Kids, Cars and Miscellaneous: Just checking

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

Today, I saw a young child passed out unattended in a hot car so I smashed the windows to rescue him. After waiting with him for 30 minutes, his mom came out and called the cops on me. I officially have a probation violation and the mom went home free. FML

Today, I left my dog in the car while I quickly ran into a store. I came out to a woman smashing at my window, screaming that it was too hot in the car for the dog and saying I was being inhumane. The car was still running and the air conditioning was on. FML

Today, I left a coffee shop abruptly to go to my car to let out some really bad and loud gas. My window was partly open because it's broken. A stranger was walking on the sidewalk in front of me. He looked terrified. FML

Today, I took a quick nap in my car during my lunch break. I'd set an alarm but forgot to turn my car off, having switched the AC on due to the blistering heat. The cool air lulled me to sleep. When I woke up, my boss was knocking on my window. Apparently, I'd knocked the car into neutral and it had rolled into his parking spot. FML

Today, I walked out to the parking lot and caught a homeless man laying a fat steamer on the hood of my car. FML

Today, I couldn't find my car in a mall parking lot. After 30 minutes of searching, I reported it stolen to the mall security. It turns out that I'd parked it on the opposite side of the mall. Security escorted me to my car, all while giving me pitiful looks. FML

Today, I went to the beach with a friend. We'd forgotten to get our towels out of the SUV, so I rushed back to the parking lot. I opened the passenger-side door and climbed in to begin my search. After ten seconds or so, I realized I'd busted into someone else's car. FML

Today, it was a warm day out so I left my car windows slightly open while I was at work. One of the local bums apparently thought this was a perfect opportunity to use my open driver's side window as a barf receptacle. FML

Today, my car was stolen from my driveway. I reported it to the police, the insurance company, and my neighbors, and begged for help via social media. As I walked to catch a bus, I saw my car parked outside my school. I forgot I left it there last night. FML

Today, while leaving late for work, I walked out to my car only to find the back window broken. Worst part was, I still had to go to work because no one who could cover me showed up. 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".

While it was nice of you to check for potentially dangerous situations, to be fair, you probably looked like you were trying to find a car to steal... can't blame the guy for assuming you were up to no good. These days you can't trust anyone.

like everyone else has said, the intentions were great...but like the other guy said your peering into peoples windows. however the moron above me saying it was a horrible idea and not to police others....let's leave you in a car and weld the doors shut and see how you like it. op is had great intentions unfortunately in the days we live in...this happens

just out of curiosity, what would OP have done if there was a baby in there? taken it out? ok, what about when the parents come back and find their baby missing? where OP's heart was in the right place, in today's society if you go around looking into people's cars they's generally assume the worst that OP is a car thief. its a shame but true

Um...call the police? And if you really think it's in danger, break the window open. But mostly call the police. And even if you take it out you don't just walk off with the baby...you'd try and resuscitate it and stay where you are whilst waiting for the parents and/or police. Is that really not obvious?
