If you saw a car accident happen, would you hurry over to help the people in the car accident and check if they’re okay, or would you mind your own business?

In today’s story, one nurse rushes over to help, but she’s wondering if she messed up.

Let’s read the whole story to decide.

AITA for leaving my car parked at a gas pump?

Yesterday on my way home, I decided to stop and get gas. This gas station is smaller and only has 10-12 gas pumps but it wasn’t busy at the time I was there. About 50% were in use.

I had just opened my gas tank when a head on collision occurred in the intersection. It was so loud, it sounded like an explosion. One vehicles tire flew off and the other spun out multiple times.

I immediately dialed 911 and neither driver attempted to exit their vehicle.

She left her car and went over to help.

I had to wait on hold with 911 and since I’m a nurse and no one else had gone over to the vehicles, I went over to help.

I went over to the 1st vehicle and the driver was disoriented from the airbag but was okay so I went over to the 2nd vehicle.

I wasn’t able get the drivers door open on my own but luckily some construction workers came over and were able to help me get the door open.

The 2nd driver was also okay and I was finally able to reach a 911 operator.

She waited for the paramedics to arrive.

She instructed me to remain with the drivers until fire and EMS arrived. It took about 10 minutes for them to arrived at the scene.

Once emergency services arrived, I let the paramedics know about each of the drivers and they gave me the okay to leave.

I walked back over to my car so I could pump my gas.

The gas station attendant was angry!

As soon as I arrived back to my car, the gas station attendant came over and began screaming at me for parking my car at the pump.

I tried to explain I was helping with the accident.

And he continued screaming at me I should have moved my car out of the way before going to help them.

She wonders if she should’ve moved her car.

I pumped my gas and then left.

Other people at the gas station were telling me it was fine and to just ignore him but now I’m questioning myself.

AITA for leaving my car parked at the gas pump?

Normally, I would say not to park at a gas pump, but this was an emergency situation. I think helping the people in the car accident was more important than moving her car.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

She was right and he was wrong.

It’s easy to see the gas station attendant’s perspective, but he’s still wrong.

Here’s a comment about the size of the gas station.

There’s only one way this would’ve been a problem.

This is good advice. LOL

Don’t take what a gas station attendant says too seriously.
