When I see things like that I kind of assume there’s some addiction or mental health issues going on. It’s not typical behaviour for someone who’s well-socialized and obviously difficult to be around but I’d suspect that persons got much deeper issues and public shaming isn’t helping them.

[–] davysnavy@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago

Trust me, there are people in this world who care for noone but themselves. I think you've just been lucky enough to avoid meeting one of these people.

[–] adam@fedi.alc.im 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they just don't give any fucks

[–] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sociopathy or narcissism are mental health issues.

[–] MrNemobody@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's usually just lack of basic education. Many people in my neighbourhood would totally do that, and I dont think they all have mental health issues.

[–] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I was more saying that "not giving a fuck" could be a mental health issue and that the two aren't mutually exclusive.

[–] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She's just leaving a nice cheesy snack for the next passenger, kind and thoughtful.

[–] Late2TheParty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

🤢I hate so much about this comment. 🤮

Thanks!

The people at !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml need to advocate for these people to be banned before advocating for banning cars.

I actually don't mind banning cars, I just can't deal with being locked inside the same vehicle as a psychopath/sociopath.

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

If you are so scared of other people to the point that you refuse to use public transport then you are just paranoid. Crazy pictures and videos taken on public transport are just extreme examples, not the general everyday experience of using public transport.

[–] Reddit_Is_Trash@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I agree. I'm not going to advocate for public transportation if I take the risk of running into a weirdo like this, or even worse.

At least in my car, I'm guaranteed to not run into weirdos or gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society.

[–] Harrison@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, we are completely surrounded by gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society. Those individuals just happen to be in the government.

You will still meet invalid beggars, burglars and dirty windshield washers when driving.

By invalid, I do not mean real invalid people but those who fake it with for example apparent urine bag and the like.

Yes, I'm quite used to the "crazies" outside of my own vehicle and home. Personally, I enjoy the privacy and independence a vehicle allows.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I like your username

[–] Hank@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

That's an opinion you can have if you want to I guess.

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately that falls under a different category. Fuck cars is about advocating for good public transportation and making cities easy to enjoy without a car. You're asking for better mental health care and services for the homeless. There are very few people that would actively do this type of thing if they had any other well lit up space they could do it.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Don't forget public transport robbers!

3rd world country person checking in, I feel safer on my car, especially when it is late at night.

[–] flipht@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

You have set an unreasonable high threshold for when it's acceptable to want to change the situation.

If these people were driving, they'd be irresponsible and selfish in their cars too. Right now she's just gross. In a car, she's a dangerous weapon.

[–] beckie_lane@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

This is what I used to see on the way to work, on a good day. Fuck you San Francisco!!!!

[–] dragnucs@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

This is because of capitalism and fast pace of life. Some use transportation time to do a lot of things they can't do otherwise like sleeping, cutting nails or applying make up. Some also to work or study.

Edit: she is cutting her nails isn't she?

[–] DreamerOfImprobableDreams@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, assuming her feet don't smell I'd have no issue with her cutting her nails on the train-- if she was catching them with a plastic tray, baggie or even a napkin so they don't fall on the seat someone else is about to sit down on. But she's not doing that, which is gross and disrespectful to your fellow passengers, IMO.

[–] Bendavisunlv6@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s true. I’ve seen a lot of these things on public transit and every single time, one look at the person tells you they are not okay, not by a longshot. It’s mildly infuriating that we leave people homeless and in such a condition in the first place. The fact that they shit on the bus is really just a symptom of that underlying wrong.

[–] dan@upvote.au 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah... You don't see this behaviour in countries that treat their people well. I never had issues with public transport in Australia. Australia has significantly better support programs for homeless people and people with low/no income (including unemployment payments and rent assistance). Public transit in Australia also has far more ridership compared to the USA.

[–] Bendavisunlv6@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the US especially we also have to ask specifically, how well has America treated black people? The worst offenders I have seen on the morning bus have been black, but IMO they’re only treating the bus about as badly as they have been treated themselves. Which of those is the real outrage? The bus? No.

[–] Torvum@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, black intercity culture is completely innocent and has never harmed themselves. Go to E St Lou. St Lou even. Get over yourself and actually live the shit you wanna preach about from your textbook first

[–] Bendavisunlv6@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

I’m from Oakland, fool, so you can kiss my ass. And you mean “inner city” which is a conservative dog whistle like “ghetto.” At least spell your racist jargon correctly if you’re going to open your mouth in public.

Who the hell said black people never harm each other, anyway? Not me. It doesn’t change the reality of systemic racism. In fact when you put people in harsh circumstances they tend to hurt each other more.

[–] Rodsterlings_cig@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why are you booing them, they are right.

Edit. Above is correct.

[–] coltorl@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is no different than shaving my body hair on the train. I’m forced to leave my trimmings on the train too because my boss wants me in the office 8:00 on the dot!

Imagine complaining about getting a free view of some grippers.
