Did you ever not interfere with someone's stupidity in order to see what happens?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (25005points) 3 months ago

For example.

I was playing Gauntlet in an arcade, and was fighting a dragon. A kid showed up, and put a whole roll of quarters in, and attached the dragon head on. I was curious so I said nothing. The dragon breathed fire and killed him in three seconds. I had to go so I gave him my character, and moved on.

Did you witness something similar?

I can’t identify with your question because I don’t play games. Do you have an example not involving game-playing?

@smudges Not off the top of my head. If I think of one I will list it.

You mean like watching someone put habanero sauce on their taco.

signage said it was hot.

His face turned red and he started to cry about 15 seconds after biting into the taco !

I watched someone eat foam packing peanuts from a shipping box because someone told them they were starting to use real peanuts.

Lately, it seems much of American politics is like that.

But I guess I am interfering by actively opposing them and voting.

When I was working, we had a motto:
How do you fuck the managers you don’t like?
By doing what they want!

We would see their intent, and often tweek their designs to make it work. Or not if they deserved it.

Yes. There are people here on Fluther who make such fools of themselves, I see no need to intervene.

A long time ago I went to the grocery store near work to get a sandwich for lunch. I saw a Mercedes backing up at the same time that an old Chevy stationwagon was backing up from the opposite side of the row. I wanted to see whether the Mercedes would keep going (as though the driver owned the parking lot), or if it would yield to the other car. He did not, so the two cars ended up backing into each other. Turned out he was the VP from my work. He moved his car to a spot next to the Chevy to assess the damages. I pulled into his former spot, hid my badge, and ran into the store to get my sandwich. My bias against Mercedes drivers was confirmed.
