This is most people unfortunately. Just observe a grocery store parking lot and their behavior with the carts.

This and the shopping trolley problem prove that people only do good things if they think they’ll be judged. Take away that judgement and their true colours shine through.

u/Simple_Device5226 8h ago

The shopping cart is honestly the perfect example of this. Minimal effort required, yet people still choose to make their laziness someone else’s problem

There are plenty of other examples, I’m sure. Y’all are still humans and humans can suck.

yeah my friend bailed last minute on a reading fest once too

u/Few-Cheesecake5175 8h ago

Yeah, that can be really frustrating, especially with something like Reading Festival where you’ve probably made plans, bought tickets, and arranged everything around going together. If they bailed last minute, I can definitely see why that would stick with you.

Lotsa scumbags in comments here supporting this trashy behavior wow.

We live in an era where many people now think that their problem is someone else's problem.

u/t0talnonsense 8h ago

That’s literally not what’s happening. At all. OC asked a question. Other people answered the why. Just because I can understand the thought process behind someone being an jerk, that doesn’t make me a jerk or mean I agree with the behavior.

Are murder mystery writers inherently murderers because they can write from inside the head of one? No. Because we recognize the difference between understanding something/someone and agreeing with them.

Jessica Fletcher seems like one!

u/vinyljunkie1245 3h ago

Between Jessica Fletcher and Miss Marple I can't work out which one is the more prolific serial killer. There's no way that every place they travel to just happens to have a murder that they conveniently frame someone for solve

They are left because a charity collects them

u/Krull88 8h ago

Which charity? Because everything i can find has multiple organizers claiming its not true and they just get tossed.

Reading Festival Salvage via Reading Voluntary Action they allow charities to collect use or resell.

Sense of entitlement*

Entitlement implies they're actually entitled to it.
