If you heard someone crying in a parking lot, would you stop to help

yeah i would stop and ask if they needed help, and if she was with a guy i would call the cops and let them know and check on her

I would have left her alone. Since she was on her cell phone crying, literally she was not alone, she was in fact talking to someone. It was probably a personal matter, and she was in her car so that she could be alone. Now, if she was just sitting in her car crying and not on a phone, I may have asked her if there was a problem I could help her with.

If I heard someone crying in the parking lot I would stop.I would ask first if what happen to her and why she was crying?

If I am in that kind of situation,I think I would just ignore the woman,because in my country,there are people try to attract another's attention then they will rob them. I don't dare to even bother this kind of incident,because anytime I will put myself in danger.

She was obviously crying over a personal issue if she was on the phone. Where I'm from that's something you leave alone because its not your business. I'm sure if she needed immediate help and her life was in danger she would have said something.

[b][/b]i will do the same thing you did, coz if i'm on that woman's shoes, i will feel consoled that someone showed some concern on me, even if he does'nt know me..

I would have done the same thing although I'd be rather skeptical if it was after dark and I was alone. Not that I wouldn't want to help but we live in a big city and crime has picked up since so many have lost jobs. I'd have some concern it was a set up of some sort.

i have heard so many things about safety in parking areas. i think i will not stop and help someone even if it is legitimate. at least not in that type of circumstance. it is just too risky...

i would stop but i would not immediately just approach the person and ask if she is okay. i would wait for a while if see if the person needs my help. if i think that i would need to approach the person to give some help i would try to have the courage to do so. if i can't just do it myself i would just tell some people who i can think can help the person to ask what is going on. but it is not easy to approach the person to offer help.

Some people do not appreciate it when you ask about them when they are emotionally unstable..... she was probably having personal problems in her life... i know.. if i was having problems.... i would like to be left alone... instead of strangers bothering me...

I guess it would depend on if it was a guy or a girl. I probably would not stop for a guy. If the person was alone I would probably stop to see if I could help. I think the only problem that I would have is feeling very intrusive.

Human cries always evoke my curiosity. I would run to the direction of the cries and check what the crying is all about. I do this on humanitarian grounds as that person might be in great danger and needs help.

I would at least do what you did. I jsut would feel terrible if I didn't at least ask if they where ok. I did do something one time that I felt good about that was similar. I pulled up to a gas station and saw the hood of my x's car up. Then I saw the guy that shut it wasn't my X. The person had something in there hand. I got out of my car walekd up and said what the **** are you doing with my car? The guy was shocked and all he said was I was just going to use this and put it back. I said yea right and grabbed it. I went into my x's work and showed him and told him. He later told me it was a cable that helped start the car and it wouldn't have started without it. And said I can't believe you did that for me. I know it was my X but it still made me feel good.

Mostly,I won't stop to help because there are so many cheats around us.But I still will judge to find if I should help him sometimes,especially for children and old people.

By nature I'm a pretty "softie" of a person. I think I would have done the same thing you did. For all you know she could have been mugged in the parking lot and waas calling for help in which case I would have definately stayed with her if she want me to until help arrived. You also never know if someone was having a medical crisis and would need help, so I think what you did was a really caring thing for a person to do. I don't think I could walk by someone like that no matter if I knew them or not and not be able to make sure she was alright. I think you did a really nice thing and it's nice to know there are still people that are still out there who would stop and help a stranger who was in distress. So many times these days people don't seem concerned about other people and will just walk by without giving it a second thought. Godd for you for doing that.

YEs my friend it my moral duty to stop and help the person who ever crying.I can not see a person crying.love thy Peoples as thyself

That's a good question. If it were me, seeing that she's on a cellphone, I'd probably just let her be. If she's in trouble, she has her phone to call for help, and that might be exactly what she was doing. It could have also been a personal issue. Perhaps her boyfriend was breaking up with her. It's not really our business to interfere with that. But it all depends on the situation. If she looked like she was in a panic, and I couldn't see a cellphone, I might stop to ask if she needed help.

Hello venshida! What you did is just right. If it will happen to me, I will do the same thing you did. I mean I want to know if the girl needs my help by asking her. Probably, because she's holding her phone, it might be love problem or family problem.

Of course I do! because I want to know what happened to s/he,and what can I do for s/he.If he have some difficulty,I Will help s/he immediately. also,I believe everyone will do such a thing indubitability.because we alwaye have mercy on the person who need help!!
