This is why you should always have a narcissist 'friend' around.

You can just say they did it and they'll take all the attention. :)

If I pull the lever and immediately jump in front of the trolley, this could work

You just need to save their life and run away before they have the chance to thank you. Seems to work for a lot of superheros, Maybe spiderman has a lot of social anxiety and thats why nobody can ever get a pic with him.

Is pulling the lever again an option if it starts to get annoying?

I would save their lives, but only under the promise that no one is to make eye contact or thank me later. If anyone does, they get tied back down to the tracks again and have to wait for the next person to walk by the switch as a trolley approaches

Depends on how long I have tp talk to them.

😕
