'Don't be judgemental': Good Samaritan shares angry note left on her car
A Good Samaritan has urged people “not to be judgemental” after she found an angry note on her car while caring for a vulnerable person during the coronavirus lockdown.
Sarah Crossland said she recently dropped off groceries to a resident in Leeds, in northern England, who is unable to leave their home.
But when she returned to her car, she found someone had pushed a note through a gap in her window.
“I have recorded your registration number...you have no business in this street. You have broken the quarantine regulation lockdown!” the note read.
Ms Crossland shared an image of the handwritten note to a Facebook group in Leeds and asked people to think before making accusations.
“This is a public service announcement on quarantine rules and how not to be judgemental,” she said.
“I dropped some shopping off for someone vulnerable. I did their shopping alongside my own weekly shop. I parked my car near their house. My window was slightly open due to it being warm.
“When I got back in my car, I found this passive aggressive note on my seat. I would have been more than happy to explain what I was doing via social distancing, although I thought the shopping bags in my hand and in the car might have been a giveaway.
“Moral of the story? Don't be judgemental to people who are trying to help others,” she wrote.
The NHS has recruited an ‘army’ of 750,000 volunteers to help vulnerable people after an original appeal for 250,000 people was inundated with offers of help.
Those who have signed up are helping with everything from delivering shopping and medication to transporting patients and NHS equipment or even checking on people or calling them regularly.
On top of official volunteers, many communities have launched their own informal efforts to help the vulnerable, collecting shopping, picking up prescriptions, walking dogs and more.
