Netizens Confused Over Footage of Man Using Phone on HDB Ledge Meant for Air-Con Compressor

My cousin Joel is really brave… and reckless. He seems to idolise the notion of being a real daredevil, and as such would always make sure to live life on the edge.

“If you’re not living life on the edge,” he once said to me. “Are you even living?”

Suffice to say; his words cut deep.

And yet, despite the persona he has so painstakingly cultivated in recent years, my cousin Joel still fails to hold a candle to the real badass, who just so happens to live in Singapore.

Now you might be wondering; who? Who could possibly overshadow a character like my cousin Joel, whose namesake met such a grisly end? Well, lest you’re indeed wondering that…

Wonder no further, as I present to you…

You’ve heard of the phrase “Living life on the edge”. Now make it literal, and you kinda have the gist of this article.

And no, I’m not kidding.

Just yesterday, Facebook page SG Dirty Fella shared a video on the social media platform, wherein a man could be seen sitting precariously on the ledge of the 6th floor…

And just chilling.

The 23-second clip also features a segment where the camera pans towards the ground, presumably to showcase just how dangerous it was.

Not that the guy seemed to care though, judging from how nonchalantly he was behaving.

Netizens Attempt To Figure Things Out

The post has since gone viral, garnering over 250 likes & reactions, as well as 751 shares at the time of writing.

111 comments have also flooded the comments section, with the majority speculating in a humorous manner.

And though one offered a plausible explanation…

It still came across as a tad too much, considering the situation the man was in.

Regardless of the reason, however, one is advised to call the police upon witnessing such situations.

This is because the act could potentially put the person in harm’s way.

Plus, though the notion of ‘living life on the edge’ is hardly a negative one…
