There’s nothing to see there, please move on
Most people are busybody curious, particularly Malaysians. They like to know things which are not related to them. And they like to argue, and flame each other for reasons unknown to me. Perhaps they want to become popular? Or maybe achieve that sense of satisfaction for flaming someone? Or perhaps they think that they are the only people who are right in this world….yeah right, maybe when nobody is left in this world.
And there are also people who love to stop when there’s an accident across the street. They are willing to spend that extra seconds, just to fulfill their curiosity. Problem is, they don’t realize the people queuing behind them are not going to wait for just a few seconds extra… it’s going to be a very bad jam!
Maybe people should stop wasting time on such things. You gain nothing by stopping in the middle of the road to look at an accident…… you might, however, get a broken car boot if the car behind you don’t pay attention. You also gain nothing by flaming other users online, or shooting down other people in a meeting. The only thing you gain is a bad reputation, a lot of enemies, and a lot of precious time gone.
So why bother? Stop all those time wasting nonsense and move on with the things which are really important.
There is really nothing to see there, just move on with your life. (I changed HERE to THERE just in case people think my blog has nothing to see)
The idea of this articles comes from – Rubbernecking.
P/S… i only slept 3 hours in the last 36 hours. Rushing project and won’t be able to post up long articles this week. Sorry for that.
I wondered about that too. Now I think I know why. What do most people think of after they drive by an accident scene? They go, “Ooo, I’m glad that didn’t happen to me. Aren’t I such a lucky person? Yes I am so lucky.”
People crave to feel good about themselves. Sometimes when you have a dead-end life, the only way to feel good is to extract satisfaction from seeing other people’s suffering. Rubbernecking fulfills that need. The worse people feel about themselves, the more this seems to happen.
Btw rubbernecking does happen in the US but its nowhere near what it is in KL. I was half an hour late once because everyone was slowing down to see a dude change his flat tire. As I said, the worse people feel about themselves….

You do have a point there. I guess there is a group of people who think that way….but I believe most of them are just being busybody…and some are trying to see what’s the number plate.
A friend of mine was at an accident scene, and the victim was dead…lying on the floor. A lot of people surrounded but only few bothered to take something to cover the body.
ah i hate that…
the jam is horrible too because of the thousands of busybody
