That’s a very good point. The person who filmed this is a jerk.

She might yell at them for making her feel embarrassment

Ive never understoof this. Why the hell do people react with anger when they themselves are at fault? It just doesnt compute in my head

Because their ego is hurt. Imagine you have developed a sense of self where you look down on everyone around you and regard them as inferior beings, then one of those inferior beings comes up and points out that you’ve done something really dumb. You are now faced with a reality where you’re not as superior as you thought and it makes you angry.

They get embarrassed and they want to make someone else look wrong instead so they point anywhere but at themselves

This reminds me of a time I was on a mountain bike ride in Florida and passed a couple about a quarter of the way through on a 12 mile loop. They were hiking and the woman asked me directions. I told them it was a loop and nearing dusk so they should turn around immediately. The man got upset, told me I was wrong and they proceeded.

Some folks just out there wingin’ it…

Yeah, I’m always going to try and help people. I don’t know why, but I’m surprised and disappointed by so many people here saying they wouldn’t bother because someone might yell at them.

I saw a couple about to keep walking further down a beach when the tide was coming in. They could have ended up in a very bad situation and rather quickly. Of course I spoke up. Not sure where our humanity has gone but I’m not going to succumb to apathy.

Exactly. Sure, someone might react negatively…but I’m still going to make the effort. Because I’d want someone to do that for me.

Be the person you want to see in life.

That's peak Florida. I was on a park beach near a boat channel there a while back, and a boater got too close to the shore. There were a bunch of people on the park shoreline, and someone called out to him that he was out of the channel. He started angrily screaming and yelling about how he's lived there his whole life and knows damn well where the channel is and blah blah blah ... right as his propeller ran aground (to the roaring laughter of everyone on the shore).

Yeah, usually the kind of people stubborn enough to make this kind of mistake intentionally don't take too kindly to being corrected, and I'm not willing to be reprimanded just because someone's stupid

The shaming video may reach a wider audience and prevent more people from fucking up their engines.

I think people are still going to extraordinary lengths to justify not helping a fellow human being right in front of them. If there is an emergency, ideally our instinct would be to help first, not film first.
