Push play Options

[LoveToMySilas]

Hypothetically (and randomly) speaking, you're about to cross the street of a very average but fast paced street. (You would reach the sidewalk with a walking distance of 6 feet.) One of your friends are ahead of you, reading, texting on their sidekick, on the phone, whatever it may be and does not seem to see the car that is zooming towards their direction. Are you more comfortable running up and pushing them out of the way? Knowing that if you aren't quick enough, you could get caught in there yourself? Running up and pulling them back, knowing that if you don't pull them quick enough, one of their arms could be ripped off? Or would you just stand there in shock or like the jerk you are? Let's say they were in the middle of the street, an equal distance from both sides (for those of you who like to say "which ever side they're closer to.)

Just a random thought I had while I was waiting for the light to change and watching a group of jay walkers.

My reaction would be to pull them, because if I go and tackle them and push them they would probably be pissed and still end up getting hurt. And if I pull them, then they can see how close to death they just came... no denying it like they might try if I push them. If I push 'em then I'll just look like a jerk.
