hmmm. i was just walking along ken. high street w/ a very close friend of mine. we see a homeless guy SITTING in the middle of the road, blocking both the traffic and bus lanes. he is asking for money, with his hand held out. traffic sees him at the last minute, and screeches past him.
so i look at my friend, and ask if i should call the police. he says: "no, don't even bother". i decide to call anyway, b/c the homeless guy is not even 'bumper height', and anyone could miss seeing him, in the dark and rain.
so i get transfered to the police dept, on my cell. i explain the situation. the guy on the phone confirms my cell number, and my name. i explain the situation again. the operator asks if the guy looks injured. i say "NO". he asks again, i say "NO". He asks again, and again, i say, "NO". the operator asks 'why am i laughing'. i say 'b/c you cannot understand what i am saying'. the operator makes a quick goodbye and hangs up on me.
i look at my friend, and he says: "i told you not to bother".
what's wrong here? should i have just left the guy to get flattened by a car??
i am just curious as to why i was treated as a prank call. and furthermore: (for those unfamiliar w/ me), i was probably a mod b/f you started posting here...so only serious replies, and NO flames please!
