-- Posted by ElephantStone at 12:52 pm on July 28, 2008 In the Underground today, I was walking behind an Indian woman with a push trolley with a kid in it and her daughter, aged around 6. When they got to the escalator, the woman stepped on first with the trolley, but the daughter didn't, and I was behind the daughter... ...the girl was scared for some reason, and the mother was shouting down to jump on, and the mother was getting worried. I just stood there and didn't fill the growing gap, now rather large between the mother and the daughter. It was busy in that station and a large queue was behind me. For some reason I just stepped on abandoning the girl... ...she then jumped on after me and ran up to her mother. Its at times like those I wish I was th person I want to be. When that girl hesitated in a busy station and by the second time the mother shouted I should of picked her up and put her on the escalator...instead of just standing there and then leaving her, letting the crowd behind me follow on..... -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 12:53 pm on July 28, 2008 Be a hero -- Posted by newman at 12:53 pm on July 28, 2008 Awwwwwwwww -- Posted by Natsy at 12:54 pm on July 28, 2008 should have, but then the kid might have started screaming or something... -- Posted by tennisplayerV2 at 12:55 pm on July 28, 2008 ya...but its cool...one time i was in a scary house or what ever...and i wanted to get out so i pushed this little girl out of the way. -- Posted by AnnaMinator at 12:55 pm on July 28, 2008 yah ......thats what you should have done -- Posted by Amazingness99 at 12:55 pm on July 28, 2008 Aw, don't worry about it. Just because you hesitate to do something like that doesn't mean you're a bad person. Also, the world is pretty different now and it might be taken the wrong way if you pick up a random girl, even if only to help. Sad but true. -- Posted by ElephantStone at 1:01 pm on July 28, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 8:55 pm on July 28, 2008 Aw, don't worry about it.

Sad but true. well yeah thats what I thought...I mean I held back the crowd, so there wasnt a load of people between the mother and the girl....but I stepped on...the mother smiled at me though, when the daughter reached her.
