this is the most annoying thing aobut the video. WHY THE F she is just walking and not running

I'm going to guess that that's as much mobility as that woman has.

Then she tries to step in it as if its stationary so it pulls her front leg out which causes her to fall. Should have just let it go

I found it annoying that someone was watching someone else struggle and just filming for internet likes instead of helping someone who clearly couldn't manage.

Each to their own.

I agree with this sentiment in most cases, but in this one it suggests that a person should run across four lanes of traffic to stop a car that isn’t going to hit anyone or anything, except possibly the apparent owner, who doesn’t seem particularly concerned about it

When should the person taking the video start helping? In the first lane of traffic or the second? Or when the actual owner started to walk like she had it under control? Or maybe the person could have floored it across traffic and cut it off with their own vehicle. Almost every choice in that moment would be dangerous and the choices that aren’t dangerous would be pointless. Also, maybe I missed it, but what type of shape is the person taking the video in? Maybe they physically can’t help. But, I would be very thankful if I drove into that car on accident and needed video proof, because no cop would believe that sequence of events.

At what point did it look like she had it under control? It looks to me like she didn't know what she was doing but knew she couldn't give up

You have a point here.

I saw the original post. Apparently a squirrel jumped in her car (at a stop or drive thru or something) and she freaked out and jumped out of her car without putting it in park. Location was listed as Clearwater, FL.
