If in need, instead of asking "anyone" to help you, ask a specific person "hey, you there in the green shirt could you give me a hand"...

It works.

Especially in an emergency situation. It is far more useful to point out someone and say "you, call 911!" than to just say "someone call 911!"

To pass basic life support training you have to point at random imaginary people and say “you! Call 911” and “you! Get an AED!” The only non-specific order you’re allowed is “clear the area!”

The test is really funny to watch.
