How dangerous is it and what could happen if I don't put air in it? It doesn't look super flat....just a little low.

They care about the fact that you are ruining your tire by running on it low, and it could be dangerous as it won't handle correctly.

the worst a low tire can do is cause the tire to blow out at a high speed for example on a freeway causing you total loss of control or maybe sending you into another on coming vehicle. It my blow out some where were you don't have a cell phone signal late at night on a lonely road causing you get out and change the tire if you know how or it could just cause your gas mileage to suck from the engine working to over come the extra drag. OH yeah the tire may not look as low with you not sitting in it to the nice people warning you it may look bad from their perspective.

People are telling you about the tire because they are concerned for your safety as well as their safety. Having a low tire decreases gas mileage, you will not be able to stop as well, causing more stress on your brakes, and you could end up with a blowout. If the tire is low, fill it up. If it needs to be patched, take it to the tire shop. Just remember safety first.

if its low it can be dangerous,you'll also use more gas and wear the tire out faster...go to autozone and by a guage,adjust to the numbers found in the glovebox or on the left door

people as telling you for safty reasons.
low tire presure will cause your tire to wear out quicker, your gas millage to be poor, and your tire can also blow out due to excess heat.
