So I tried to search if there was another post about this but unfortunately every search just showed how fucked up the world is.
So I was at the bus stop the other day and there was a group of younger people like 17-18 maybe. A young man got a phone call.
His part of the conversation was:
" Hello, where are we? In bed at home".... "What Table? I said we are at home in bed???"... "Can you hear me? What Table? What restaurant? We are not in any restaurant. We are at home".... (Now pissed off, confused says sarcastically) "Yeah Yeah, we are waiting for you when we get a table at the restaurant we will call you. Ohhh, listen there Bob talks to the host" .... (Still Sarcasticly) "Yeah yeah, exactly we'll call you when we sit down, Never". And Hangs up.
I immediately told him.
Hey, that was a girl on the other line right? Of course it was.
Well, Hear me out here. This girl she out and about right? Well, Maybe and I say Maybe she is in danger and trusts you enough to ask for your help and your dumb ass is clueless? How about we call her back? Let's assess the situation for a minute.
Of course calmer and kinder like I am talking to a little kid. Cause her safety is more important than me antagonizing this idiot. Also he is young and completely unaware I blame society not him and he has to learn somehow
This idiot Didn't understand me at all. I explained it 2 times till his friend caught on to what I was saying and he got scared and then we both explained it to him another 3 times till he finally got it.
But he ignored me completely, he said he knew who she was with and she was safe. I told him he should check in with her anyway and he ignored me. I kept trying but eventually my bus came and I had to leave cause it was the last one and I couldn't walk home.
But since then I can't stop thinking about what I could have done differently. What happened to this girl, is she okay? Did this boy (who clearly don't deserve the term young man at all) or the other one who deserves it, talked with her after I left? Did the boy get it? will he be better/safer the next time that a girl will trust him?
My Thoughts are:
Maybe I could have acted quickly and before he hung up I could have asked to talk with her?
Maybe I could have insisted he called her back just to make sure?
Or Maybe scare him by telling him that I hope he is 1000% sure about that because he bets her safety on it? (I may actually have said that, now that I think about it).
What are your thoughts?
