How dare those arrogant b@$t@rds! What is wrong with them being concerned about their fellow man?! What screwed-up priorities.
Next time, while you are eating your energy bar, have a handful of tacks in the other hand and when they ask, throw the tacks and say, “Who needs help now?!” And laugh maniacally. That will teach them, and you won’t have to wave your phone around. Problem solved.
The nerve of some people.
