(My friend and I are walking down the street when an old man suddenly collapses in front of us.)
Me: “Sir? Are you all right? SIR?!” *no answer*
Friend: “Call 911!”
Me: “On it.”
(The ambulance arrives in less than five minutes. Sadly, the old man has died. He had a massive heart attack and was probably dead before he hit the ground.)
Me: *suddenly realizing* “Wait a minute. [Friend], don’t you know CPR?”
Friend: *looking shifty* “Yes. Why?”
Me: “Why didn’t you do anything for him?”
Friend: “Because he looked gross. I didn’t want to catch anything. Besides, he was dead already; it wouldn’t have done any good, anyway.”
Me: “…”
(We’re still friends, but I lost a lot of respect for her that day.)
