Idle pondering as I am in a melancholy mood due to actions / lack of though by others
I know everyone is different, have different thoughts and ideas, come from different back grounds etc but I am increasingly becoming irritated and saddened by other peoples actions / disregard for others / selfishness - a culmination of a lot of small things but are all adding up at present to make me quite sad.
When did it become ok to drive over a zebra crossing whilst pedestrian on other side of carriageway, forcing the pedestrian to stop?
When did it become ok to stop your car, leave the engine running, lower the window and then proceed to take a telephone call, thereby causing a tailback of traffic trying to pass you
When did it become ok to drop litter?
When did the rise of the "me, me, me" movement take place, putting these people at the centre of their universe, and trying to put then at the centre of your universe, to the detriment of all others?
When did it become ok for a professional dogwalker to take 9 dogs for a walk, all off leash, and have them roaming around a public park, dogs out of control, dogs having fun but park now empty of everyone else as they all have left
When did it become ok for people to abandon cars in cycle lanes / on grass verges / on pavements when they could simply drive a bit further, find a parking space and then walk that extra distance back
When did it become ok for people to walk around with music blaring from their phones - is that not what headphones are for?
When did it become ok for people to invade other peoples "personal space", be it either physically or through excessive noise
Etc etc etc.
Hmm, I think I may have anger issues today, but this has been building for a while now, I need a long lie down in a secluded beach I, or mountain top I think.
