You gotta be ****tin' me...!

All yer venting about sloths and when you finally get your hands on
one... you help push his car!? And take no action to get him off the
road even though he was obviously incapable of driving ...!?
LordyLordyLordy... has hell has frozen over?

Didn't you feel any obligation to call the police to protect the public
and/or just the poor old geezer from himself? Sounds like you could
have at least sneaked his keys and given 'em to the attendant and been
on your way...
