Disturbing things about human nature that you probably never heard of

[Icequeen]

I had hear of these before but knew that people were fucked up long before I did which is one of the reasons I like to avoid them when I can.  The bystander one is tricky I stopped and tried to help a guy who was bleeding pretty bad from cuts his face once in college when he began attacking the car I was in and screaming at us.  That dampened my willingness to help people at times unless they look harmless.

Even then it's iffy. Old guy used to thumb a ride down the road from us all the time, harmless-looking, 70 something, grandfatherly type.

Crazy as a fucking loon with about 30 imaginary friends.

^This reminds me of when I was in the city with a friend and a group of people walked up to us. One of them asked me for a dollar to help with bus fare. So I got my wallet out and opened it. About four of them pounced on me and tried to get my wallet off me but they couldn't. I was forced down on the ground and hurt my knee pretty badly. But I kind of rolled onto my back and started kicking out at them so they gave up and left.

I asked my friend afterwards why didn't she help me and she said she thought I was messing around. Why would I mess around with people I had never seen before? Anyway since then I tend not to give any money to people who ask for it. I just say I don't have any.

       for kicking the scumbags away from you!  I have the same reason for not wanting to open my purse.

Ordinary people will do fucked up things when fucked up things become ordinary.

Oh, wow, this thread was started like a year ago or so. Now that I'm majoring in Psychology, I feel like such an amateur the way I posted the OP.

No, it's a good thread, says the amateur.

Edit: My posts are all ones.
