Heartless stranger refuses to help lost woman find her boyfriend
“NTA. She wasn’t looking for her boyfriend. When you said you hadn’t seen him, her search should have continued elsewhere. If she really needed help, she would have wanted you to call 911 to get the police involved. I wouldn’t be surprised if her bf was outside waiting after she whipped out a weapon to rob or kill you or both. Someone approached me in the pouring rain at a bank at night while I was going through the drive-thru. It wasn’t in the greatest of areas and sketchy AF. I lowered the window a crack to say I’d be right there to keep the peace because I was scared but booked it out the parking lot. I was a single female alone pretty sure about to be in real danger. Unfortunately, your partner doesn’t have that sense. Hopefully, it doesn’t put him in real danger one day. Also, my husband will open the door sometimes, but the storm is locked. I actually hate the fact he even opens the door. So many people have ring now. We can just speak through our ring monitor. There’s no reason to open the door unless it’s someone you know.”
