Guilt

[@dustyjane]

Only a gentleman as kind as you would feel guilt about these instances. You're the best!

[@amjPeace]

Oh Peter, sometimes in the haste of the moment I, too, don't make the best choice. But I try to recognize the feeling as "regret" which helps me resolve to do better next time. I save real "guilt" for the times when I deliberately do something to hurt another person. Try not to be too hard on yourself, because you have a beautiful soul.

[@McKavian]

Being that you are able to feel guilt makes you better than most people alive today. Having a conscience is a rare thing any more. Keep worrying, Peter. Keep feeling guilty. It means you still have a soul left.

[@francescavender7661]

You are the nicest person in the world and still is.

[@Ten1temsOrLess]

This is so sweet. It's nice to see your genuine concern for the well being of strangers. I think you did your best regarding the lost tourists and Australians are a hardy bunch so I'm sure they got there in the end. :)

[@rosesforviolets]

rest in peace, peter. you were such a wonderful human. i hope heaven is treating you and patricia well.

[@madphoenix83]

Sometimes I am feeling guilty because I want to be helpful to someone, but send them in a wrong direction because I am confusing street names. It haunts me the whole day because they might think I did it on purpose. But as long as we mean well, we should let go of guilty feelings because everyone can be confused or asked for directions just in the wrong second when our mind is not really there. You tried to help and you didn't just walk away, that's very nice already! Thanks for your videos!

[@rearwindow8318]

No one deserves the title of Gentleman more than Peter.

[@keithnisbet]

Your comment shows real sensitivity. Don't be too hard on yourself. If that's your biggest "sin" your more advanced than the majority of Humanity. On second thought judging from other comments regarding this video the world is full of nice people. Keep up the good work!

[@TheGelinu]

You are a good man, and have nothing to feel guilty about. I do however understand your feelings about it. I think it happens to most of us. We act or we neglect to act in the moment, and then afterwards when going through the event in our head, we find that there was a better approach that could have been taken.I believe that it is part of being human, and learning through our experiences. The fact that you think about it, and feel remorse that you did not act your very best shows a lot.

[@rubber161]

I know it's too late to say it, but you really had a golden heart. I'm not saying this because of any stereotype, but it is known that most elderly people aren't really that calm and thoughtful and most times they believe they're always right. What surprises me about you is that you were, despite the age and the stereotypes about it, a very honest man. You even decided to make a video with a certain humor (that really made me laugh) with a young man. It feels bad to know that you are not here with us anymore, but it also feels amazing to know that someone like you existed

[@drowningpanzer7992]

You are person with a golden heart.

[@stevehelium]

Lovely. What a wonderful gentleman...

[@MarvinJudson]

I feel I understand and I do have empathy for how you feel regarding the incidents. If your phone has GPS maybe you could have brought up a map of the location to show the tourists. Myself, I would have just taken them in my car to wherever it is. And yes, if one has the money to spare and a person in line in front of you hasn't enough to pay, just shove the needed money into the clerk's hand. Then everybody wins. I've been that person who was short on money before.

[@Robnznst1]

I love your videos. I enjoy listening to your reflections on life.

[@MingyDoodles]

That's what makes you a good person. You're thoughtful and reflect on experiences and how you could have done them different. You have NO reason to feel guilty... you're a good man. :) But... whatever friend told you that your google hang out was rubbish should be feeling guilty. :)

[@breadandcircus1]

Peter, you're such an adorable man. Not many men like you are out there in this world. I love you ! :) Your video made my day, woo !

[@gosallygo]

Sometimes we all do things out of character when we are stressed.Your friend clearly upset you re the video & your mind was probably in another place.You're a good kind person Peter please don't be so hard on yourself.You're 86 years old on 20th August & are embracing technology that others give up on at the first hurdle -so well done. We all do things that, on reflection,we later regret,but it's the intent that's important, you didn't intend to be uncaring to the Australians.Forgive yourself.

[@YoXarek]

well, that's all right, it happens to most of us too. I also wish I had always a sharp Answer in every Situation.

[@russtex]

I don't think anyone should be rude to you, Peter! Your a wonderful guy! Yes, I have done things that I felt guilty about before. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@gracegracie4403]

Your a golden person with a golden heart

[@cynicalfairy]

What is that old adage? "Bad people never feel guilty" (Or something to that effect.) This happens to me too, but you have to think about the positive side of life. You did indeed confirm for those ladies that they were on the correct road; maybe the next person they asked knew exactly where to go? Concerning the lady in the store: next time that happens you will remember & perhaps will not be as shy to give. You are only human though. And you are a good person *because* of the guilt you feel.

[@DonaPatrick]

I know exactly what you mean -- about the directions and the woman at the checkout -- it has happened to me too and I have felt guilty too. You are a good man. I've not kept up with your videos -- and for that I feel guilty.

[@EREproductions]

You're a gentleman, Peter!

[@Vespur]

"Guilt" somehow grows from "Hind sight" Your a good person ....Next time these instances happen things will most likely be different because you had time to think about it.

[@trvlbuggy]

Yes, I hold the guilt for a time..sometimes I will have a flash of regret that I didn't do something at the moment. Also, regrets that I became involved with strangers.. Thank you for the vid.....always enjoy your vids.

[@JohnStressedTechy]

Can't undo the past, whatever has happened has happened. Just use it to learn from, and hopefully make oneself a better person for the future.

[@stringer630]

I've given people directions in the past, only to later realise upon doing some google that I had given them incorrect directions. I've felt pretty guilty for that as well.

[@annathy9857]

I sure do miss him.

[@paishlee9112]

When he was alive I wish he was my grandpa! Rip, this is the first video I saw of you.

[@frisiancoil]

Thank you for sharing

[@paulaaaaaaa]

You are my new favorite human being in the world.

[@k6tpl]

You hit it Peter Guilt! I have that problem also. Like every time I talk to anyone. Have no idea why this is. But when it happens I think Jer your 70 years old! You could have Some rare form of Memory loss, I could be Dreaming, I don't know where the car is, did I bring the car? I look at a tree and say did it just move? And then I just go on since I forgot what it was the person wanted. If none of that works I Bark. Then the person runs away.

[@TracyInsomiac]

In California we have a slag word called "flake" or the verb form "to flake" It translates to the (hopefully) forgivable sin of neglecting something you should do out of forgetfulness. In a sentence: "I promised Molly I was going to take her shopping after the game, but I totally flaked" In this case you could have called the tourist's destination but you "Flaked"

[@Gorguruga]

Look at this way - you informed them they were on the right road which means it saved them getting lost and going off the trail. You actually helped them considerably by providing that vital piece of information. Did you have any deeper regrets in life - things perhaps you wish, at one time, you would have done which could have changed the course of your life? I do have a few of my own - a past girlfriend, failed investments etc..

[@Emi-hc2ls]

Those are hardly things you should feel guilty about! That just shows what a nice person you are haha. The things I feel guilty about are all morally wrong things, rather than inaction.

[@EmeraldSunshine]

Karl and zipster..memories.....

[@tpalmer63]

I don't think what you did, or didn't do, should make you feel very guilty. We know you are a good person, which is why you have the impulse to feel such guilt in the first place. Forgive yourself, please! Loving the videos in the USA colonies!

[@D413373R]

ive had simalar experiences, i would'nt worry about it too much they are very small things to feel guilty about in the grand scheme of things.

[@mynanama8080]

I became strangely Invisible to a young student to whom I paid 72p to make up her bus ticket shortage - Not a word or even a look! smile or acknowledgement!

[@kylafallon8336]

You are amazing!

[@Tessietots]

Much Love GrandDad, so good to see you:)

[@derekcolman]

I have a fleeting moment of guilt in those situations, then I think je ne regrette rien. I did pass the supermarket test though about 3 weeks ago. A Chinese girl in front of me did not have enough money and put back one item, but she was still 20p short, so I gave her 20p.

[@IsoscelesKramer]

I wouldn't feel too guilty about the examples you mentioned, especially not about the tourists looking for the B&B. You told them everything you knew and if the thought of calling the place for them didn't occur to you until later, well that's not your fault.

[@Argentium009]

No point in feeling guilty about it, you didn't think of it at the time but you would have done so had you thought of it and that's what counts. Most people wouldn't even think of it after the fact in order to feel guilty about it. They'd just give them the bums rush and be done with it. Remember Peter, Nobuddy's Prefect.

[@KerewinH]

The person who took your money should not have taken it and instead politely declined or repaid you straight after. As for the Australians, they should of equipped themselves for the journey. What is the point of going to the expense of travelling 1/2 way round the planet and leaving yourself short of a street map etc so you can find your way around?

[@itzchamp4285]

I can't believe he died

[@gerry2345]

We tend overthink things as humans instead of going with our initial gut reactions.... maybe it's a British thing...

[@KodessR]

I liked your hangouts video...

[@TracyInsomiac]

slag = slang... oops..

[@ByeByeBelly]

You probably just had other things on your mind, they were perfectly capable of finding their way, getting lost is supposed to be half the fun of travel

[@francescavender7661]

You are the nicest person in the world and still is.
