I can't believe that people just walked by and never asked if she needed help or alert anybody. Was this some kind of spoof?
Regardless, it demonstrates the level of dissociation from reality and lack of caring for another, that is highly disturbing.
I thought it was more important to care for another, how about you.
As a young child, my mother was walking me to kindergarten when she suffered an epileptic attack. She was lying on the ground unconscious with me standing by her side terrified and crying. People walked around and over her like she was a piece of shit. No one stopped helped us. I had to run across the street and beg the store owner to call a paramedic. This happened in 1968 and I still remember it like it was yesterday and it still hurts.
"Allow me, Miss".
In everyday life, where I actually live, it's customary for me to refer to old ladies using the honorific "Miss" and old guys "Young Man".
A couple of years ago I was walking down Shaftesbury Avenue on a sunny day and I saw a blind women in sunglasses with a labrador about to cross the road into Soho. I asked her if she needed any help. She said, "No no no, I'm not blind. I'm just wearing sunglasses and walking my labrador". LOL.
The cynic in me sez: If the above New York subway event had occurred a few decades ago, the lady in question would most likely have had her bag, earrings, jewellery and gold teeth stolen.
