Hi,My Dad used to work for British Rail in the UK. He would come home with some funny work stories , but would also get quite angry about others.
The worst reaction he ever had was to people comitting suicide by walking in front of busy commuter trains.
According to psychologists people choosing this kind of exit want to cause inconvenience and shock in as many people as possible.
Of late there have been idiots killing themselves in front of a media audience. Either DIY with a webcam, or in front of new crews.
The thing is - the delay to trains was not what got my Dad angry. He got upset because the poor train driver could never stop in time - and ended up feeling resposible for killing someone. Even if that someone was a self involved wanker.
I guess this new media suicide doesn't wreck an innocent persons life. Unless you count the affect on untold idiots who insist on watching the clips themselves.
Personally I read the web-page but never watch the clips. I prefer my dead losers to remain un-witnessed.
I just felt the world get lighter.

I hate people who commit suicide by driving into other cars, thereby taking a few relative innocents with them.
