After Thad’s death, why does every man served to Kelsey as a love interest directly after look exactly like him? Is that intentional? Or do the writers just have a very narrow view of what’s attractive?
ETA: not referring so Zane. But the other few she meets in quick succession in S3 following Thad
FINAL EDIT: thanks for the comments, that was fun. I’ve had enough people share my sentiment that I feel confident in it. Before you make a conclusion, please read all the edits below because a lot of people are making assumptions that just aren’t true. But that’s Reddit I guess! Have fun in the comments, I won’t be replying to anymore.
Today while we were driving through town, we pulled up next to a car at a stop. Two children in the back seat UNBELTED. Two parents up front. This is not the first time I have seen this in recent years.
My husband drives a pickup, and the other vehicle was a sedan. Windows in the back were rolled down so I was able to get a good look and actually see (and snap a pic) of the carseat harness flopping over the sides. Both children were fully turning around in their seats while the car was in motion.
I called the police to report, and gave descriptions and the license plate. The police said they would do a “general broadcast,” and find the people at their residence via license plate to talk to them. They seemed to take my call seriously.
My husband, on the other hand, immediately began telling me not to call the police when I first saw the kids unbelted. He is severely non-confrontational. My comfort with confrontation has always made him squirm. He thinks I should mind my own business or leave it up to chance that they get caught and fined. It wasn’t until I raised my voice and said “I feel responsible to stand up for the safety of children!” At that he quieted, conceded, and apologized saying that I was right and it was good that I wanted to call instead of just being a bystander (we have an 18 month old, so I think this made him understand).
Now, while part of me feel I did the right thing, another small part of me is doubting. I have called the police to report things in our community before that I find concerning (people openly smoking a bong in a public park, teens shooting BB guns behind our house at night that I could not differentiate from a real gun in the darkness, drug use on our private property at work, homeless men in our parking lot also at work while I’m the only one in office and need to walk out to my car alone as a petite woman, a man openly standing in public with his hands down his pants m****ting while wearing a ski mask), while some people probably never call to report anything. A small nagging part of me feels like maybe I’m a Karen or a tattle tale or the police will get sick of me.
AIO? Should I have just minded my own business? Or did I do the right thing?
ETA: the children in the vehicle appeared to be between the ages of 2-5 yo. Not teens who are refusing the be belted - literally babies that trust their parents to keep them safe.
ETA: we did try to get their attention prior to calling, my husband’s suggestion, but we couldn’t.
ETA: I did not call 911 emergency!! I never have. Always non-emergency communication line.
ETA: I live in Canada, and I am brown. Not race related.
ETA: To clear up the homeless in our parking lot, I wasn’t calling to get them in trouble! We just ask them kindly to leave the property. Our parking lot it between several buildings, and in the evening I do not feel comfortable walking to my car alone. We have community police who patrol on bikes, who get to know the homeless in our area and build relationships. They come around and just ask them to move along, or just hang out in the parking lot and chat to them while I walk to my vehicle. And calling about drug use on our property is something I do when they are right on our front steps blocking our doorway which the public of all demographics, including kids and youth, come through - again I don’t always feel comfortable asking myself. They are just asked to move along, not apprehended. Or we call ambulance if someone appears to be passed out, tweaking terribly, etc. It’s not to get them in trouble, it’s for safety.
