I saw another example today of sheer, mind bending stupidity that could have resulted in serous injury or even loss of life. The setting was a local supermarket parking lot.
The lot was pretty full so when this one car came to a vacant parking spot, it was like finding treasure. The driver of that car positioned his vehicle so he could back into that vacant spot. Just as he was starting to very slowly move in reverse, a pedestrian walked right in back of his car as if nothing was there.
The driver slammed on his brake so nobody got hurt but it was a close call and that pedestrian seemed totally unaware that he'd come rather close to meeting his creator.
Pete Seeger sang in "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" the lyric "When will they ever learn?"
That is a very good question.
