Are you a snitch?

[Vex]

Just wondering what ERA's pov is on "telling it" is.

Obviously, there is room for nuance in this discussion. Telling it on someone smoking dat lalala in their car vs telling it on someone playing loud music at 0231 hours in the morning while setting off fireworks is totally different... Right? Right.

Where do you stand? Are you generally a good, upstanding citizen and telling on people at work, home, ERA etc? Or do you turn and look the other way and embrace the chaos?

This you?

Or is this you?

Edit: And what're some stories that you have a snitching or not snitching? Dont worry, I won't tell. You can trust me.

 

[Hellwarden]

Tell me, do I look like a snitch?

 

[Terbinator]

See it. Say it. Sorted.

 

[Max|Payne]

I don't want no stitches.

 

[Milky Way]

Nor end up in ditches.

 

[Frank]

Snitches get stitches.

 

[Jonathan Lanza]

Does it involve me taking the fall? I'm snitching.
If it doesn't then I ain't

 

[Handicapped Duck]

I don't give a damn what people do unless they snitching on me behind my back.

 

[julia crawford]

I'm here to destroy fun and I will destroy fun

 

[Royalan]

If it doesn't involve me and nobody's being hurt I usually mind the business that pays me.

Otherwise? Just call me Aretha cuz I'm SINGING.

 

[OrigamiPirate]

Context matters, but for the most part if I'm not in danger I don't care how other people are behaving, and I didn't see anything.

 

[Fat4all]

whats in it for me

 

[Yourfawthaaa]

Absolutely

No fun allowed if your gonna cause me and mines danger

 

[Volimar]

Definitely depends on the situation. I tend not to tell on anything that's harmless, but if there's someone in trouble or something dangerous afoot sure.

 

[thesoapster]

I only report things that are obviously harmful. Theft, hit and runs, etc. I'm not reporting someone for substance use (...unless they need immediate lifesaving intervention).

 

[Clay]

Depends what it is. It blows me away so many people have a blanket "None of my business" attitude. Like if I see someone shoplifting, sure, I could care less and I'm not going to say anything. But if I see someone get kidnapped or something, then yeah, I'll "snitch."

I always wonder if "no snitch" people just accept they'll get no help in a situation like that. They're daughter gets shoved in a van in broad daylight, no one will say what they saw, and they just think "Well that makes sense, after all, it's really no one's business except for me and the kidnapper."

 

[Holy Diver]

If it causes harm on others then absolutely.

Truth.

 

[Rangerx]

As long as one is getting hurt or I'm not going to catch any heat then I'm not saying shit.

 

[Noisy Ninj4]

My default is nah. If I don't know the situation that well, I could just make things worse getting involved.

 

[Sarobi]

Depends if I woke up in a shit mood.

 

[Rosebud]

If it's not harming anyone I don't care

 

[stopmrdomino]

over a third of posters are snitches... yikes

kind of people that see a homeless person taking bread at a grocery store and calling the cops

 

[Renna Hazel]

Nope, I hate dealing with police.

 

[HelloMeow]

Why do you wanna know? Are you a snitch?

Kind of people see a black man walking in their nice freshly gentrified neighborhood and call the cops cause they've never seen him before

 

[Midramble]

Depends on the thing.

 

[Ashes of Dreams]

Yeah I cross the line at harm being done to a person. But other than that... I didn't see anything.

 

[Lukar]

As long as nobody's being harmed: if it's none of my business, it's none of my business.

 

[Ouroboros]

Unless it's hurting someone I don't give a shit what you do.

 

[elLOaSTy]

If someone is being hurt or harmed then yeah fuck the person doing it of course

If someone is just sticking it to the man they can go about w.e business they want

 

[Funkelpop]

I usually snitch when my neighbors aren't upkeeping their lawns and devaluing the neighborhood.

 

[plz_give_me_a_job]

I've luckily never had to call the police but if something violent is happening of course I would. I've heard some people say that police make situations worse but I don't think not calling them is the right call.

 

[THErest]

There's nuance.

I snitched on a mother at a bar who let her young child play with the darts unattended and he was standing directly under the dartboard throwing darts straight upward and letting them rain back down on himself. Told the manager.

 

[Hellwarden]

For those saying no, I would ask you to reconsider.

Being a snitch rules. I'm snitching right now, on multiple different people, and I'm planning on snitching on the people who I snitched to yesterday.

 

[Nepenthe]

Only if an individual is in the process of being victimized somehow. Otherwise nope.

 

[hobblygobbly]

i'd say 9/10 of this forum exhibits this behaviour lol

Didn't see nothing. Also never heard of the person you're asking about.

While we're strawmanning, two thirds of Resetera won't do anything to prevent someone from plotting murder or terrorism.

I'm hopeful the majority would say something that could prevent significant harm while minding their own business for small things.

Double negatives can be confusing.
Snitcher then.

Call me Johnny Tight Lips cause I ain't squealing

 

[mopinks]

the HOA lady tried to get me to snitch on our neighbors for not picking up their dog poop but I decided I hate the HOA lady more than I hate the dog poop

 

[Keiriks]

See it. Say it. Sorted.

I was in England only for like a week a couple months back and heard this so often it's still stuck in my head.
