Just checking

By whytoday - 21/05/2012 14:59

Today, I read an article on babies dying after being accidentally left in cars in the sun. On my lunch break, I decided to walk around the parking lot, checking to see that no kids were abandoned in cars. A guy gave me a smack for looking through his car window. FML

It you SEE a baby in a car, call the police. Do not actively go in search of it. You are not a super hero, just annoying. I've read that people trapped in a fire can die; I do not go around looking for fires I can rescue people from. There are people who actually do that for a living. They are called "professionals".

Okay yes, good intentions on the op's part blah blah blah. Nonetheless; still strange.

Yeah sounds reasonable to me. Keep your head out my window bitch.

Show it anyway

...not so much. But reading an article on misplaced babies and then trying to find some on your lunch break? haha come on. I don't think that's exactly "community service"

I would think that if parents became for responsible, these kind of accindents would occur less.

It does not make me feel comforted or like someone is 'helping the community' by peeking in my car window. It makes me feel like they're trying to see if I left my purse... or my GPS... or oh look at that nice sound system in the brand new car! There are other more logical ways to help. Plus, I can see this person's next FML. 'Today I broke into someone's car to save the baby who was sitting inside from dying from overheating. The mother was 2 feet away and now I'm facing charges. FML.'

Or just peoples right to not have others looking into their property like that... The idiot deserves it for not only being stupid enough to do what they did but then following up on FML acting like the victim.

One thing is right about 48's comment though, even superheroes aren't stupid enough to go around randomly looking in everyones property trying to find someone doing the wrong thing, they only followed up on things they actually witnessed or knew about.

If you wanna meet a new friend... Do the creep!!

Kiss him. It will confuse him! "I hate you!" "I'm gonna kill you!" "I'm gonna eat you!" "I'm gonna marry you!" *at the alter* "You win this time..."

None of your business, not at all. You deserve at least a smack! You worry about yourself and leave others to mind their own business; especially their children. I would have smacked you too. It's not your job nor right to police others.

Well, ok. If i see a baby inside a car during a hot summer day, i'll let it die. Thanks for the advise./sarcasm

You're right, I think since I've heard a lot about robberies in my area I'm going to search everyone for weapons that I come across. What? You think this is not acceptable behaviour?! FINE. IF I SEE ANY ROBBERIES TAKING PLACE I'M GOING TO JUST KEEP WALKING AND NOT CALL THE POLICE OR TRY TO ASSIST. ...Or does that just sound as ******* stupid and childish to everyone else as it does to me?

Sooooo what you guys are telling us is that you'd rather let your baby die instead of someone saving him/her..

It's not like the guy knew he was looking for babies... It probably looked like he was looking for something to steal...

How many people would seriously take their babies to work?

Why jump to extremes? Of course no one WANTS their baby to die; everyone is simply stating that OP probably looked suspicious. If you saw someone peering into your car, would you think "Oh, that nice citizen is just checking to make sure everything is alright"? No. You would wonder why the hell someone is creeping on your car.

60, My baby isn't trapped in my car. Your point is therefore invalid.

I read an article that said smoking cigarettes can cause cancer...oh crap, I hope you aren't reading this because next lunch break you get you will probably get smacked for sharing this onfptmation to a really mad smoker.

And you thought this was a good idea??

How could that possibly upset anyone? UNLESS they have something to hide. Hmm.....interesting.

It looks like you're going to break into their car. It's also pretty much the same as looking into someone's house. Would you want someone looking through your window?

Only if I was naked and rubbing myself up against the glass...but I expect you to at least drop a gold coin into the donation box at the door.
