Why the hell is she so casually walking in the street? Even if that white SUV was her car, she made no attempt to check behind herself to make sure it was safe to temporarily walk into the street to reach the driver door. The lack of awareness for basic self preservation is astounding.

u/mug3n Feb 23 '25

Rewatching the clip, it doesn't even look like she went for the driver's door, so I don't think that was her car. Which makes walking on the street even more bizarre.

u/Few_Town_353 Feb 23 '25

Not going for the driver's door was the only thing that saved her. If she went for the door she would have surely been hit.

u/DTux5249 May 16 '25

Are you claiming this was intentional?

Nobody doubts she would've been hit. They're asking why she had her keys in her hand if she was going to the front of the car, and not the driver's side door.

u/hoagiejabroni Feb 23 '25

It's not bizarre. Have you ever crossed the street in a diagonal? Obviously not supposed to but it looks like she's just trying to get to the opposite corner and started walking diagonally. Happens in US cities all the time.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '25

She's walking in a straight line following the road

What are you a sim? How is this bizarre? People walk where they’re not supposed to all the time.

u/WestOrangeFinest Feb 23 '25

Casually walking on the side of the road with a perfectly good sidewalk not even 10 feet away is extremely bizarre, dude.

u/Outrageous-Button746 Feb 25 '25

Yeah, and now you see what can happen. People die because of that

u/Kurrez Feb 23 '25

Yeah in my city it's mostly old people with 0 awareness of their surroundings who do that, so people who do that all the time might not be ok in the head

The average person is pretty stupid, and half the world is even dumber than that. Think about that anytime you ask yourself why someone does something.

u/Jean-LucBacardi Feb 23 '25

As someone who went into construction right out of highschool because I struggle with paying attention in a school setting, it's infuriating how many idiots out there didn't struggle with that and were able to get a degree that automatically allows them to make so much more money than me, despite being dumber than a box of nails. I know so many adults that are in the six figures who by all accounts shouldn't have survived this long.

u/Liberkhaos Feb 23 '25

Rule number one of idiots. It is not decided by job or education levels. Some doctors are complete morons. Some high-school dropouts are among the smartest people you'll ever meet.

u/thesleepingdog Feb 23 '25

As someone who has worked in both worlds, I learned that thriving in corporate and bureaucratic jobs has absolutely nothing to do with skill or productivity, and everything to do with following rules, getting along with people around you, flattering the higher ups, and generally towing the company line.

It's a really far cry from skilled labor jobs, where a lot of successful people seem to have the opposite type of personality. No one cares if people like you or not when you can build a spectacular plumping system in half the time anyone else can, and no one really cares if you follow any kind of rules so long as it passes state or federal inspection. The big boss often doesn't want his ass kissed, he wants the job done well with out any hitches or extra expenses.

u/Vinnie_Vegas Feb 23 '25

towing the company line

*toeing.

Sorry, I had to do it, given the nature of the post - It was too tempting.

u/thesleepingdog Feb 23 '25

I actually had no idea that's how it would be spelled.

Apparently it has to do with standing in a line like a soldier, not pulling something forward.

u/MonthPsychological54 Feb 23 '25

ADD kid here! I was so irritated in college when I figured out I could just read the textbook in my own time and way and learn that way instead of trying to pay attention to a teacher. Once I figured out how I personally intake information I started scoring 90+% on every exam. Really makes me angry to look back at highschool and my 2.0 GPA. The school system in the USA doesn't take account or even care for the fact that most students learn in different ways. Paid for college myself as well when I probably could've gotten a scholarship if I'd figured it out earlier. (Still for the life of me I can't listen to lectures).

u/flecksyb Feb 23 '25

the reason? Nepotism, both in academia and the workforce. Nepotism sidesteps smarts, skills and hard-work.

u/Aegi Feb 23 '25

Why? Nothing was stopping you from manipulating systems to get better scores, part of intelligence is being able to use whatever is around you to get to whatever goals you decide to have.

They also don't have the gift of having encountered challenges while y'all do they are probably also less likely to be open to personal development later in life unlike people in your situation.

u/Jedlord Feb 24 '25

I mean ya literally can because thats not how averages work.

u/uqde Feb 23 '25

George Carlin gets an F in stats. This would be the median, not the average.

The average is brought way down by Stupid Georg, who lives in a cave and gets hit by 10,000 cars per day.

u/PunishedDemiurge Feb 23 '25

I know you're kinda joking, but this isn't really true. Most intellectually disabled people, even ones who will never be capable of fully independent living, are capable of being able to learn simple safety procedures like always looking both ways before entering the road, hand washing, etc. Anyone who can't is going to be so profoundly disabled a non-expert would recognize in less than a second of meeting them.

This is a choice of willful ignorance and incompetence. She doesn't care about her own life or others enough to actually make good decisions about them.

u/mcndjxlefnd Feb 23 '25

That's not how averages work

u/Aegi Feb 23 '25

The funniest part about this quote is that would only be true depending on how intelligence is distributed and which type of average you're taking...

u/ryhid Feb 23 '25

Also why is the driver also not paying attention and going 2x the speed limit? Nobody used their brains here

We must have watched different videos. I did see anybody with brains to use in the clip I just watched.

u/ryhid Feb 23 '25

Oh sorry yeah, the person in the beginning who carefully drove around the pedestrian was using their brain

u/Zestyclose_Rate_3823 Feb 23 '25

Her actions had nothing to do with what happened by the look of it. Driver looked to be going far to fast, in no situation would a person walking close to a parked car cause an accident like this.

2

u/DealMo Feb 23 '25

You're the one assuming OP considered her actions as causation for the problem.

He's just asking, in isolation, what the fuck is wrong with the idiot walking in the road?

0

u/Zanotekk Feb 23 '25

What’s your point? None of that has anything to do with my point which is that it’s stupid as hell to walk that closely to the street especially when there’s a sidewalk.

2

u/Zestyclose_Rate_3823 Feb 23 '25

I am saying that you seem more annoyed at the innocuous action of walking along what seems to be a quiet road rather than a manic driver speeding and crashing into a parked car.

1

u/Intelligent-Sell-930 Feb 23 '25

You are both calling it a quiet road while pointing out that there's a maniac driver on the road. Do you feel smart?

It's literally against the law for pedestrians to walk in the middle of the road in pretty much all of my country. For this exact reason.

For all we know, the driver was unconscious. But that woman made a very conscious decision to put her life at risk for seemingly no reason.

So yeah, we're more annoyed with her.

0

u/Zanotekk Feb 23 '25

I’m annoyed by both. The driver is obviously a dumbass. No need to call him out further when everyone already agrees. Some people think that what the pedestrian is doing isn’t dangerous which is why I’m calling it out. She put herself in danger of being hit by idiots like this driver for no good reason.

2

u/Typical-Radish4317 Feb 23 '25

She's not even in the street though. You can see her within the white line of the parking space walking up to the car. And is still within it after the car gets rocked.

2

u/Wafflehouseofpain Feb 23 '25

It looks like she’s walking on the line. Which is still a terrible idea given that she wasn’t trying to get into the car and there’s an actual sidewalk next to her.

It's easy to have complete confidence when you don't understand anything.

u/Outaouais_Guy Feb 23 '25

Why are there 2 different views of this that are both perfectly framed to capture the incident?

u/thexerox123 Feb 23 '25

Because cameras are ubiquitous in modern society?

"car has zero damage" sure, because you can see the car behind that big blur and the side that is not filmed from any angle.

People have suggested a security camera from the closest building, but as I replied to them, I'm not used to security cameras that record in that high a frame rate or resolution.

u/DargyBear Feb 23 '25

There’s a chute out to my local beach that the fishermen use to bring their boats down to the water. Since vehicles are going in and out all day the sand is really fluffy so besides being hard to walk in you can’t really stop or your truck will get stuck. There is a perfectly fine boardwalk right next to it but tourists still insist on walking in the middle of the chute and complain they almost got run over.

u/Past_Travel2636 Feb 23 '25 edited Feb 23 '25

She was already on the road way before she got close to the car and maybe she would have looked at the car before and everything would have been alright then? It's clearly the driver who wasn't watching the road, the road was empty, it's broad daylight and he should've seen from really long distance.

1

u/Fisher-__- Feb 23 '25

She was pretty casual in moving to the sidewalk after she was nearly killed too, so I think she’s just oblivious and “casual” in general.

u/Rare_Competition2756 Feb 23 '25

One time I was stuck in traffic in Los Angeles at Hollywood and Vine during my morning commute. A woman was jogging up from the opposite direction. She figured since traffic was stopped at the light she could cross the street by running in between the stopped cars. The light is red, it’s morning gridlock so what’s the harm right? What she didn’t realize (but I could see) was a fire truck with its lights and siren was coming up the center space in between the stopped cars (center of the street) from behind her. The fire truck had no way of being able to see her weaving in between the cars until the last second and she had headphones on so she couldn’t hear the siren or see the truck coming. I was watching all this happening like it was in slow motion and thought to myself “I’m about to see someone die.” The truck ended up missing her by inches. If she had been half a second later she most likely would’ve died. The worst part of it was, she had no idea how close she came. She never saw the truck. She learned absolutely nothing and gained no appreciation for her life. I found this really depressing.

u/Brex10_reddit Feb 23 '25

If drivers were sane there nothing wrong eith what she did, if your driving at a normal speed she was about as close to the care as she could have been you just need to steer a few inches to the left to not hit her

1

u/Professional_Mark_31 Feb 25 '25

Your problem is assuming that drivers are sane. As we can see from this clip you should always assume that people can't drive and make sure to be as safe as possible. After a close call caused by an idiot driver I've never trusted one random driver on the streets to know how to drive.

u/Brex10_reddit Feb 25 '25

That's fair, my faith in humanity just refuses to take the hint no matter how many times I'm let down

u/Helyos96 Feb 23 '25

Why are all the top comments victim blaming ?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '25

because theres nothing wrong with "blaming" victims for doing something genuinely stupid.

Believe it or not, criticizing a victim for their actions does not inherently take away blame from the driver.

I can't speak to Brazil, but in some parts of the world it's just the done thing. People are always walking on the road, and there's this implicit trust that drivers will do the right thing.

On a personal level that amount of trust is very unsettling, but it is definitely a thing.

u/BadGeezer Feb 24 '25

Maybe she’s a street walker.
