This is a particular passion of mine. What is wrong with people that they simply do not know how to behave??
I am not sure about at what point in the evolutionary process that humans stopped believing that its is in fact civilised and stopped waring with their neighbouring tribes and started to behave in a more refined way by just complaining behind closed doors about where they parked their car in the street or how they have let the garden go or really need to cut the branches on their tree as they are encroaching on our property, but at some point we seem to have relegated in the social evolutionary process and now it seems you only need to step one foot out of your front door and you are smacked in the face with rudeness and inconsiderate animals.

One only needs to turn on the TV, around 6.30pm for a viewing experience which is guaranteed to reduce your IQ level by at least 10 points by watching A Current Affair of Today Tonight and watch these people go at it. Neighbours taping each other as “evidence”, spraying each other with hoses and verbal abuse most unfit for a 6.30pm timeslot, not to mention the physical violence, and the issues they seem to fight about are as benign as those which were once discussed at the kitchen table of an evening which resulted in the shaking of the head and a realisation that not everybody is as good a neighbour as you and you simply leave it at that – alternatively you might consider going next door, and try this UNARMED and ask the person who has parked over your driveway for the third time this week ‘mate, do you mind moving your car, it kind of pisses me off when I can’t get into my driveway’ to which your neighbour would happily respond ‘no dramas, probably a bit pissed when I got home and didn’t realise – speaking of which, do you want to watch the footy down the pub and have a few beers on Saturday?’…….ahhhh the old days.

So my observations are that whether it be where you live or simply when you are out and about conducting the every day activities we all have to endure, there is a distinct lack of attention being paid to the way that ones actions and behaviours have on the people they come into contact with.

People don’t give way when driving, but they won’t even give way when on a footpath! Public transport is nothing but a moving nightmare. I can not stand it, and it forces me to ask people to pull themselves into line – I have decided that this is the problem, nobody says anything! So one dickhead at a time I am going to tell them and improve standards for the benefit of all.
