Are people blind? Like, how do you not notice certain things?

Is it that thing where people see only what they want to see, and ignore everything else?

At work, vending machine, people put in 3 quarters, machine gives money back, gives no coffee.

Why?

On the touchscreen, Exact Change only. I said, maybe the machine wants exact change. Their response, and where do I find that at? I said, right there on the screen where it says Exact Change only 🤦‍♂️

It's almost like people who drive behind me. We're doing 45 mph, maybe 47. Coming up is a 40mph zone, I start slowing down. Them? They start coming closer. It's not until the first hill while still in the 40 mph zone do they slow down, to 35 mph!!

Are people ignoring speed limit signs and literally creating their own speed limits and zones?? It's so ridiculous anymore!!

Tney didn't see it. They are probably just bust all the time and don't have time to stop and smell the roses. I'm a lot different now that I don't work compared to when I did. That's how I know.

@Spoiledbrat Well the thing of it is, they push the screen to bring up the drinks menu, then they move themselves in front of where the coins go, then they start pressing the options on the screen. It's like they have tunnel vision or something. When I'm at that screen, I see everything on that screen.

I'm busy all the time to, but I can't imagine it's that much work to notice something so simple. To just move your eyeballs, can't be that hard, can it?
You remind me of my husband. He is always complaining about people like how tney drive. I think it's because heks always under the gun and has to deal with them every day. @twiigss

@Spoiledbrat Yea, it sucks when you follow the rules of the road, and people are passing you on a double yellow. Or people are tailgating you, or people can't be bothered to stop at a stop sign, or people think yield means zipper merge at a traffic circle.

When you do it everyday, it gets annoying. And no cops in sight.
