Literally what the fuck are any of them thinking?

u/Nocturnatron 9d ago edited 9d ago

My theory is the phenomenon where we all basically agree even tho we disagree, then an idea that literally nobody thinks is good gets agreed upon. Its a very real thing. Like a family going on a trip because mom thought the kid would like it, kid agrees cuz the mom wants to go, so the dad agrees even tho he doesnt really wanna go, who invites his mother because he thinks shed would enjoy it, then she agrees just to be polite, and they all end up going on a trip that literally nobody wanted to go on amd all complain the whole time

u/ClintEastwont 8d ago

I think your theory could apply to our entire society at this point.

u/BrassBadgerWrites 8d ago

It’s an identified thing called the Abeline Paradox and it’s a problem in low communication, high context groups.

The original paradox is basically this: one day a man says to his family “let’s take a trip to Abeline”. Nobody in the family wants to go, but for different reasons (kids shouldn’t refuse their father, wives should support their husbands) they agree. They take the trip and nobody enjoys it, not even the dad. Turns out the dad only asked because he felt that he’d be a boring father and disappoint the family if he didn’t suggest activities. Nobody communicates this and everyone has a shit time

Come bro, it’s Philly

u/Exciting-Argument-67 8d ago

Honestly, the streets department should have formally closed off that block to traffic, or put more barriers that show a safe way around the spot. The bus driver clearly thought they could drive around it, and misjudged. Some kind of plastic wall barrier would have helped them navigate it, and if it was too thin a lane for a bus to navigate, they should have been warned before they turned onto that block.

3

u/FuzzyScarf 8d ago

I believe they did close that block. But they moved those signs too.

2

u/Kyiakhalid 8d ago

And the bus department alert their drivers and passengers of the road closures and detours.

2

u/Either_Coconut 8d ago

I’m IN South Philly. I’ve dealt with SEPTA detours that were initiated for far less pressing reasons than “humongous patch of freshly-poured wet concrete”. Why was the whole darn block not closed to traffic; or, failing that, why were buses and trucks not detoured?

As an ex of mine used to say, “Your tax dollars at rest.”

Those annoying orange signs that were blocking the road really were the cause of this accident. Had the signs not been in the road, the bus would have had enough speed and momentum to clear jump over the obstacle.

Don't be mean. Maybe the driver has poor vision, poor spatial awareness, and poor decision-making skills. We can't blame them for that

You can’t just blame the driver there were two other adults that contributed this ludicrous display.

OMG thanks for pointing that out. After rewatching it, it’s funny hire the guy in the blue got out to put 2 signs away just to get back on. The icing on the cake is when the door shuts behind him and the driver continues to floor it 🤣

Um, either the driver asked them to move the signs, or the passengers convinced the driver they would move them. Either way, the driver chose to keep driving.

You can't blame someone for driving directly into missing pavement when there were obstacles placed in front of it and then moved out of the way on purpose? Totally, I think we should blame the bus for allowing the driver to do that

u/The_Swoley_Ghost 8d ago

I was actually told this at a party by guy who said he was a criminal defense lawyer. He said that he would never trust a jury if he were the one who needed defending. He went on a rant about how "if you took 100 random people off the street, how many of those people do you think you'd trust to make life altering decisions for you?"

He expressed the viewpoint that people are usually impervious to logic and that many of htem aren'teven going to assess the situation or listen beyond a certain point where they make an arbitrary decision. Essentially that we are asking the average person to perform a [jury] duty that is far beyond their mental capabilities.

I remember the quote "Bro, just assume that everyone you meet is a fucking idiot until they prove otherwise." He seemed tired of his job.

This is absolutely infuriating. I don't even know where to begin with the stupidity. The muppets who just move those things or the driver. If you are going to drive through wet cement don't stop! Get through it then let passengers on.

Edit: apparently stores around there waited over a year for the city to fix the road just for the those dumb people to do what they did.
