On Christmas day years ago, I was driving behind a very old lady who did this. She probably didn’t drive much and had likely never seen a roundabout before. I remember her white frizzy hair and the back of her SUV was packed full of presents. She got jostled around quite a bit when she hopped the curb, but she committed and drove straight over it. lol

3·1 year agoI had a roommate like this as well, it’s both frustrating and sad to see someone like this. He did things like go to the ER when he had a mild cold (in the US) because it was the weekend, instead of waiting a day or two for a family practice to open. I think he paid ~$700 and his attitude was basically, “well, fuck me I guess. This would happen to me.” I tried to explain that he was in control and he chose this outcome, but his mind was made up on the matter. It was bizarre.
I’m really curious about what causes this. It sounds like it could be psychological, biological, or maybe a mix of both. I hope this continues to get further research.
For anyone else who is curious, the text was edited. Here’s the original.
