When I tell people that have reminded a driver to look at a pedestrian ahead and probably saved that pedestrian, people generally react negatively, saying something like the driver will see the pedestrian anyway eventually, but my crazy reaction could have distracted him.
Also, once I almost pull a girl back to safety from a street where a SUV was ready to hit her—and she does’t not even call my on my birthdays! So helping neighbours doesn’t give status in my experience.
