A couple's car gets stolen. They post to Reddit with the headline, "Car was recently stolen out of our driveway and we realized it twenty minutes before work started on a Monday." Really? That's the headline when your car gets stolen; that you might be late for work. Have you so deeply foregone your personal identity in favor of your employer that you care more about how your car getting stolen affects them than how it affects you? Or are you worried that you'll get negative points at work for having the temerity to have your car stolen? Either one of those is profoundly disturbed. And not a single comment in the Reddit thread picked up on it. Because it's not weird to us, Americans. That is a normal way to think.
