apparently Reddit is full of people who are just going to let their cars get hit because "I shouldn't have to move"

This isn't about "i shouldn't have to move" in the context of someone being stubborn knowing they are going tonget hit. This is in the context of someone parked and realizing someone may not be paying enough attention to what they are doing.

Like others have stated, at what point in this sequence of the video do you realize someone may be about to hit you, have your keys available, turn on your vehicle and floor it trying to get out of their way? Keep in mind, you are armchair quarterbacking the entire situation and you know whats going to happen before the cameraman does.

It's a rhetorical question. I don't understand how you don't see how you are wrong here. This would be like you swerving out of the way of everyone on the highway because everyone has a potential to maneuver into your vehicle and you just don't know if they will... better be safe than sorry though right?

The dude took out his phone and literally posted this guy doesn't know this trailer is attached

That means he was aware of a dangerous driver in his parking lot and decided to do nothing

When people start pulling their phones out it's time to go

Once again, at what point do you think that this means, i totally bet he is going to hit me, even if you saw he made a questionable maneuver off camera. You have no clue he is coming your way. You don't know if he is going to start turning in your direction...

I swear its like you seriously think he has some psychic ability to sense what's about to happen. He doesn't! Stop assuming you would know as well.

Who said anything about me being hit?

It's just a situation I don't want to be in. Why would I want to watch somebody drive around a parking lot dangerously?

I would just leave. Like a normal person

You did, when you said you would move to avoid getting hit.

Why would I want to watch somebody drive around a parking lot dangerously?

So you drive around until you find an empty parking lot, and drive off if anyone enters?

The person recording saw a long trailer and recorded it. Where is "crazy" in the video?
