Watching someone watch their house burn to the ground when they could save it by just doing something smart. But that would mean admitting they made a mistake. And they don't make mistakes. So it burns. But by God, they managed to avoid admitting they were wrong. [insert retarded shit-eating markb comment here]
Is that kind of like the woman (who could easily have avoided the car accident) spending five days in the hospital with her car totaled and insisting on and on that she "had the right of way".
