Shall I offer him a hand with it? Or shall I sit here videoing him in
case he drops it?

Good job the car wasn't coming when he scampered into the middle of the
road. He might have damaged it.

It's perhaps a wider comment about the state of the world that the
person with a camera chose to video rather than actually to offer
help!

Most people seem to be that way. I watched, well listened to a program in
which an accident had occurred, the biggest problem the emergency services
had was all the young kids videoing the casualty and getting in the way.
Is it really now the case that the next generation treat real life as if it
was s TV program or a game?

Blind user, so no pictures please!

When I first read this subject line I heard it to the tune of that song, how
to handle a woman, which many consider non pc these days.

Yes. That's what 'reality' TV shows are all about. TV = life.
They grow up seeing people violently killed several times a day on TV
and think nothing of it.

It was actually in my mind when I wrote that title.
FYI the gentleman was rolling a dish down the road on its edge. It was
twice his height and conspired with gravity to take over the
situation.
Just like the case of man v. woman when you start off *thinking* you
are in control until reality takes over.

I suppose the best of both worlds is to set up the camera on the car
dashboard and then go offer to help - and maybe the schadenfreude part of
one's personality hopes that something "bad" happens just before you get
there :-)

My favourite non PC song is Wives and Lovers by Bacharach:

Hey, little girl,
Comb your hair, fix your make-up.
Soon he will open the door.
Don't think because
There's a ring on your finger,
You needn't try any more.

It carries on in that vein:
