I read about the awards for stupid awards - like burglars who get jury awards because they stole a sharp knife and cut themselves. I would not want to be caught pepperspraying homeless people these days.
Yesterday I passed some folks walking their dog and the lady looked at me and fell down on an irregular patch of pavement - while I was still twenty feet from her. Her husband (I presume) was helping her out and I asked, "Everything okay?" - basically offering the use of my cellphone if needed.
He turned and commanded me, "Stay right there!"
I turned and left. But it got me pondering he was probably in law enforcement of some kind and his reaction was to determine my culpability in his wife's accident. Commanding me like that really put me off though.
Regards,
David Merrill.
