Ready for a rant ?

This nay not look a very pretty picture and its NOT. These are my burgundy jeans after they were covered in mud and grit when I tripped over a pavement stone and had a really nasty fall. I had just left my Mum in respite for six nights which is my last entitlement for this year. New year starts on first of April. It's a fairly local nursing home and I took her there in a taxi intending to walk home after she was settled. Not long after setting off home I fell really badly. Knee and foot swollen , hands both with grit imbedded and a very sore shoulder where I hit a wall. I was quite shocked and in pain immediately but what really made me feel awful was the fact that a late teenage aged girl in one of Glasgow's top school uniforms was standing a few feet away at a bus stop. She just stood and looked at me and my bags sprawled on the ground while she continued to listen to her music. I just lay there thinking " why doesn't she help me?" Eventually -I don't suppose it was that long to be honest - I got up. At that point the girl wandered over and picked up one of my bags and asked if I was ok. I said yes and hobbled off. It was only afterwards I thought about her lack of response. Where are we as a society when someone ignores a person in trouble? I've got out my car in the past to help someone in passing who looked unwell What makes someone IGNORE someone in trouble?! Her expensive education is clearly not making her a better human being!!! I walked up the road covered in mud... How embarrassing!!!! Luckily a man I sometimes dog walk with passed in his car and brought me home. It was quite a bit out of his way so balance of help restored! I'm having a long hot shower and an early night.
