Accident watching w**k*rs

WHY?????
Why do people feel the need to slow down to nearly a stop on the M25 to look at the aftermath of an accident?????????
do they really think they would actually want to see someone's claret spilt all over the floor? For Gods sake...its just added half hour to my sodding journey and it really , really pi**es me of! Some of these people are so busy rubbernecking they almost hit the people in front of them.
tossers the lot of em!
grrrr

It is Human Nature indeed. It is some sort of Morbid Curiosity. People seem to like to view carnage.
Probably the same people who would refuse to watch a heart bypass op though..Dunno why they don't apply for a job as a nurse/doc/ambulance driver/plod and get as much as they want.
And quite often these rubberneckers do indeed cause accidents, most commonly on the other side of the road.

Sod that if I've sat in a jam for 3 hours when I eventually do get there I'm going to have a bloody good look. I've earnt the right to have a damn good rubberneck, besides I need to know what happened in order to get my story straight as to why I am so bloody late 
Only joking, but that's the mentality

For some though its just more TV. Few years ago I was at Woodford air show when a spitfire crashed and exploded on impact. I had a pretty good view and lots of people came up to me asking if the guy ejected? Few of them could cope with my blunt answer "No he's dead". I got loads of "but.. bbbbut are you sure he didn't eject. 
It is very hard not to loook, I was on a bus travelling though france many years ago (I was about 10 I think). It was night and we got stuck in traffic, after sometime we came to a floodlit area on the road where there was a huge pileup, of course I could not help but look at it, until right underneath my window I saw them zipping someone into a bodybag..
Some sort of huge screen is needed to hide the accident so they can clear it up without the danger of accidents on the other side of the road.

Afraid it is human nature indeed... I saw a massive accident just outside Karachi airport. People were parked on double lane for over a mile and were running back toward the sinister site to make sure they could secure a good spot. What amazed me even more is how they look at you when you tell them that you feel it's 'bad' to be a voyeur... for them it's just something interesting - at last !
