Maybe I have become hard/bitter but (and there is always a but) I get that impression from peoples comments when someone commits suicide and they are late for work. The slowing down of traffic to view an accident, the watching someone faint or fall and walking round them or complaining that they are making you late.
Years ago when the serco van ran over the woman at the brixton ritzy, I was there to see it and was quite shocked at what I saw, the aftermath was made worse with people videoing the scene on their phones and road users complaining that things were blocking the road. I ended up getting on my bike and just riding off. Someone died and (lots of people, I stopped counting at 15) people were videoing the dead person.
There have been other experiences that make me look at people, in broad strokes, and think they are very self centered.
