"How do these people get through life ???"
LOL... Usually by NOT progressing from the shallow end of the gene pool during their "Learn-To-Swim" classes..... LOL....
Seriously though, we've ALL seen things like this, haven't we? IMO, a basic human trait is what I call "Eddie-Syndrome"....( Not to be confused with Ed Zachary Syndrome.) "Eddie-Syndrome" is the result of giving someone the tiniest bit of knowledge, often incorrect, and that someone then becomes an Instant Expert. As in "Eddie the Expert!" (I have been guilty of this at times as
well, like most of us... LOL...)
When we come across situations like this, my philosophy is to quietly try to advise against the dangerous things they are doing, and if they choose NOT to listen, I just walk away. A LONG way away. You can lead a horse to
water, but you can't make it drink!
