| So earlier today, me, my mom, and my sister got in a car accident. My sister was unhurt although my Mom had to go to the hospital (thankfully, no serious injuries) It was one of the most shocking and traumatic moments of my life. Turns out, a teenager was speeding at 50 MPH. But she was very remorseful and was crying and turned out to be a nice person. But then three people drove by. Each one of them rolled down their windows and laughed. They laughed. I was pretty confused at what they were laughing at but I eventually realized that they were laughing at us. They laughed and drove off. They saw my Mother on a rolling bed being put into the ambulance car but they didn't care. As long as it wasn't them. There were even cops on the sidelines but they didn't say anything to those people who laughed. The city I live in (i thought) to be a very calm and pleasant place, but obviously there are cruel people everywhere. You guys ever experienced anything like this? |

| It was so traumatic that you had to make a post on MAL about it? *raises eyebrow* I am not sure that I would call those people sadists... cruel/strange is more along the lines I would think of. Perhaps the laughter was not because they were making fun of you, but a natural reaction to the shock of a car accident. Most people do not find the idea of a car accident amusing when it is brought up in conversation, so I think it is unlikely that is what they found amusing. |

It was actually several weeks ago so I'm fine now but I found it irrelevant to say that it was several weeks ago because it doesn't really matter what day it was. But... anyways, I still hated those people. I was hoping that they would crash. |
| Do you, or your family, have any qualities that might normally make you laughed at? Otherwise it was probably just a nervous reaction. Still somewhat strange, as I have never heard of that. |

| That sucks bro, seriously. It honestly baffles me that some people can be so cruel. Like how the hell would that asshole like it if he got caught in an accident? Friggin pathetic. And ya, my mother's ex husband was pretty cruel, especially when he was high, almost broke my leg once. |
Scud said: SavageSmickey said: And then you were the sadist.I was hoping that they would crash. X) That was at the time. I'm sure anyone who got laughed at after being in a car accident would have some evil thoughts. |
SavageSmickey said: It was actually several weeks ago so I'm fine now but I found it irrelevant to say that it was several weeks ago because it doesn't really matter what day it was. Uh huh. Sure thing. :\ |

Uh huh. Sure thing. : Who cares if it happened yesterday or a month ago? The point stands still, why the hell would those passerby laugh at people in a car accident? I just don't get it. I wouldn't call it cruelty or sadism though. |

But giving him the benefit of the doubt, I still think it was as I said previously, a response to the shock of the car accident. |

| Yes,I have meet a sadist.This bitch named Life. |

| Truth is, until you find yourself in that kind of situation you can't actually know how the people who's having the experience feels, and can't fully empathize with them or just don't care. I don't think those guys were sadist or cruel or something like that. You don't really know if they were laughing at you, maybe they were talking about something funny while they spotted you and your family, they decided to stop a while out of curiosity to have a better view of what happened but couldn't stop laughing at whatever they were laughing at first. OR they were immature assholes, but that doesn't really make them cruel or sadists either, just immature assholes. Also, as someone already said, it doesn't really exist a city that is calm a pleasant. And yes there are cruel people everywhere. |

| first, that is not a sadist, a sadist would do this for pleasure, and it usually wouldn't be emotional pain, but physical. second, someone laughed? big deal, no need to post it on here and get sympathy from everyone. |

| Nope, I have met cruel people but have still yet to meet a sadist, I've met a masochist not sure if that counts. |

Scud said: I'm not sure I could describe any city as a 'calm and pleasant' place. Mississauga yo. |
| I got quite the chuckle out of this actually. |
| Well were they teenagers? Being a teen myself, I can tell you that a lot of us are looking for amusement in just about anything. I've laughed at inappropriate things myself but never at someone in physical pain. |
| It's not hard to find some cruel people in the little town I live in. Even if it is "sunny happy pleasant CALIFORNIA" which is all a lie. Except the sunny part. Maybe the heat turns people crazy over here.... |
| Kpop ruined me ~~~~~in an anime rut ~~~~~ |
| So exactly whats so funny again? |
 |
| Nope, only masochists who love to make things painfully difficult for themselves. |

U Perv. @OP, So you're saying that 3 different people drove past and each of them laughed at the scene? Surely they must've seen something to make them laugh that was actually funny? This is just a guess but maybe they say 2 cars in a tangle and 2 women drivers and thought "lol, women! When will they learn to drive?" Just a guess. |

So is it funny to laugh at an accident just because the drivers are women? Just saying... @The subject: I once met a kid that was extremely cruel, he used to throw with rocks after animals and so on, once he caught a sparrow and squeezed it till it died, what's even more sick is that he was so proud of himself. |

Personally, no, I don't find women drivers getting in to accidents funny, unless it's something like this But I was just trying to give a plausible explanation for what happened based on some of the stereotyping we see of women drivers. |

Holy Crap O_O what the....? Anyway, SavageSmickey's case seems different, the ambulance came and they sill laughed? And the cops, no matter what, isn't their job to clear out the area? especially of troublemakers. Something feels out of place here. |
| Maybe the three guys knew the girl who caused the accident :O I haven't met a sadist (not that I know of), but cruel people are everywhere and they don't even notice they are... |
| I have a friend who literally cannot help but laugh in awkward/serious situations. But that's more down to a really weird nervous reaction rather than being a horrible person. |
 |
| Yes, there is quite a few people I know who could be considered sadists and cruel people. People usually think I'm one too, but that's not true, most of them just have mistaken a lack of empathy with cruelty (and maybe it's the same with the few supposedly cruel people I know, I'm not sure). |

|
| Not yet, but then again those kind of people tend to stay away from me >:) |
| After finding a pair of handcuffs in my sisters room, I've come to the conclusion she must be a sadist. That said, I don't think it's the same as what this thread as alluring to.... |
| I've met people who try to be cruel only to fail miserably before me. |
 |
| Yes. I forgot the doctor's name, but she stuck a swab down my penis. If that isn't cruel, I don't know what is. I found it hard to pee for the whole day. |
| Indeed, schadenfreude is a very ugly characteristic.They sure as hell wouldn't have found it funny if the same thing happened to them. |

| Never met anyone like that. |
 |
Not yet. |
| I'm sadistic do I count? |

| My ex-bf. Which is exactly why I ended the relationship. |
