Today, I was on the subway when I felt like I was going to faint. I got off the train at the next stop, walked to a bench, but fell over and passed out. When I woke up, I looked around at at least 25 people, who had stepped around me, passed out, in the middle of the platform. FML

There were 25 people who stepped over you and passed out? You may need to wear less perfume, or something.

That's how the world goes today unfortunately.

The Subway rule: Don't look, don't touch, move on. We are talking about the sandwich shop, right?

(169) Took the words right out of my mouth... There is no hope for humanity >_>

u know in China that even cant call a new,sometime they just leave an old man to death,so

Humanity seems to be going downhill these days...

Like many others have said, it's called the 'Bystander Effect'. People see someone in need, and they go to help them, but when others are watching they feel unsure about it, and the more people there are, the less likely people are to help. Just the other week in the news, a teen got stabbed, but no-one helped, because of it. Bystander Effect is a strange and weird thing, and most of all, it's actually been scientifically proven to be an real effect on society. It's very strange.

They probably thought you were a hobo

i would've assumed you had drunken yourself to that state and would not see a reason to help you

Being passed out on the ground leads people to think you're drunk and could be dangerous. It's not like you were in danger though.
