I wasn't there when someone needed me.....?

Question

I hope they're not lost forever.

When was the last time you got your timing wrong and weren't able to rescue someone.

Answer 1

Hey, that's life. it happens. If they won't say it, I will: you're forgiven. :-)

Answer 2

I was supposed to go into work on my day off to bring a cigar to a patient that had requested one. I didn't realize that it was his final request, although he tried to make me understand that. I had to sign paperwork to have him taken off of oxygen (which I struggled with because they said he would die). So, I woke up late the next morning and called to apologize but he had already died. All he wanted was a cigar before he went. I will never ever forget that...it was 20 years ago.

Answer 3

When someone directly asked to speak to me, i think they needed help, and i blatantly said no... i was only 14, but still it sticks in my mind, and i regret ever doing it, but im not going to dwell on that anymore, i was wrong, but i have learnt from that experience, and help anybody who needs my help!

Answer 4

I am now doing it on purpose because when I needed some one to talk to one day, I realized there was no one I could rely on, that I was the rock.

Answer 5

Never, they got their timing wrong and wasn't there when I needed them.

Answer 6

I guess I am lucky that has never happened. But hey, we are human and our timing can be off.

Answer 7

Thankfully I've never been in that position. At least not that I know of

Answer 8

i have never really been 'needed' to that extent
but hey dont beat yourself up about it, if you wasn't there then you wasn't meant to be there

Answer 9

never - that person (if hes like me) wont trust you again. Trust is absolutely crucial in everything - im dissapointed

Answer 10

a lot of time
