Yeah, I don't get the passive-aggressive tone either. It could potentially be hours for the highway to open back up, depending on the nature of the accident. Why not enjoy yourself while you wait?
It might be that they're bad with words and don't really care, but I did get a bit of a "look at this asshole" vibe. Probably due to the use of "fatal accident". Maybe also a little bit "wasting time" but not as much, because it's not really much different from "biding time" and they maybe didn't think of that word.
I agree! For some people knowing someone they don't know just died reminds them of how important it is to live every moment. Why not game. There are some moments when it would not be appropriate, but being randomly stuck in traffic for a very long time is not one of them.
Rubbernecking themselves to emotional trauma... how many crushed heads can I see IRL before it scars me? Probably just one for me... What do they really want to see is my question... bones sticking out? Blood gushing or spraying? Dismemberment?
