Marcus Aurelius:Sure its funny now. It wasn't so amusing back in the switch from horses to gasoline.
/those poor horses
Back in 1971 I was working at a Sunoco Station in Shelburne Falls, MA for the summer. Guy pulls is (full service back then) and hands me a can of "oil." I assume he wants me to put it in the crankcase.
When I go to open his hood he goes nuts, jumps out of the car and starts screaming at me "are you stupid?" Apparently I was.
The car was a Saab (and apparently pretty old). It was oil meant to be mixed with the gas as this was a two-stroke engine (like a car powered by a chainsaw engine).
Learn something new everyday.
Also, LOTS of inbred people live in Western Massachusetts.
It's surprising what people don't know. Didn't she notice that the car operated differently from any gas vehicle she's every driven?
I helped a middle-aged woman pump her gas a couple of years ago because she apparently had never done it before. She was looking at the instructions on the pump like they were in hieroglyphics. "Can you help me here?" "Sure. First of all, never use the yellow one. That's diesel."
No. We have a pandemic exploding in the US because of stupidity. I don't need to see minor league stupidity like someone unfamiliar with a car trying to put gas into it.

Me the moment she opened the trunk.

But as he said in a later post it isnt mean spirited to secretly video tape and laugh at a stranger instead of just offering to help them.

yakmans_dad: Quit filming everything,. Start being human again.
Are you suggesting one should maybe step out of one's car, approach the poor woman, and offer assistance? I could see that.

But if she comes back and tries to do it again *after* it's explained....

What, and get tazered or shot because I'm a scary looking old guy?

Pocket Ninja: I'm absolutely certain that the person cackling like a hyena on his own video isn't a monstrous asshole in real life.
Further down in the tweet thread, there's a video where she gets helped.

To me, he sounds like a chip having an epileptic fit.
Evoked visions of Beavis and Butthead.
But yeah, still funny.

And think of the poor cars with hay thrown onto their engines.
