If you see something, do you say something?

It depends on the situation. If I see someone speeding I’m not going to call highway patrol. I am though bound by professional ethics to report unsafe practices at a construction site.️

 

Maybe maybe no

 

I just called 911 after seeing this thread

 

When I was in 10th grade a kid went to the bathroom and left his Beats headphones on the table (like 200 bucks at the time), another kid came up to us and said "y'all be a lookout I'm gonna grab those Beats"

I responded "No you're not, if you do I'll tell him and the teacher" his jaw dropped and then he threatened to whoop my ass, but in the end he didn't touch me and the kid came back to his desk with his headphones there. In high school, my friends called me Dad and Mr.Moral because I always said no to drugs and yes to vegetables.

 

nope. not bout dat exteovert lyfe. i stay quiet and go home.

 

it doesn't seem to work with Sengunatics, they just keep sengunaticking

 

NOPE!! I do want to stick around and see the ending though!!

I say something. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called 311 or 911 on suspicious activities or drunk and reckless drivers. I’m not taking any chances. If you want to act dangerous, I’m going to treat you like you’re dangerous and let the authorities handle you.

 

This simple flow chart might be helpful

1. Does something need to be said
2. Does it need to be said now
3. Does it need to be said by me

 

I mean, the premise of this thread is so vague that it is impossible to give a line. Are we talking about a child dropping a candy wrapper on the ground, or someone commiting murder? Or something in between? It all depends.

So I'll stick with what I said earlier: maybe maybe no.

 

Im from the cloth of snitches get stitches. So, even if I saw someone steal my car right in front of me, Id go about my day and not say a word to nobody.

 

Generally I don't say anything. Had an incident about 10 years ago where I didn't say anything and should have that still bothers me. I don't know if it would have made a difference, but still bothers me.

 

Technically safety on the construction site isn’t my job and if I spot something unsafe it’s not my job to stop it but to tell the construction supervisor. That said if I saw someone doing something really unsafe like a crane operator about to drop a steel beam on someone would try to stop them.

Construction is inherently dangerous so safety has to be a priority.

 

Depends. Need more detail on the situation.

 

Should have told him to take it to Walmart.
