Stupid mother fuckers (the scientific term) are rarely aware of the negative impact they have on those around them. Case-in-point: some lady at a green light just turned her hazards on and sat there blocking traffic for some unknown reason when we were coming home today. She's way-too checked out to actually think about the people inconvenienced by her behavior or she'd be too horrified by what others thought to do so. I mean, some people are genuinely uncaring about others, but I think the majority don't think past their own action rather than being sociopaths. They just aren't thoughtful people.
You sure she just chose to do that on a whim and wasn't experiencing functional issues with her vehicle? Depending on the context, you might be doing what you're accusing her of doing by focusing on how it affected you rather than why she might have done it.
Not that it's impossible that she was just being selfish or unaware, but that "for some unknown reason" stood out to me.
Functional issues with her vehicle?! What, did the front fall off?
Maybe she noticed the brake is not working properly and decided to not risk it. Maybe her car didn’t move when she pressed the accelerator. Maybe she couldn’t get into gear when driving a manual. Maybe the steering wheel locked up. I think there might be about a thousand issues why someone puts on hazards and can’t move the car (safely) anymore.
I once had a car stop working while waiting at a stoplight. Light turns green, press gas pedal, nothing. In a panic, I just keyed it off and started it again, and luckily that did the trick. I don't think I would have had the sense at the time to use hazards if that hadn't worked.
You’re right, but your example is putting you in the category of people you’re explaining. You couldn’t find a single better example? Really?
Here’s one: People at the metro will try to get on before others get off. They will just push their way past them like if they don’t get on right this second then the train will leave without them. It makes it harder for everyone else and the whole scenario is easy to see from all perspectives, yet they still miss it. No guessing reasons, just moronic selfishness.
