I was standing outside a shop in the Whangarei mall today. A girl came and sat on the window ledge of a shop. Next thing you know I hear "could you please help me?" I was cautious at first wether it was a trick to get me close enough to snatch my bag (horrible to have to think like that I know)
I got close enough and asked her what was wrong. She told me she felt dizzy and didn't feel all to good at all. Again she said "please help me" Next thing you know her eyes rolled up in her head and she collapsed on the floor. I tried supporting her all I could. Did anyone walking past bother to help? No. I don't think so. Did any stop to see if we were ok? Hell if "she" was ok? Nope.
she kind of sat on the floor for a minute then got up again. Told me she had to go to the bathroom. I left it at that. Something had me worried though and I decided to find mum. Told her what happened. She then asked me where she had gone just incase she collasped again.
Sure enough we found her in the public toilet collapsed on the floor. While people stepped over her body to get to the sink to wash her hands. Like wtf? You see someone collasped on the damn floor like that wouldn't it raise a brow? Wouldn't you at least ask if they were ok?
The girl was sweating like crazy. Went and got a lady in one of the shops to call an ambo, got a glass of water and wet cloth to whipe her brow with and try and cool her down some. She couldn't even reach for her glass of water let alone hold it. I had to place her hand round it.
I couldn't help but think to myself.. "What if that was my child collapsed on a public toilet floor" what if that was my child and someone who couldn't care less stepped over them so they could "wash their hands" and go back to their daily business. that is a very horrible thought.
I'm sure if it was their child they would have gave two fucks.
