I’ve been puzzled by this phenomenon I encountered in the U.S. for years, but this morning’s drive was abnormally challenging. This occurrence, called Rubbernecking is a frustrating experience every time it happens and unfortunately, unlike most things, it doesn’t get easier with time.
I don’t remember seeing this in any of the other countries I’ve visited, it seems to either be exclusive to America or simply more prevalent here. In any event, I don’t get it nor will I ever understand this urge to enjoy in other people’s misery and get into their business. Common sense and logic dictate that if you see someone injured or in need of assistance you should stop and help or if you decide not to do so keep driving.
Why do people slow down to a crawl just to see a car crash or someone pulled over by cops? What do they get out of it?
