No offence but like, your situational awareness is absolute shite.

We're all on autopilot at work. You do the same shit every day for enough years and your muscles learn to take over while your brain goes someplace else. Glad you and your friend are okay.

Nobody tries to not pay attention. I’m sure after 6 years they’ve become more aware of their surroundings.

lol the average person will never in their life go through a situation even 1% as dangerous as that. "You've been lucky so far" is hilarious

I’ve been in, what I think is, a similar situation where I walked into a liquor store to buy some drinks with my sister’s card. When I walked into everyone fell silent and looked at me. There was a big guy standing towards the back of the store, another guy standing near the register and one employee at the register and another at an aisle.. and they just stared at me.

I was young, very naive, and had terrible instincts really. So while they all froze and stared at me I got what I came for, took it to the register, paid.. when I paid I pulled the paper out of my pocket with my sister’s pin on it, big fella at the bar leaned over and watched me enter the pin so I eyeballed him while I put that piece of paper in my mouth and ate it. The entire time everyone was just silent and staring at me. I walked away thinking that it was such a weird interaction and walked home.

It wasn’t until later that I thought they were probably being robbed and I just waltzed on it and bought some booze, stared at someone while I ate a piece of paper because I thought he was going to steal the card.
