to think I wouldnt stop and help at an accident caused by someones own moronic driving

[RedRedWine1980]

If it was just them involved for instance because why waste time on people who have no regard for not only their safety but that of others. Of course this hasnt actually happened but I cant help thinking like this when someone is acting like a complete dick overtaking in dangerous places etc driving way too fast.

I did mention in the OP it hasnt actually happened- but it has because I remembered the idiot in the snow. He wasnt injured but unlucky his car was smashed up due to his careless driving and not wanting to drive at a sensible speed.

Gig- surely you are old enough to discuss the matter without calling people twunts? I dont appreciate abuse for my views no matter whether people agree or not.

There's a difference between thinking something and thinking it then posting it on AIBU.

YABU for just posting it IMO.

Actually redredwine, I think I'd definitely stop and help someone in those circs, not least to make sure I was a witness and could tell the police exactly what sort of twattish driving they had been doing to cause the accident, rather than it being classed as no fault or whatever.

Erm RRW1980, you are actually rising to it.

So you saw something that scared you, so what?, it's happened to us all, but we don't do the daft thing of asking the question "AIBU to think I wouldnt stop and help at an accident caused by someones own moronic driving"

The way it's worded is actually why you are getting flamed here. It IS a heartless thing to think and say out loud.

This actually hasn't even happened either? Oh brother, you really don't have anything else to think of do you???

Just think about the death rates in general if the victim being an idiot meant that the emergency services could adopt such draconian approaches to first aid???

Sorry love, not meaning to fight with you directly, not my style at all, (look it up), but you did come out with something really, truly daft, and on AIBU....

You had an 'impure thought' as you yourself put it, you for some unknown reason decided to share it with the whole of MN, and in AIBU...

Don't stand and try and fight your way out of this one, honestly, it's not worth it.

I do have to ask though. If you drove round a bend and saw a car crashed at the side of the road you wouldn't necessarily know it was due to bad driving would you?

I confess there are 2 occaisions that I haven't stopped directly to help at an accident [blus]. Once the driver did not appear to be hurt and a police car was pulling over and another there was 2 guys out of the car shouting violently at each other. On thee second occaision I called the emergency services as soon I had driven round the bend and pulled over safely. I was a pathetic coward being on my own at the time.

Breevander What on earth has Christianity got to do with it?

Incidentally there was a thread earlier today / yesterday where someone said they wanted to put their children in a bag and throw them in the river. People who questioned that thread title were mostly told to chill and that it clearly wasn't serious.
Why is this op getting such a hard time and not that other one?

ughhh yes privet I saw that, hid it.

redwine -grow up love.

you posted something that was hideous. you have now got all huffy because you have been told in no uncertain terms that what you were thinking was dispicable.

i am old enough to realise that people can behave stupidly (like this) and yet know that they will still need help when it comes crashing around their ears.

now, why not act with a little dignity. accept that what you had proposed was indeed awful and move on. the more you try and defend your position the more of a twunt you are appearing.

I wondered if this were a reaction that thread.

The tone is quite different isn't it though? Because in the other thread it is clearly just a yell of frustration. Nowhere aprt from the thread title does the OP actually mention it.

Whereas the OP of this thread rationalises the action of the title in the first post. Quite different.

Gigantaur keep on, calling names like the childish person you are.

I do have bad thoughts sometimes, mostly when people endanger the lives of others from being a total plank, as happened to me today, but yes its clearly because I have nothing else to worry about.

Toccata you could have hidden this thread also but chose to give me a mouthful, was the OP of that thread a friend of yours or something?

My brother had a horrendous car crash some years back. Almost certainly due to his own stupidity.
I will be forever grateful to the unknown lady who climbed into the wreckage to hold his head and wipe the blood away and talk to him soothingly until the ambulance arrived.

oh how utterly hilarous. I am childish for pointing out that you are a disgracefull human being and huffing about because you have been told so. because i have told you that i think you are making yourself appear a twunt.

apparently name calling means i am a child.

and yet you have been throwing about terms such as plank/moron/stupid/gormless cunt etc.

hmm me thinks you need to go take a lie down dear.

Its not really different TheFallen though is it, saying you think something (or even jest about it) is nothing like actually doing something.

Im annoyed yes and angry that I could have been injured today when I choose to be a sensible road user, I dispise people who cause accidents through carelessness I will make no lies about that. Its nothing like wishing people dead or saying people deserve to die when you THINK bad things about selfish inconsiderate people.

I havent called anyone on here a moron at all. Ive called hypothetical people who cause accidents through stupidity morons- big difference really.

And please do not patronise me either, im not your 'dear'. If you think im wrong then say so, there is no need to name call and patronise unless you are about 7 years old.

If he is a twat he might have ended up suing you.
In the UK there is no legal onus on you to help anyone injured or ill.There is a good samaritan law which protects you if you are sued so long as you have first aid training and you only did what you have been taught to do.

ok redwine - you arent a twunt.

But anyone that would drive off having witnessed an accident that may have left someone injured or worse is an irrisponsible wanker who is a disgrace to humanity and should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

but not you of course, just a hypothetical person that may do that.

grrr why can i not spell tonight?

I had a filthy dream about Hitler once (don't ask).

Were I to start a thread titled "AIBU to dream of Adolf's sensual touch?", I would fully expect to be called unreasonable.

It's completely different. Because you are actually talking about "thinking about" leaving someone at the scene of an accident. As in actually discussing that scenario. Whereas the OP of the other thread is merely using it as an exaggerated yell of frustration to lead off a discussion of her children's behaviour. In which bagging them and throwing them into a river isn't mentioned at all.

Was this an attempt just to make a point btw?

I expect if you did it would have been 'ooh that made me LOL- of course YANBU...' somehow tethers...
