?

it's the new panic mania sweeping the nation, people are mistaking garbage for people.
