Did I do the right thing?

Posted by JDNewbie on February 19, 2014 at 12:32:23 from (70.183.134.232):

I was delivering something to a professor at our local college today, and I saw an elderly man who looked like he was having a tough time of it today. I greeted him, and asked how he was doing, to which he replied he was tired. I offered to help carry his bag, but he would have none of it. I politely told him to have a good day and went on my way.

On the way back out, he was sitting on the sidewalk. I watched him get up and asked him again if he was OK. This time I was closer to him and it looked like he had maybe vomited a little on his shirt, and some of it was still in his mouth. He said he was fine. I asked him if he knew where he was going. He said he was going to turn in some papers. I asked if he minded if I walk with him to class, to which he said, "of course I mind, but you do what you want."

I didn't follow him to class, but I did stop at the main office and let them know about him. Apparently he is on campus quite frequently.

So, was I disrespectful? I sure didn't mean to be. I didn't want to bother him, but I didn't want to be someone who didn't help someone in need. Regardless, I'm glad I stopped to check on him.
