I always wonder about the people who laugh, like they've never fallen on ice before? How do they feel? Arrrgh.
I'm glad you were there to be a good human, on both counts!
Once we came upon an accident due to ice in the era before cell phones. We asked if they needed us to call for help; they said someone already was going to do that so we decided to wait and make sure paramedics arrived (a girl was stuck in the car and couldn't get out). A cop car drove by from Denver (we were in Aurora, a suburb). We flagged him down, and he said out his window, "Not my jurisdiction," and drove off.
I was floored. You're driving a cop car, and in uniform, for whatever reason outside your jurisdiction, and YOU CAN'T STOP AND HELP A GIRL TRAPPED IN A CAR? Or even radio in and wait? Off duty first responders help all the time because HUMANITY and this guy just drives off like he didn't care or didn't want to be in trouble for being someplace he wasn't supposed to be.
Meanwhile, here you are being a better human just going about your day!
