We all have our Eccentricities
What is your weirdest pet peeve? Myself, I like the Rocky Horror Show, but I dislike all the shouting at the screen and throwing things. Dress-up's fun, but it's just not necessary to talk over the whole show.

	People who'd rather have somebody save them, solve their problems, that kind of thing. People who think God will do it, or the police, or the heroes. /Somebody/ will do it so they don't have to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh. Yeah. That. Y'know, one of Mom's sociology books talked about this study where if something terrible seems to be happening to a person right in front of somebody, she's 30% more likely to be saved if it's in front of just one person than in front of several people. Because if she's in front of several people, everyone just stands there wondering why the other people aren't saving her.

	I believe it. In the Triangle it's more like 97%, but it doesn't mean I won't try and help. Otherwise it'll be giving up. (Reply to this)(Parent)
