Endangering other's lives for fun! Yay!

I don't get why this guy is celebrating this. What is WITH these idiotic people who think it's "okay" to endanger someone else's life so long as they have fun and they themselves don't think it's "that bad a risk"?

No, you NEVER HAVE PERMISSION TO ENDANGER MY LIFE JUST TO GET YOUR KICKS, EVER! That means NO running up to me and punching me in the face, no driving by and shooting me with a paintball gun, no various fake-outs meant to make me fall down in an attempt to avoid you, no DRIVING A ROOMBA THROUGH TRAFFIC just to pretend you are playing frogger, ignoring the fact that people could get into a serious accident.

Rule 2, you aren't even allowed to damage my STUFF just to have fun.

Why do people think "it's fine"? Do they really have any idea what people actually have to deal with? Ugh, this stuff just sickens me.

Here's a fun idea. Let's kidnap you and torture you for a few years because I think the look on your face would be hilarious. We could post it online, and people would LAAAUGH, and if you bother pointing out all the pain we'd say "oh yeesh take a chill pill it's just having fun".

This on the other hand is great. Doesn't hurt anyone at all, and it's frickin' awesome unless you did this to someone else's bike without their permission.

And I'll just let you know something. If they had actually gone to some abandoned race track and a bunch of willing folks were the ones driving around, I wouldn't have issue with it. Same with the paintball stuff and so on, fine if the people are willing to have it happen and agree to it. That's just having fun. If you don't have what's needed to do that, don't do it. If for some reason the psychological part of it where you NEED the other person to not see it coming and be terrified (or in this case, just something more innocent like surprising people), then you need to get mental help. That's not healthy.

Let's do illegal stuff and then tape it and put it on the internets!

And that's always a smart thing to do too!

"Officer! I can explain! We were trying to have fun!"

It seems unlikely that if a Roomba was run over by a car that anything bad would happen, but its possible I'm sure... (in fact, in the article it did get run over, and didn't cause an accident...) Still though, the point is correct. Just because something is unlikely doesn't mean that it's impossible... (and when people are drunk and decide to do something stupid, they're more than a little likely to not just stop at "this could possibly do harm in some rare circumstance"...)

I think the problem would lie more in the potential for disaster caused by a driver suddenly swerving to avoid hitting it.

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, that's probably true.
