Got stuck at a red light and I can’t believe how mean people have become

[Anonymous]

I think men, in particular, have lost sight of what it used to mean to be a man. Chivalry is dead, most men think nothing of being rageful. So many men are selfish, impatient, with seething anger always near the surface. And most of them have bellies, beards, and tats. I think fat men hate themselves and take it out on everyone around them.

In Florida some years ago, someone pulled over to help a person who appeared to be a stranded motorist. The stranded motorist poured gas all over the man and set him on fire. I think of this every time I am tempted to stop and help.

Sorry for your ordeal, OP. This is why AAA exists.

No. I weave in and out of traffic because people camp out in the left lane and I need to go around them and the only place is to the right.

I am a very kind and helpful person who would stop to help OP if I could.

No reason to ignore the rest of her experience. We need to confront this problem and not ignore it.

I was frantic trying to figure out what was going on and call a tow and deal with the baby, who was melting down in the heat. I wasn’t holding up traffic or anything so people weren’t actively mean but there were several people who walked past and barely glanced at me (particularly several different young men), though I was clearly in the middle of crisis. A young woman and an older couple ended up stopping and offering to help and we got a tow. I was so grateful to them.

I’ve stopped myself to help people before and so was pretty shocked by pretty young, able-bodied people actively ignoring me. People can really suck.

Young men are taught to not interact with single women because they are seen as a threat. “I choose the bear” remove that line? But now you want men to approach you to “help”. Can’t have it both ways.

Op was in a very dangerous and stressful situation for her self and others. No one knows what’s going on when there is a big stoppage ahead.

Car goes dead on river road or Georgia Ave or independence during rush hour?
She’s lucky no one crashed.

Fix your car soap and maintain it pristinely going FW.

Yes, she had to wait 90 minutes by herself. The agony!

I actually think people are generally helpful and nice. I got caught in a huge unexpected thunder storm and several people stopped and offered to drive me home.

In your situation, traffic is so terrible and anything that makes it worse stresses people out, so you were probably getting the brunt of that.

I hear ya OP!
People are definitely rude ➕ seemingly only concerned about themselves.
They seem to lack empathy too.

Everyone also seems to always be in some type of hurry.

It’s so sad the world we all live in today.

I am sorry for what happened to you.
People suck! 😡
