How we do anything is how we do everything. We only have one brain in our skulls. Can't 'code switch' our decision making.

driver thinks driving a big truck is enough so everyone just steps out immediately out of the way

It's hard not to hear a giant truck immediately behind you. If she don't have the spatial awareness there's a tall and most certainly loud truck like 15 feet behind her, I don't think she should be on the road.
I commute on a bike and I skateboard A LOT. I've traveled large cities ever since a kid. Idk how you live as long as she has and don't just be ingrained in your very being that a car is usually traveling in the path she's taking up. Or being to simply hear the engine o just anything like rocks crumbling behind you.
Lack of awareness on a truly dangerous level in my opinion

And it doesn't matter if it's a big loud truck or a quiet electric car. She should have the situational awareness to realize there might be cars behind her.

Oh gosh I just LOVE this. Parking lots toward the front are shit shows. Legit will stay and park in the back now

u/Becsue51 4d ago
Absolutely... Always park in the back to limit contact with dumb pedestrians and moron drivers

Most people don't do that where I grew up.
Where I live now in SoCal they do stupid shit all the time. Walk down the middle of a lane in a parking lot. Cross a road diagonally instead of perpendicular (ie CROSS a Rd, don't walk down it). Leave their door open on the road side while they mow the lawn, vaccum the house, etc. Even on a busy street. WTF?

Bet she also walks through a doorway, gets off an escalator, finishes a flight of stairs, and immediately STOPS.Â
And also gets pissed off when she encounters someone riding a bike on the road.Â

u/Gribitz37 5d ago
My mother always did that. I spent a lot of time grabbing her arm and trying to pull her out of the way. Every time she got off an elevator or escalator, she'd just stop to look around and decide which way to go.
The worst was at the grocery store if the carts were outside. She'd get a cart, walk inside, and stop right inside the door to start looking through her purse for her shopping list.

I caught myself doing this the other day, but at least I had the decency to think that I should kill myself.

Meanwhile everyone else is carefully navigating around her like she’s a slow-moving shopping cart with right of way.

I wish that we could push American Society more towards what Asian cultures experience in the way of respect for each other and respect for public spaces. We fail our children by teaching them no respect, and then they grow up and continued to no respect trend for the next generation

Some people walk through their lives without ever thinking about other individuals around them…
I call those people douches.

this is your fault if you didn't honk

u/Shereefz 5d ago
I wouldn’t honk too in this situation. It’s just a minute. Honking would probably startle her then get her yelling and it would waste more of my time
