People in Cars

Time for a little rant: a rainy Thursday afternoon, a single accident causes total gridlock around Antwerp. All traffic comes to a grinding halt and I will be spending almost 2.5 hours to get home.

And right there in the middle of that mess, someone’s car breaks down. As the driver struggles to push the car to the side of the road at least 25 other cars pass by. Not one of them pulls over to give the unfortunate driver a hand and help to clear the road as soon as possible.

Pffff…. Have we all become so self-centered that we’ld rather run over someone than get him a hand?
