What would you do?

I was picking up some groceries the other day in Toronto when an interesting situation arose. Imagine if you would, you are pushing your shopping cart and you accidentally bump into a display of sunglasses, causing about about 10 pairs to fall. What would you do? (I'll give you a second to think)

This happened about 3 meters from where I was checking out. A woman bumped into the sunglasses, and I know she knew what she did. Normally, I would go and help her pick them up, but I had just given my credit card to the clerk so I wasn't comfortable with leaving. Now, what did she do? First, she made a face. You know the face you make when you accidentally do something, that grimace where you move your shoulders up in a cringe. Then, she looked at the sunglasses, looked around and started moving towards them to pick them up. BUT, for some reason she stopped....stepped back towards her cart and started to move away. That's when ANOTHER woman (random shopper) walked pass her and started to pick up the sunglasses. Now, I turned to the clerk and said, "Now, here's an interesting social experiment. What will she do now?" (I had to explain to her in detail a bit later)

Much to my amusement, the first woman, looked at the woman picking up the glasses, considered for a bit (too long, if you ask me) with a "dang it" type of pained look on her face, before finally joining to pick up the mess she had made. I have to say, (especially since I was tired at that point in the day..therefore my temper is on a long leash) if the first woman hadn't returned to clean up, I would have said something to her, as she was making her way towards me during her attempted getaway.

Too bad Jon Quinones wasn't around!
