Never heard of a 'Don't Bee' - but I'm told that there are several Watchers that are quite familiar with 'Do-Bees'.

No no NO! Not doobies!
Do Bees were things you were supposed to do, like, I dunno, "Do Bee polite and helpful." Don't Bees were the opposite -- "Don't Bee smokin' a doobie -- you're too young to appreciate it." That sort of thing.

I don't think I was here when you posted. Or is that aimed at someone else?

You weren't on the Watch when I looked to see who was on the Watch.
And you aren't now, either, according to the list.
You must be a hit-and-run.

Germany
Article 142 of the Strafgesetzbuch (penal code) hit-and-run ("illicit leaving of the scene of an accident") is punished with prison up to three years or a fine. Persons who have caused a traffic accident, or have contributed to it, have the duty to identify themselves to the victims or to other contributors. If the victim is not present (e.g. damage of a parking car) the one who caused the accident has to wait a certain time. If the victim doesn't appear, he has to leave his address or to report the accident to the police.
Different in that it applies not only to the perpetrator of an accident, article 323c states that anyone who fails to provide necessary help in an emergency can be punished with prison up to one year or a fine. This only applies if providing help is a "reasonable burden", that is when it can take place "especially without putting yourself in substantial danger or neglecting other important duties". Not being explicitly asked to help is, to the contrary, no acceptable reason not to do so. In a traffic accident for example, the actions expected would be 1. securing the site against follow-up accidents, 2. calling emergency services, and 3. providing first aid to your ability until professional help arrives.

Hi, there, long time no see!
Gil-Galad was an elven king
Of him the Harpers sadly sing.
The last whose realm was fair and free
between the mountains and the sea.
His lance was long, his sword was keen.
The elven stars of heaven's field
were mirror'd in his silver shield.
But long ago he rode away
and where he dwelleth, none can say.
For into Darkness fell his star.
In Mordor, where the Shadows are.
