How, as a society, have we accepted rubbernecking to be an inevitable evil? How have we reached the point where we can, without batting an eye, discuss that we were stuck in traffic because of rubbernecking? It is the stupidest fucking thing that we as humans deal with on a regular basis - other fucking idiots who feel the need to actually slow their vehicles to a crawl to gawk at a car accident, or even worse, a car just pulled over and disabled. Are these people lemmings? Have they no concept of what it means to be a thinking member of civilization? Are they aware that they’re literally causing huge traffic pile ups just so that they can ogle a car with its hazard lights on? Who do you think you are, Uatu? Do you serious not realize the ramifications of your utterly mindless and totally reprehensible actions?
And for some reason this is ok. This is just one of those things one has to deal with. Fuck that. I’m about to start acting like Michael Douglas in Falling Down. I will seriously have to control myself so as to not run up to a car where someone is stopping to observe an accident or something and gouge both of that person’s eyes out with my thumbs. It just took me near an hour to take a 6 minute drive because everyone on the highway was going 2 miles an hour looking at a disabled vehicle ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. How is this possible? I don’t even get the mechanics of it - do people do it on purpose? Befuddling.
