At least she tried to help

  1. Oh my god the embarrassment! Her heart was in the right place…. although if the default action if someone is actually in trouble, is a tweet… the world is fecked.

  2. When I was a lot younger I approached one of the members of staff at Madame Tussaud’s as I was concerned about an overweight person that appeared to have passed out. Turns out it was a waxwork of a sleeping, overweight, tourist.

    Never quite got over it.

  3. Surely plan A is to ring an ambulance, not send a tweet.

    I pray she never finds me if I’m in a compromised position.

  4. FFS Teresa!!

    That repairman had to get up off the floor in the middle of his job to answer the station phone to say that he was not dead.

  5. Lol. Isn’t it usually advised to called 999 instead of tweeting about it when you have a concern like this. Bizarre!

  6. hi I’m standing on O’Connell Street waiting for a bus and there’s a nun lying face-down near the GPO. She’s gyrating and throwing shapes like she’s having a fit and it doesn’t look like there’s anyone here to help!!!

    Wait, I hear something. Sounds like “….funk soul brother check it out now…. funk soul brother right about now….”

  7. So she thought someone was collapsed in front of her and instead of so much as asking them “are you ok?” she tweets it, really?

  8. Yank here, and that type of wholesome/helpful conduct would never happen in NY. See someone collapse? Maybe. Otherwise, everyone here is like “it’s no one’s business except for the transit cops.” And, they rarely give a fuck.

  9. Agreed. Not a good source of ridicule. Should be applauded for using the phone to help instead of video for the likes.

  10. Jesus this comment section is full of ignorant, judgemental wankers. I’d like to point out some things that you lot seem to be oblivious of.

    1. She tweeted at Irish Rail at 9am and got a response in 3 minutes.
    2. We don’t know what else she might have done in the meantime.
    3. Never call emergency services unless you know for sure that they are needed. They are hugely underfunded and wasting their time might cost someone else their life.
    4. Most importantly, she saw someone she thought was in danger and she did something about it. When was the last time you did anything like that?
