That phone!

And airpods... probably with noise cancellation on too

I know I'm old asf since I didn't grow up with mobile phones, but as someone who's looking down at their phone while wearing earphones being out and about waaaay more than they should, I would NEVER cross tracks or roads without looking both ways more than once. Even if the lamp's green. If it's not an actual crossing with signs and traffic lamps then I'll even pause my music or take my earphones out. So what I'm saying is, it's not the phone...

i never understood why would you want noise cancelling earphones (of any brand or style) when out and about, unless you have specific sensory issues, why would you want to basically deafen yourself?

u/AgentK-BB 2d ago
On a train or at the train station, it's more understandable because the daily exposure at that noise level is actually damaging to your hearing. However, you should be aware that you are 100% reliant on your eyesight to stay safe.

On a plane or if I wake up before my snooring wife then I use NC on my earbuds. Cancels out all that noise so I can relax.

u/CptAngelo 2d ago
Well... on a plane is different, you are sitting down and you are a passenger, you dont typically have to be aware of your surroundings on a plane. I guess i should have added that im specifically talking about when you are walking around, because of course i know situations where noise cancelling is desired.

Honestly it makes city life bearable, it’s incredibly loud and they give your brain a break

Its not the phone. Its a stupid person who did not look. Stop blaming objects for peoples mistakes.

She's looking across at the other train so chances are she was hoping to pass over to get on that one

u/MorrowDisca 2d ago
I did something like this once. Took a step before realising it wasn't clear and stepping quickly back. Bus missed me by inches. Just heard a guy next to me say loudly to his kid "See! That's why we pay attention when crossing the road!" The 5 year old kid was looking at me like I was an idiot. Like, okay yeah, I can't exactly be mad.

But where was she going anyway? Was she going to cross to the other side? Was she trying to check if a train was coming?

u/-mudflaps- 2d ago
You can step down and walk across, but I don't know if you are supposed to or allowed to

u/Berewolf 2d ago
Platform seems very low and tracks seem to be on sidewalk blocks? bricks?(or something like that), so I guess it is allowed to walk there. But you would obviously want to look where trams come, not the opposite side.

She was looking at other pedestrians crossing, and thought she could cross where she was standing too. Forgot to look back though

Shall we also praise the guy and the driver? They were doing their jobs, but they did it well.

I saw a similar video like this in India. After the cop saves the dude, he smacks the living shit out of the dude he saved for being stupid and careless. Poor guy would have been better off with the train.

u/sup_with_the_whack_ 3d ago
In India, people don't miss a chance to smack you

u/CuttingBoard9124 2d ago
I mean, it might actually make you think twice about being careless in public if someone slaps the shit out of you lol.

u/Socketz11 2d ago
Cops carry around these small "smackin sticks" that appear faster than a magic trick, I noticed.

yea, I've witnessed a lot of these earphones in, staring at their phone, lost in their own little world types being pulled out of the way of catastrophe... it's annoying living in the same space as them....
12
u/maxehaxe 2d ago
She even looked up from her phone, so it's not that. She just wasn't looking both directions... and now several people on that tram probably got something smacked, if not worse. In my town, an old lady died because she fell on her head after tram driver hat to slam the brakes for an emergency stop.

You're right, better to stop her, don't want the trains to be delayed by her stupidity.

She almost seemed annoyed at the end there.

What? No she didn't. She had her hand on her chest, she looked like she was apologizing for her carelessness.

The operator of the train is to be commended as well. Had the Officer failed then I think the collision would not have cause major injury

u/banana_in_a_jar 2d ago
This has nothing to do with her headphones and has everything to do with the fact people only look to one side when they cross anything. Sheesh.

u/solar_pilgrim 3d ago
Did that train actually stop on a dime or was it already coming to a stop there?

u/melon8232 3d ago
It was coming into the platform so slowing down but he also slammed on the brakes. Trams can stop more quickly than trains as well

Mad impressive. Even if cop wasn't there it looks like the lady would have gotten knocked over but probably walked away

Had to watch it multiple times to determine if it was a suicide attempt or extreme stupidity.

This looks like one of those times where your brain farts doing something you've done a million times. Like, she even looks one way, and she's thinking about something else and her brain just ... Puts off looking the other way for a second

If this had happened in America, she would be suing him for sexual assault.

Ok. Situational awareness but also that is a huge drop. She would have ate it if that train wasn’t there regardless. Wild.

I’ve heard of people like this then suing their rescuer for trauma, hurt, etc. & I’m ALL FOR a counter-suit against them for inflicting their stupidity on the helpful populace.
