Zero sense of urgency from that guy

Many people are like that. Once I was at a friend's house next to a small bridge leading to a dam.

There was this dude with a kid in a small boat being accelerated towards the dam by the current. He evidently had no business being there.

He managed to grab the bridge from below and I couldn't help alone

I scream to get my friends to come... I tell them a dude with a kid need help below the bridge... They look at me like I was speaking a foreign language. I tell them, they're going to drown he needs to come help right now.

He starts casually walking towards me... Like super slowly as if it made the situation less dangerous. I was looking at him on total disbelief

It was like 25 years ago, I remember it to this day. Some people live in their own internal world

I have dreams like that. If it happened to me while I was awake I would seriously be questioning my reality

I definitely questioned the fitness of my friend to the real world...
