A pushover
I was walking to the carpark after work last night and right in front of me a bloke gave a woman walking in front of her a really hard shove. She fell over and her bag came open and loads of things fell out.I've no idea if the two people concerned knew each other, the bloke was a bit scrotey looking, traccie bottoms t-shirt and baseball cap and the woman was dressed in black trousers and a cream jacket. The scrote didn't say anything to her when he pushed her and just carried on walking. The woman didn't say anything - perhaps she was shocked.
Quite a few people rushed to help the woman and gathered up her possesions, I set off after the scrote. He walked round the corner and I walked after him. Then I thought: "What do I do now??"
I was a bit wary, if he'd shoved a random woman, or someone he knew, then he is already a bit of a nobber. I'm only short and slighty built, he could easily shove me over or worse. So I turned away and walked back. It bothered me all the way home that I didn't do anything. But what could I do?? Would he see the errors of his ways? Or would he hurt me?? Should you offer to be hurt in defence of a stranger??
I still feel a bit strange about it all. What would I have done if I'd been the random person he pushed over. I probably would have cried.
