yeah, passing on the kindness will make it spread

as more people does it, it becomes more and more normal, and less awkward

just do it feggit

My cousin was walking home from the hospital that day and it was raining.
Some kind soul saw it and offered to share his umbrella.

I usually give my umbrella away to pretty girls

i remembered someone gave away his umbrella before to an old lady

literally gave it to her

then he went to buy another one

raining quite a lot these few days

can go out share and practise already

does anyone else have any more opinions?

received several constructive responses, thanks!

just saw this post

what if u carrying documents, laptop etc?

Anyone else have any replies?

Thanks!

Mostly waterproof bags ftw! Seriously though, it depends on the person. Old peeps yes, younger peeps hell no. They should get their own umbrella I did your survey thing.

Thanks man!

Haha what if the younger person was carrying a lot of stuff? Or maybe injured etc?

It depends on whether I have any way to help. If it's something simple like the situation you've posted above then sure I'd help out. since it's within my ability and if nobody else is around to assist them. Otherwise, even if I passed by someone with a broken down car (I did once in an unfamiliar area ) what the hell am I gonna do? It's kind of selfish but I'm a profit/loss guy and if it results in a loss (of time and energy with no gain for me) then I'd rather not do it at all. Loss in this case means wasted time/effort, and not necessarily material loss. I don't have a problem helping someone in need as long as its legit.

Car Situation:

#1

Me: *walking*
Stranger with broken down car appears
Me: Keleta losak ah?
Stranger: Haah
Me: Wow.
Stranger: You ada no. mechanic?
Me: Nope. Saya pun bukan dari sini.
Stranger: ....
Me: ....
*walks away*

vs

#2
Just keep walking.



Some random old grandpa with lots of heavy stuff walking up/down steep stairs? Sure help (IRL example too). A mak cik with her hands full trying to open a door? No hal. Sure help. Guy with car on fire trying to save his expensive ammoshaf? Kick/drag his bontot away but that's all. I ain't dying for you Plus, Malaysia is very dangerous nowadays. You gotta be extra careful that you're not being conned or hustled by criminals looking for an easy target like that family with a "moto rosak" looking for "help" in Selangor somewhere I think. Whoops this rant has gone too far off topic so I'll stop now

Woah.

But it's true la, usually before helping others, must help yourself

No point causing more trouble
