should i have apologized?

[FILTHYANGELS]

[Monse]

Your fault or not, you should have, it's a little kid.... Jesus

[DontStopBelieving]

why the fuck wouldn't you? whether it was your fault or not. what'd you do just ride away?

[johnny reggae]

@ big_8:at his cousin's wedding :)

[Danibyrd]

yes. Is the child ok?

[socalsk1nhead]

Completely should have apologized and made sure the kid was ok. Felt guilty? Maybe a tad but it's not your fault that the kid was running around. Now if it was in the middle of the street, then I would say not your fault. If it was in between lunch tables on the back patio, then totally your fault.

Whether or not it was your fault though, that doesn't mean you can't be a human being and apologize for hitting a toddler with your bike.

[johnny reggae]

of course
when i was 13 i had one of those

i was standing at the back .a friend of mine was riding and suddenly a kid popped between two parked cars
we crashed:) a fell on my chest and was unable to take a breath for more than a minute
i was the only one hurt

[TACO!]

hahaha.

[FILTHYANGELS]

yeah, the kids fine, , i thought about saying it till one of the chicks started saying shit under her breath.it was the 4th time i passed by, and they are all just standing there watching me come up the path then the guy sticks his foot out in front of me instead of stopping the kid, i swerved and CRASH! after wiping out on cement and making sure he was fine, i kinda limped away all bloody legged.. ugly looks wont make me sorry when it was an accident.

[charcoal]

The fact that it was an accident should have made you sorry. Who apologizes for something they do intentionally?

On top of that, who wouldn't say sorry to a child? That only thing that kid knows is that you ran him over. Some kids don't understand mistakes at the age of two, but be certain that he's got a hold on the concept of pain and bad people. Showing that you care enough to look after him and even saying those two seemingly trivial words make a big difference in how he sees the world.

[MazelTovCocktail]

are you fucking kidding me? you apologize to the TWO YEAR OLD, and then say something to the fucking parents..jesus christ, what is wrong with you?

[FILTHYANGELS]

but...for the record, i did FEEL BAD ... i suppose i should have, but in the moment of being kinda pissed (and scatterbrained from the fall)at the situation i didn't wanna stick around. hopefully it wasn't something he will remember. it all happened within about 2 min or less.

No, never say sorry to anyone.

I hope the little rug rat didn't fuck up your bike.

[TheKid]

you apologize to cover your ass at least that way you don't seem like a cold hearted bastard if any of the irresponsible adults tries saying it was your fault to the authorities.

[_Aexp]

you're lucky you didn't get fucked up yo. you run over my kid accident or not, as an adult I expect you to apologize.
my 2 cents

[GrottyWanker]

Say sorry to the lil kid. Kick his parents ass for being fucking stupid. Thats what i hate about where I live people don't pay any fucking attention to their kids.

[brandonbrownish]

yeah i think you should've

[DIYWMD]

What advice do you expect? "Oh man you shoulda popped a wheelie and screamed 'i meant to do it'.." Seriously. Troll thread!

Some years ago I was going into a diner and the door closed behind me.(one of those doors that closes automatically) It was winter and pretty cold outside so I didn't look behind me when letting go of the door since I just wanted to get inside quickly. Then when standing at the counter a guy walks past me and says something like "How nice of you to slam the door in my daughter's face"... He had a like 5 y.o. girl with him. I didn't apologize... and I don't think I should. He should look after his daughter and she should be old enough to be able to know not to headbutt a closing door.

[Delboy]

why the fuck wouldn't you? whether it was your fault or not. what'd you do just ride away?

Into the sun set.

[Swagger]

Wouldn't apologising to the child and then telling off the parents for not supervising be the right thing to do?

[peteparilla]

you can't blame a 2 year old for being a 2 year old...i would make sure the kid is ok an commend the parents on doing a wonderful job...at this rate he might make it to 3..it lets them know they fucked up..

[RuneT]

Into the sun set.

This started playing in my head when i read that.

[MammaLysha]

Next time, run over the idiot's foot and spare the kid.

Also, of course you apologize for running over a child. Until you're a parent of a mischievous toddler, you won't understand their cunning ability to escape your attention. Whether or not the parents could have done something different (and I'm sure they could have), you still apologize for hitting a child.

try not to hit any toddlers this time.

[Ruby Doe]

No shit. Were you riding on the sidewalk? Cause if you were, you're a fucking tard.

[FILTHYANGELS]

in a city park, your suppose to ride on the sidewalk.....

[Monse]

in a city park, your suppose to ride on the sidewalk.....

ANYWAY woman, it was a little boy, I mean dammit!! 2 fucking years old!

Jesus......

[MAMASKIN]

It all depends on the situation. I never let my 2 year old run around where people were riding bikes or a car was moving. I would check to make sure the kid is ok and then I'd let the parents have it.

[DIYWMD]

How about stopping, getting off your bike and walking it past dogs, children and other sentient-but-stupid life forms.

[DIYWMD]

then you wouldnt have to apologize for being a shit for brains

[Vervonymous]

Haha, he stuck his leg out instead of stopping you? Were these people drunk?

A kid could get seriously fucked up this way. It is odd they didn't do anything to stop the kid when everone knows children behave like stupid drunks all the time.

[FILTHYANGELS]

wow , i passed a kid today and started thinking about what i did the other day, and the kid got distracted by looking at me, tripped and completely ate the dirt. completely not my fault this time...
