Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers... Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.
As someone who worked in a gas station for 24 years..

I’d do it. I’d suck it up. I’d make some damn good friends along the way and then I’d never maintain those friendships and feel guilty for the rest of rest of my life. “Just call him, dipshit. He’s going through a divorce! Just go fishing! Pleaaassse! Ok, here goes. Tomorrow.”
But maybe you wont stop it in time for some of them, so then the families of those few in the front that died will forever hate you for not stopping it slightly sooner.
"So, as I was saying officer, as I am not a trained trolley operator I didn't knew the lever was a mechanism for it to do thinks, so I watched in horror as it approached the... (tries hard to hide smile)"
I like to think I'm an introverts extravert. Most of my friends are introverts and they seem to like having me around, especially in busy social settings since I can act as a barrier to help manage the mayhem. I will gladly offer my services to the introvert who pulls the lever.
has it become popular to be a complete social inept? i've never seen so many kids that can't handle basic human interaction as i have in the last 5 years. WTF?
Why are you seeing so many kids for the last 5 years? Do you have a representative sample size?
I feel like getting a feel for how people in society actually act from memes is a dangerous game. I think the point of them is to push passed hyperbole so that people laugh at it, and then share it with friends.
Or, specifically, I can't stand the people who constantly post about how they have social anxiety in a public place for attention (which seems like the opposite of what they would want) and have this whole persona of a "smol widdle sad bean 8c I'd wather wet people die den tawk to dem".
I've had to deal with a lot of toxic, manipulative people who use their identity of having "social anxiety" as a way to manipulate and control others. "I am so weak and tired from talking and anxious, we should go back to the hotel right now and if we don't I'm going to throw a fit!" Doesn't matter if it's the funeral for their partner's dad and said partner hasn't seen their family in years because they live far away and it's really important for them to get closure, naw, the anxiety is more important so we gotta leave NOW.
So yeah, I don't like some socially anxious people. And I hate people who have attitudes like this comic, because for some people, it's not hyperbole, they are that selfish and self centered.
