no, i don't walk by people lying in the street.
if someone is slumped in a chair at a night club, i check that they are ok [i.e. breathing, if unconscious].
i stand by on the other side of the street, watching the stupid idiot shout at the traffic warden for five minutes because she gave his illegally parked car a ticket, getting ready when she takes her glasses off because she [of sixty years of age] thinks that, in her experience, his threatening manner may turn to violence. [at the time, i had hoped that he _would_ hit her, because it would give me an opportunity to jump on his head, repeatedly].
i say "hi" to people at King's Cross Station (London), and the speed with which their heads snap-centre and eyes-down amuses me, greatly [whilst in glasgi' (Scotland), people say "hi" to me 'n me bros' and we are all over 6ft with big grins on our faces].
i empathise with other people to the extent that i have to get the XXXX away from the world for sometimes days or weeks at a time.
i do not watch t.v., it catches my attention in a luring, insistent manner, and then disturbs me greatly [i heard that there is a physiological basis for this], especially adverts, at which i swear and shout and switch the bloody thing off, which irritates other people who may actually have been watching it.
i tolerate fools because they teach me a lot: usually that i am the fool.
i do not tolerate greedy or arrogant people, they tend to be self-centred and leave a lot of damage in their wake. as long as they do not cross my path, however, they can do what they like: it is not my concern.
