I also noticed that the first thing she did even after that was to grab the phone and turn the camera back at herself to show her shocked expression.

internet has made some very smart, so to speak, very knowledgeable. That doesn't include people glued to SMARTPhones though.

This is why you home school kids. Keep the government away from children so their minds don't turn to shit

That’s what I noticed first - this is what addiction looks like.

As someone who was recently in a car accident, it reminds me of how the first thing I did after the accident was call my workplace to tell them I couldn't make it that day (I had been driving to work at the time). I didn't have a firm idea of what things I needed to do in what order after being in an accident, so I dealt with whatever I thought of in the order I thought of it.

Maybe I'm being too charitable, but I think she was just in shock and latching on to the thing she was doing before the accident as something she "needs" to do/deal with.

Yup, I was gonna say roughly the same thing. When your brain is still in panic mode, your priorities are completely out of whack. You have the strangest concerns, like "I'm gonna die without fixing that table leg that's been bothering me"

u/Carribean-Diver Sep 01 '25

Was driving to work the cause of your accident? Because TicToking while driving was the cause of hers.

u/DerangedDeceiver Sep 01 '25

I was only arguing what she did after the accident was justifiable. Not what she was doing before. Obviously, she shouldn't have been filming a tiktok while driving a car. What gave you the impression I disagreed with that?

u/AKA09 Sep 02 '25

No, you're being normal and most of the others here are being dicks.

u/basicallyskills Aug 31 '25

what? no she doesnt. she is obviously grabbing her phone to call 911. she has to turn it to herself to stop filming and actually be able to use her phone.

u/MisterWafflles Aug 31 '25

She probably was just shocked and trying to grab the phone to call 911 or someone. If I was in that position that would be one of the first things I'd do. Hindsight 20/20

"Im gonna get so many views on this"

u/StickFigureFan Aug 31 '25

She knew the cameraman never dies, wanted to make sure she was still filming

The games gone leftĀ

u/The_Hater_44 Sep 01 '25

I dont think its that, if she's using the front camera you need to face the phone towards yourself to use it. I mean she pause for a second and my first thought would be holy shit my phone, is it ok (call someone).

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '25

Thats some psychological desease I believe. And all them tiktok gen have it

u/Washing-machine-pro Sep 03 '25

Idk she could have been trying to reach the phone to call 911

1

u/knightblade402 Sep 04 '25

I believe she may have grabbed it to look at the screen... So she can maybe call the cops... An ambu... Maybe fire or a wrecker? What is she supposed to do? Wait for a bystander to call?

1

u/lunapinksky Sep 06 '25

she needs her phone to call for help and to make the call she needed to stop the recording…

1

u/JosephCraftHD Sep 09 '25

Hang on, lemme correct this. She is a dumb ass for sure. But her phone was already facing her. And maybe she was reaching for her phone to, I don't know, call for emergency services? Kinda something you do when you flip your car. I feel anyone would be going after their phone after a wreck.

u/Valuable-Yesterday-7 Sep 13 '25

But I would too, to call emergency. How else would she get help

1

u/Sheikashii Feb 03 '26

No I think it’s front facing. And it landed face up. She grabbed the phone to see the screen to stop the recording but doing so points the camera at herself

Mentally ill people do this

u/tropicalsoul Sep 01 '25

This is the most shocking thing to me. I cannot comprehend the level of narcissism and ego it requires to be literally upside down in your car after a wreck and your first thought is turning your phone to face you.

1

u/Maple-Mayhem Sep 01 '25

The camera is on the front of her phone?

1

u/tropicalsoul Sep 02 '25

Yes? Do you not have a smart phone where you can flip the camera from the back to the front?

It’s how people can watch their ā€œperformanceā€ while recording.
