Is this ok?
 

So an old lady lives in my building and we have to share the laundry room. She always throw's my [censored] on the floor when its still in the dryer and she needs to use it and whenever I say good morning or hello to her she acts like I am not there.

This morning while watching the Yankees Tigers game I hear a bump and a small cry, the old lady had fallen outside of my apartment on the way to the laundry and could not get up.

I jumped up with the intention to help but then rembembered all the times she had been mean to me and decided just to watch her struggle for 15 minutes or so until help arrived.

I don't feel bad but when i told my gf she thought it was a dick move and that old people have the right to be dicks and blah blah blah.

Iam kinda happy she's in the hospital for a few days and i won't have to deal with her rudeness.

Sorry about my spelling!

i wouldve helped her. ur a douchebag.

Re: Is this ok?
 

I'd do the same thing.

Re: Is this ok?
 

The rule is "Do unto other as you would have them do unto you,", NOT "Do unto others as they do unto you." Keep in mind I don't hold anything against you, but you're pretty morally bankrupt.

Re: Is this ok?
 

dude, shes old, what does she have to be happy about. it sounds like she lives by herself, and is old, and just waiting to die. i dont think id be jumping for joy if i was in her shoes.....you should have helped her out

Whats wrong with this? Also i think being ' morally bankrupt ' is not a bad thing.

So i should help because its the right thing to do? Who says?

Who's making these rules anyway?

What's wrong with helping?

I didn't say being morally bankrupt was a bad thing, just stating that not helping reeks of a lack of moraity.

Yes.

Nobody.

The saying is called "the golden rule".

Hey, like I said I ain't holding nothing against the OP. It depends entirely on what is important to you, and what your priorities are, and what you want out of life. But if compassion and humanity are anywhere in that mix, then helping is the right thing to do.

Re: Is this ok?
 

Good points, but if i help i am only doing it so i can tell others that i did a good deed for the day and helped an old lady. Not because i wanted to.

Re: Is this ok?
 

If you have to ask if this is okay, then you are not okay.

Re: Is this ok?
 

Again, any hint of compassion seems to be lacking. Even if you helped it would only be for your personal gain. I reassert my claim of moral bankruptcy.

You're a douchebag. She's a douchebag too, but you're a bigger one.

I hope you need help someday and someone doesn't feel like helping you.

Re: Is this ok?
 

I live in an apartment with shared laundry facilities and I *HATE* when people leave their clothes in the dryer. Are you one of those people who think it's okay to leave them in there for hours after the cycle is done? If so, you deserve to have them thrown on the floor. I usually get mine out of the dryer within minutes of the cycle finishing because I *gasp* set a timer to let me know when they're finished.

Also, you are a major douche for not helping an elderly lady that has been injured. You're happy that she's in the hospital? My god man, grow up a little bit.

Re: Is this ok?
 

growning up has little to do with it and no she throws the stuff out regardless.

Re: Is this ok?
 

I don't help 'cause I don't wanna touch an old lady. Eww

Re: Is this ok?
 

reedy and mr blonde, learn to get some [censored] respect

Re: Is this ok?
 

OP,

No, incredibly vague subject lines that give us no hint as to what the hell the topic is are NOT OK.

Re: Is this ok?
 

she sucks for taking your stuff and putting on the floor. At least put it on top of the dryer, so they don't get dirty. You're a douchebag for 1) having your clothes in the dryer after it's done and 2) obvious no-concern for general well being of a stranger.

Both of you suck. Hope your apartment complex burns.

Re: Is this ok?
 

The truly morally bankrupt/evil move here would have been to take her laundry and dump it on her while she can't get up, and then laugh at her. Just not helping her is only morally deficient.

you're a dick. if you had helped her, she'd likely be grateful, and I highly doubt she would have continued to be rude to you. if even after helping her she was still a bitch, then f her, but don't leave an old lady to die on the floor of an apartment building because she touched your underwear when it was still in the drier.

why do obvious troll posts get so many legit responses?

Re: Is this ok?
 

i cant believe so many people think that the OP is a jerk, etc. OP did exactly the right thing. it always surprises me how people are so willing to just be treated like garbage and then do things to help people who they deservedly hate to fulfill some perceived obligation of moral righteousness. what a joke. way to keep it real, OP.

Because the need to call someone a douche is often > common sense in OOT. Or if their subject line sucks balls.

Re: Is this ok?
 

Though I don't agree with the actions of OP, and think he is probably KKF, I did think the post was funny.

Re: Is this ok?
 

If she's Jewish, don't help her.

Re: Is this ok?
 

You should have gone out in the hallway to explain to her why you were not helping her and then gone back inside.

Re: Is this ok?
 

Man, someone beat me to it. I was going to suggest that you open the door, take her laundry and throw it all in the floor. Then point and laugh at her and say "if you weren't such a piece of trash I would help you. Since you live your life in an attempt to make everyone else miserable I refuse to help you up. You should've bought one of those 'I've fallen and can't get up' devices and someone would be here shortly. Either that, or next time fall infront of someone's door that actually cares about you". Then kicked her in the ribs one time for good measure.










Actually, you're a jerk and things have a tendancy to come back 10 fold. You will probably end up in a simliar situation where you are struggling and need help and someone will be watching you thinking "if that guy wasn't a prick, I'd help him". Good luck to you, tell Satan hi

I thought this was stupid, until I saw your account name. Then I loled.

Just help her and feel good about being a bigger person.

Re: Is this ok?
 

Steal her hoverround and see the world.

Re: Is this ok?
 

I will just state that this is NOT OK

WRONG things do not come back on people, life is made up of random events which you have little or no control over.

As a poker player you of all people should understand this.

O RLY? lol

Re: Is this ok?
 

I did the same thing as a young kid except I had no relation to the old woman. I immediately got changed and ready to run across the street to help her up, but for some reason I got scared or something and didn't. No one was home, and I just peeked out the window for about 10 minutes until someone else came along. I'm not sure why I was so scared but I have felt bad ever since.
