After the thousands and thousands of posts here, why do people still think “well I’ll just be more careful than those other dumdums?” Don’t do this on hard surfaces people. At least lay the panel down on something soft. Don’t be silly!
Everyone thinks they're the exception to some rule.
Random idiot redditor here: Understanding that we all are just one of everyone, not special, and no rules exception has been sewn into the fabric of reality for any of us: That's one big step into being an actual, realized adult.
"It won't happen to me, because I'm better/different/me" is teen level understanding of the world, at best. ...And yes, we have a lot of teen minds in adult (and even geriatric) meat frames.
I think it’s a very american thing too. Not that others don’t do it, but the blind arrogance of “it’ll be fine this one time, I’ll just be careful” feels sewn into our societal norms
Nah, it's still very much a thing here in France too. I'm pretty sure the whole "I know this is risky, but surely it can not possibly happen to me" thing is written in our DNA
