People are idiots, continued.

Continuing the theme of 'people are idiots': why do people, while waiting for a train, keep on walking to the edge of the platform and looking for it? Even those already standing on the edge keep turning and looking for it.
Surely having it pull up in front of you should tell you that it has arrived?
Is a train that hasn't arrived and you can't see somewhat akin to Schrodinger's Train?

Idiots.

Dude, it's the New Zealand train system. It's entirely possibly the train could have made it just around the last corner, then broken down in sight of the platform...

It's a conditioned response...some version of "I look, therefore there will be train".

You could just buy a car...there would be all new idiots to mock and ridicule but you don't have to breathe the same air as they do.
