Would you feel comfortable continuing to date/befriend someone who thought this was a fun idea?

Question

They went out with their friends then literally let down the car window, yelled at a supposed homeless person who was riding on their bike, continuously called that person a crackhead, and threatened to get out of the car and steal the supposed homeless person’s bicycle…

Hell no, that's seriously messed up behavior on their part. Threatening and harassing a homeless person like that ain't cool at all. Calling them names and acting like that just shows a real lack of empathy and maturity.

Even if the guy was on drugs or something, that doesn't make it okay to disrespect them like that. They're still a human being, y'know? And it's just an assumption - the guy could've been tired or having a bad day for all they knew.

The fact that they found it funny is a real red flag too. That kind of mean spirited behavior is not someone I'd feel comfortable hanging around. Doing coke and pot sometimes is one thing, but being cruel to other people who are down on their luck is another level of messed up.

I'd be seriously questioning whether I wanted to continue the friendship after seeing that side of them. Someone who gets kicks out of putting others down like that is not the kind of person I wanna associate with. There's enough negativity in the world without adding to it as it is, you feel me? I'd be reconsidering if their values lined up with mine.

That's just their weakness which they try to reflect upon others by putting them down so that they can feel good.  It's completely stupid and wrong.  Sorry if it was harsh.

I don't hang out with druggies because of my clearance. I don't hang out with people that drive around and yell at homeless people because I have hobbies.

Reel crackheads are often violent and bad persons themselves because most of them will do anything to get money to support their addiction. Crack users are from all drug addicts the worst I know out of experience being used to hang around them. I have seen them cutting open random people with a knife to rob them of of €20,- (15$)

That being said... There are also a few cracks users who don't become vicious individueles and some if them might be good human beings as well. Depends on the person if drugs will change their behaviour because it is and always will be your own choice wether you become evil or not.

But to answer your question... I wouldn't date or befriend such losers ever! Picking on weak people for fun or to gain money for yourself is never justified unless you have to protect yourself from them.

A strong minded individual understands that we all have our own weakness's and they won't harm or judge others for theirs. They would try help those persons instead of taking them further down. I personally don't wanne around such losers 🤷‍♂️
Maybe that is because I understand the struggles of being addicted and understand what life on the streets being póor and homeless is. They suffer more out there then most people can handle living in a warm and dry environment. Being out there in the elements is hardcore survivaling.

electromagnetic · Answer

I do not judge homeless people or people who use drugs as I do not know the circumstances that lead to their demise. It could have easily been me or anyone else I’m with. I can say sometimes my partner does crack a joke when we take public transit about crackheads bringing in their carts onto the train but nothing like what you’re describing. If my partner ever got out of line like that, I’m not afraid to let him know that I refuse to entertain and we will have issues if he continues.

RavVid · Answer

Uncalled for and unnecessary. I don't like people who abuse other drivers also.

If people are like that are showing you their character; eventually they'll do it too you. They just haven't got round to it is all. The big one for me is a person who steals a candy bar or some low value item.

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

aceleon · Answer

They are idiots not even a jerkish way they are Just plain empty in the head and has nothing better to do with their time to be honest i would punch them in the face if i was hanging out with them they deserve nothing better than a beating.

4ngelic · Answer

do some guys your age still do stuff like that or is he younger? cos that sounds like something a douchy 16yo would do. and yea no if someone does that beyond high school they're a psychopath no thanks

TrueConfection · Answer

I can't even envision being in a vehicle with someone doing such a thing. I'd want to be let out of the car and I'd never associate with them again. I'd also do some serious self reflection wondering how I ended up in their company.

RoseySarah · Answer

Ended friendships over less!

My friends friend was a drug addict of pain meds. Told them never be high around me or my sister and next time they were high.

Never again talked with them. Some people are just crazy 🤣

Tom321G · Answer

I think that's horrible behavior, but I suppose I'd want to know the age of the person before making a judgment. Someone young might be trying to impress friends with something incredibly stupid or might be under the influence of some especially terrible parents, so I'd want to withold judgement to see if the person could be enlightened. However, if they failed to see the light, that would be it for me. Done.

Fabiloso · Answer

I'd drop them off in the middle of nowhere, take his phone and money, car, weed, crack and just keep it until he gets back after a few weeks of survival.

TheorionMage · Answer

Peers judge you by the company you keep... the FIRST time is by accident,  thereafter its a conscious CHOICE!

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

No way. I’d stop the car and tell him to “Get out and never come close to me again, until he learns how to treat and respect to people.”

Pink2000 · Answer

Absolutely not. I’d most definitely cuss them out before I cut them off. That’s disrespectful and I wouldn’t want to even associate with someone who thinks it’s fun to do that.

iron_ninjs · Answer

I'd never hang out with a person like that, in the first place.  But if I did, hypothetically, I'd try to correct their behavior. If it doesn't work, bye bye.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

If someone acts like a shitbag to someone else, unless provoked, I don't want to affiliate with them. Man or woman.

spartan55 · Answer

I don't associate with people who would something so cruel. Their moral compass is way too different.

AviatorTom · Answer

I would correct them, and depending on their reaction, might stay friends or might dump them. That's not one of the choices in the poll.

exitseven · Answer

I picked the first option but only after readijng the update.  What are you doing hanging out with a bunch of lowlifes anyway?

coachTanthony · Answer

No that is too immature for me. Life is too short for that nonsense.

nawtee_me · Answer

No matter if he is homeless or not they thought he was and did those thing assuming he was. Clearly karma needs to pay them a visit except I would not wish that in anyone.

TallAnon · Answer

It depends how long I've known them. If I met them recently I would stop talking to them. If we've been friends for a while, I'll tell them to stop and reflect.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Only somebody just as sociopathic would find that funny or enjoyable... And that's is not what I am..

DJB72 · Answer

I'd get out of the car and go hang out with the guy on the bike.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

No, I think people who make fun of homeless people are the scum of the earth. Anyone can end up homeless and it isn't always their fault

loveslongnails · Answer

I can't imagine ever being friends with people who'd do that in the first place.

Jerre · Answer

I don’t think the statement was necessary at all. I don’t hang around with people who make those absurd statements

DummyThiccFeraligatr · Answer

Desii, girl, who are you hangin' around? lol.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I would get out of the car right then and there. If they tried taking his bike, I'd beat their asses

Jamie05rhs · Answer

They sound like they are not a good person. Or not kind, at least.

Agape93 · Answer

Nope, I'd deck them in the jaw for that.

collie22 · Answer

Blueeyes81 · Answer

No. That's some next level douchery.
