Why I will never understand people

[tiggymalvern]

Because at 3.30pm in February, when it's absolutely pissing it down with rain in a light mist and the freeway's a wall of spray, when the rear lights of cars in front are disappearing at about a hundred yards' visibility, significant numbers of 'people' are still driving along thinking, 'I don't need to turn my lights on because it's not dark yet.'

Sometimes I think I understand psychopaths better than I understand 'normal' people. At the least the thought processes of a psychopath follow a consistent internal logic once the flawed starting point is allowed for. Those people on I-90 - they don't make sense from any perspective at all.

Hah, maybe you should track down some of those folks who don't use lights and Dexter 'em? :)

Well, yeah. If it doesn't affect them and their sense of well-being (at that particular instant), why should they be bothered? *sighs*

*makes "vroom - vroom" noises*

Okay, so this is what happens when I get up in the middle of the night for a potty break and stop off at the computer for a sec... XD

*waves bye-bye* I'm back to bed. Just wait. Now I'll have weird dreams of psychopathic drivers for the rest of the night!

It's people who don't use indicaters I hate. Because they're at a corner and you, as the pedestrian, have to work it if/how they're intending to turn and if it's safe and all they have to do is press the bloody winky lights! It's not hard, darn it!
But yeah, some drivers... gah...

And then there are people that think that having their parking lights on is good enough, even when it is dark.

At the least the thought processes of a psychopath follow a consistent internal logic once the flawed starting point is allowed for.

I agree. If Muraki were driving under the conditions you describe, he would definitely turn his headlights on. He's probably a much safer driver than someone like Tsuzuki or Watari. ;-)
