I have stopped my car several times to warn adults who I've seen giving children mower rides.
When I was two I was run over by a mower when I ran out to get a ride. No one expected me to be outside, thus no one was watching for me. I ran behind the mower as it was backing up and was struck. I lost my right arm and shattered my shoulder blade.
Life turned out okay for me despite the loss, but it obviously could have been much different. So when I see an adult giving a child a ride, I make a point to stop and warn them of the danger.
Surprisingly I have never been told to mind my own business. Maybe the stump where my arm is suppose to be gets their attention.
That would make "me" do what you say. In fact, you can tell me to do something productive right now.
