People are weird, s'all I can say. As I was pulling out of the parking lot at Safeway, I noticed a guy slumped over the curb. Didn't see anyone around, so I pulled over into a spot, got out, shook his shoulder, put my hand on his ribs to see if he was breathing -- which I'm not terribly certain he was -- and popped open my cell phone to call 911. Even as I did so, I heard sirens in the distance. And indeed they eventually revealed themselves to be coming for the guy (after several wrong turns.) Which meant someone had taken the effort to call 911, which considering that I was still on hold by the time the ambulance located us in the parking lot, took considerably persistence... but wasn't willing to actually get out of their car and check the guy.
Not that I did anything exciting, apart from checking his breathing and making sure he hadn't thrown up, and flagging down a couple of drivebys to go tell the ambulance across the parking lot where to go, but... just, weird.
