I saw three bits yesterday.
First went to buy some Minky clothes pegs from The Range. But every tub of them had the selophane top punctured and pegs removed to presumably top up the tub people had chosen to buy.
Second I went to pick up my son from the station and popped into Morrisons first. As I had just gone in some overweight middle aged bloke starting legging it out with two full bags and an alarm going off behind him. He was going pretty slow due to his and the shopping weight. He was chased even slower by a middle aged Morrisons woman. I thought she either won't catch him or be able to stop him anyway. I fleetingly thought about going to help her but didn't in that split second. Should I have?
I then took that thought into my third instance. Drove to the station car park which was very full. I managed to get a space. But couple of minutes later the roads round the car park became grid locked. Cars were hooting. I got out of the car to wait for my son and could see some bloke sitting in his car in the road effectively just waiting but blocking the traffic. Perhaps cos of two above I decide to tell him he shouldn't stay there. He was blocking the way and cars were queued back to the entrance. He wasn't having it. Saying a car could get past him etc. 5 minutes later my son turned up and he was still there. I said you have to move now mate. He said get a poiliceman. I wanted to kick his car. But didn't.
How much should we get involved in this sort of stuff? Should we just stand aside cos it's not worth the aggro? I probably only said something to that guy cos I weighed him up physically which maybe shouldn't be a factor either but it is. |  |

Frankly, in the last ten years, that sort of "I'm alright, to hell with everyone else" attitude has exploded, fuelled by sneering of the media, by politicians, call it what you will. Look at that scrote Lee Anderson, or indeed the repulsive Marjorie Taylor Greene in the States. "I'm going to say what I like, and if you don't like it, tough."
Just once, I'd like to see someone say to either of the above, or to Farage, Musk, Trump, Johnson, Braverman, Truss, whoever: "Excuse me, but just who the hell do you think you're talking to?"
These are the sort of people who will demand we look after our own, and then hurl abuse at Marcus Rashford when he tries to do exactly that.
And in my experience of dealing with the public, most of it comes from those older than me, than younger - and I'm not exactly in my first flush of youth myself. Those who say to people "Respect your elders" seem incapable of giving respect to others.
I'm not saying for one minute that all youngsters are angels, because they're not, but I do think a lot of people having a pop at them need to look at their own behaviour sometimes.
I still think that the overwhelming majority of people are good kind hearted folk though, but unfortunately I grow doubtful of that as time goes on. |  | | |

Car parks bring out the worst of humanity, especially at the hospital where you can drive around for half an hour before finding a space. The amount of people who think they can just stop and wait for a space is amazing. |  |

My view, don't get involved, you never know what the person is capable of doing, unfortunately this type of behaviour is becoming more common in all walks of life and we all need to just walk away. |  | | |

Driving in particular is bad these days, people cannot wait - will stop all traffic to force themselves out at a junction, block whole villages to park their car, then people go crazy when you use both lanes at roadworks and filter in, even though there is a massive sign saying use both lanes. |  |

This makes me think of the old Sid Vicious quote.
Tony Wilson asked Sid Vicious, when he produces his music does he think about the man in the street? He replied "I've met the man in the street and he's a C***"
Sid didn't often get things right but he was bang on there. |  | | |

In your second case a side step and an “excuse me” would probably have slowed him down long enough. |  |

I take an opposing view. Call them out, they might think twice about doing it again. The more people that let antisocial behaviour pass the more acceptable it’s deemed, to the point it becomes normalised. Littering is one that winds me up, I always call that out when I see it. |  | | |

Always flash headlights if driver of car in front discards litter, especially fag ends. | |

Littering and fly tipping is rife in the UK. I have been to Disneyland Florida a couple of times. That site is massive with a freeway of endless lanes going into it. The place is heaving but you don't see any litter anywhere and whilst I have not been all over the United States I have been to many places and the roads and verges don't have anywhere near the rubbish you find on the A14. I really don't know what is the matter with people these days. They have no pride in their Country at all. But then when you have the Royalty and members of Government behaving as they do how do you expect others to behave. |  | | |

Littering is nowhere near as bad now as it was when I was a kid. At school we used to go litter picking and we'd come back with tons and tons of the stuff, now when I walk down the street there's barely any litter to be seen. | |

Indeed - for dog sh1t to turn white - it had to be left lieing around for weeks - simply doesn't happen anymore. |  |

Yes. As I've got older the list of things and people that wind me up is endless. I make Victor Meldrew look like the Dalai Lama. I've also realised that this isn't good for me. I'm not confrontational so I ended up getting even more wound up. I now try and accept that lots of people are gits and there's nothing I can do about it other than laugh about the absurdity of it all, and get on with the things in life I can control. |  | | |

White dog sh1t was because the food back then was full of calcium
I’m surprised people might think things are cleaner these days, I think everywhere is disgusting |  |

That's because you're getting older and people look back on the past with rose tinted specs. | |

This week, in Aldi, Europa Way:
A family in a van in the car park, woman was loading the van, man in passenger seat obviously took offence to what she said to him and slammed the door open onto her so she fell over, then he stormed off up the road. She jumped in the van and zoomed up the road after him with a toddler on the front seat, no seatbelt. 🥺 She drove too fast for me to get the numberplate. 😡 |  | | |

One of these days I’d like to throw their butts back through their window. It bugs me too. Some scrotes the other week drove out of the car park and left piles of Macdonalds packaging - they’d obviously just dumped everything out of their window. Scumbags of the highest order.

Drive throughs should have to print the reg number on all the packaging. Lazy, scruffy little scrotes need to be made to take responsibility for their actions.
Litter would be one of my top priorities for a government. It's broken window theory - sort the small stuff and standards start to rise. [Post edited 16 Apr 20:39]

These days the A12 for example is full of Mc Donalds bags and ten tonne of other crap.
I will say that dog sh1t isn't as prevalent but litter was no where as bad as it is now.
And how the hell would you know, you weren't even there. | |

Was walking towards my local shop last autumn when a youngish chap threw his rubbish out of his car window onto the pavement. I saw red, unusually for me, and promptly threw it back into his car.
Let’s just say words were exchanged and he got rather annoyed when I stood my ground, arms folded smiling at him. Once he realised his mate wasn’t going to get out of the car as well, I got another gob full of abuse and they duly drove off.
Now I wouldn’t have done it as a rule, but it boiled my piss at the time. Detest littering. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Great idea about the car reg numbers.
I am also a believer in the broken window theory. | |

I was a child of the 80s and Thatcher's children wouldn't know a bin if it smacked them in the face, no sense of social responsibility you see. | |

Maybe it's just me, but I can't remember the last time I saw anti social behaviour, unless you count some of the shenanigans that some football fans get up to. But even that isn't what it once was. [Post edited 16 Apr 21:48]
