I how you’re doing better, but also this sounds like the start to a fun romantic comedy or bro movie. Two strangers doing research on the best bridge to jump off of becoming unlikely friends.
You may appreciate this then. I told them it was a terrible bridge to use, citing the distance it would take to reach terminal velocity, and the surface of the ground below. It was high, sure, but the ground below was at an angle, and soft dirt. It wasn’t possible to get to the “good spot” because of how the walkway was. The chances of failure were a lot higher than I was willing to risk.
So I think I actually bored them out of it with all my planning 😅
Sometimes all it takes for them to step back, it is to be faced with having to go through with the action in detail, not just the presumed relief at the end.
Perhaps it was also the fact they saw someone in the same situation and it made them stop and think for a moment.
Either way, good on you, a life saved is a life saved. Whether through love, empathy or boredom.
