What will be your instant reaction in case you find yourself at a malfunctioning petrol pump? Or how would you respond if you witnessed a friend having trouble using the handle of a petrol pump? You might reach out to help her or call for help. However, it was not the case for this particular woman who chose to sit inside the car and record her friend who was visibly struggling with an apparently ‘malfunctioning’ petrol pump handle.
Viewers were enraged by a social media video that showed a woman watching her friend struggle to turn off a reportedly “malfunctioning” gas pump handle because the woman did nothing to fix the issue.
The user “Buddhika95″ posted the video on Reddit, which has received several reactions from online users.
Watch the viral video here:
One user commented, “Okay I’ll give the malfunction a pass, most people wouldn’t know what to do, but to chill there like you just woke up while your idiot friend chooses to FILM IT instead of help is a big ‘everyone sucks here’.”
“Nah, the parents need rework. Don’t blame the system that has been daycare for most people,” a second irate comment read.
“This should tell us that the education system needs a large rework,” a third user said.
“One’s an idiot because they didn’t go find an employee and the other one is the same and worse for filming,” seethed another.
Some questioned the woman’s “presence of mind,” but the majority highlighted how “situationally unaware” she was—sitting in the car as the fuel pump floor flooded was a serious hazard.
Some internet users also noted that the woman was more focused on obtaining a video, “possibly for internet likes and views.” However, the veracity of the video has not been established.
Although you can always count on your friends to support you in times of need, you should also remember that they will always laugh it off first, regardless of how bad things get.
In a 2024 video, a man clutching a 3V clothes hanger is seen trying to walk but failing to maintain his balance. In the video, he repeatedly tries to position the tool while walking on a wet path, but each time fails miserably.
Instead of trying to help him with his task, his friend chose to turn the incident into a humorous memory. The man’s struggle goes viral as his friend records the entire incident on camera.
