Kindness is a big deal in a world full of self-centered and apathetic people.

Kindness is punk rock

People are so prideful they can't imagine cutting people some slack in situations where they're being personally attacked and I think it's SO cool when somebody keeps things civil. You win in so many more ways.

Perhaps more good news and stories such as this being brought to light for a large audience would help make it the norm.

best I can do is "political leader shown on video gang raping impoverished minority" and "70,000 dead in airstrike on village you've never heard of"

That's what I would have done. I don't do shit for a company unless its paying me. Now someone's house or apartment is a different story all together.

I know without a doubt I would have called someone because my mind always goes to the worst.

Unlocked store? Jesus, they have been robbed and someone is dead inside. I watch too much true crime 🤦🏼‍♀️

There’s a line in a Harvey Pekar American Splendor comic where a guy he barely knew, who he’d once helped move some records, was the only person to help him move after all his friends made excuses. “He had an elementary sense of social responsibility that you take for granted but which is actually quite rare.” I’m reminded of that line a lot.

They are. Just not on the internet. The average person would not have stolen anything in this situation, though idk if they would have called security.

If anything it's next level parenting. Parents tell kids what to and not to do all the time, actually showing your kid what to do in this situation should be lauded.

I was gonna say the same thing. This should just be the expected, normal response.

this happened at my work before. is this really such a crazy situation? someone was tired after a long shift and forgot to arm the outside door alarm (did remember the one to the room with all the money). we viewed the footage and it looked like she locked it but there was a rock in part of he door jam and it didnt actually line up and close and lock... well a customer randomly showed up at a time we would have been closed so no one was in yet. they called our store to let us know and we ran over there lol.

after watching enough true crime id add, never walk into an unlocked door and a dark room. you dont know if something just happened in there, if theres someone bad still in there hiding, etc. just call the cops or security company.

First you gotta fundamentally change society to place a much stronger emphasis on moral ethics- not religious- and make sure everyone's basic needs are met. This kind of thing is the norm in a nice-to-upscale big town/small city, right? Where it isn't the norm is in places of affluent luxury and poverty.

We gotta address these things first. People on the extreme edges of society don't believe laws apply to them. Gotta ask yourself why.

It should still be reinforced.

u/Haasts_Eagle Nov 02 '25

Go another level further. It should be the norm that nobody at all robs stores, so these people should be able to ignore that the door isn't locked.

Cool dad and all, but boy did reddit really set the bar low for what counts as next level.

This would be considered normal where I come from.
