      If the end result was anything other than "getting out of doing my job", I would have a very different opinion of the likely causes and drivers of the question. If a person falls and gets hurt in the street in front of your car, do you...

      • Drive over them
      • Stop and wait for them to heal
      • Stop, get out and help them

      If you have empathy, you assume you will get out and help, within reason and legality. It you are lazy, you'll just stop and wait. When you have empathy with someone it implies that you feel their pain - that would not be expected to result in you risking your job to not help them. That's neither logical nor an expected emotional response.

      And if the reason that they didn't think through the fact that they were being lazy is because they were being lazy... it seems to circle around to the same thing no matter how we dice it.

      I'm not saying that they have zero empathy, only that it doesn't come through as the main driver of their actions.

        There's at least a fourth option, drive around them.

          That, too, would be quite lazy - assuming that there was any empathy.

            Dude, that guy fell and got hurt right in front of us. I feel so badly, I really feel for how badly he is hurting and something worse could happen to him.

            Want me to stop so we can help?

            Heck no, I'm not getting out of the car to help someone!

                          I'm watching the film Zero Hour about Stuxnet and cyber warfare.

                          I've never heard of Nitro Zeus until just now.

                          A program that has the US gov't completely inside of Iran's entire infrastructure... holy hell - how are we not at a much bigger war?
