In both cases other bystanders were already helping them by the time I saw them. For one of the cases, I could hear sirens coming closer, which I hope/presume was for them. Since I lack medical training, there was really nothing I could have done to help either of them. So in both cases I just got myself out of the way. No, I didn't watch them. I left. Hovering around them would have been a hindrance to actual help that was already on the way.

In Pittsburgh, I've personally seen two pedestrians laying on the ground soon after being hit by cars, both before any emergency personnel had arrived. I haven't seen any similar incidents in any of the other cities I've lived in. One of the pedestrians was right next to the crosswalk when I saw them. The other was laying in the middle of a busy road, at night, wearing dark clothing. Interpret my anecdotes however you want.

I had a similar experience, but I never needed to go back to the shop after my one shady interaction. I just wrote and signed a letter of complaint, as well as provided some paperwork that supported my story. They were able to discover other cases of foul play after I pointed them in the shop's direction. It was one specific employee rather than the owners/management in my case. I'm sure he got fired and I'm not sorry. I hope I never have a similar experience again though. Even after I knew that guy didn't work there anymore, I never went back.

I just harvested the last of my jalapenos because I wanted to get them before they froze. Now I have a nice stash of jalapenos in my fridge. 🌶️

Reply to Plum cop charged with DUI after found sleeping in running pickup, police say by Aggravating_Foot_528
What happens if a drunk person has the engine on to stay warm, but is sleeping in the passenger seat? Could they still be arrested for a DUI?
