23 Times People Regret “Doing the Right Thing”

I was walking to the garage through the main lobby of the hospital I work at (I’m a nurse) and saw a woman sprawled across the floor with family around her. I ran over to help and asked “ARE YOU OK?!” That woman sits straight up and starts screaming, “DID SHE JUST ASK ME IF I’M OK!?!” and proceeds to throw punches at me (they all missed) Apparently, she just found out a family member passed away and had fallen to the ground from shock.

I was waiting for bus when I saw a middle aged woman who looked really sad, and was apparently crying. Being the socially awkward person I am, I struggled with myself for a bit because I wanted to help her but I didn’t have the courage to. When I finally managed to ask her, in my kindest tone, if she needed any help she started screaming at me and told me I had to stop bothering her. Turned out she was mentally unstable.

I saved a bird that was stuck in a fence. It was a wooden privacy fence and the bird had managed to get its head stuck in between two boards of the fence. All I had to do was grab the bird and lift it up above the boards. Anyway it pooped on me.

My best friend really liked this girl and he was trying to get her attention so he asked me what to do. I gave him advice, boosted his ego. He was really appreciative of my help, said thanks so many times. Then I didn’t hear from him for months. Then I saw him on the street, I said hi, he ignored me and kept walking. On my final attempt to talk to him (about 7 months later), he told me that he was dating the girl that he asked my advice on. He told me “she really hates you.” I’ve never even met the chick. So this girl told him to never talk to me again if he wanted to date her. He chose her. I haven’t spoken to him in years.
