I got my car back. Yay! My checkbook has a dent in it, but we should be ok.
On to the post. What's wrong with people in general these days? I don't know how it is where you live, but people here in Tampa...are dickholes. Little straining ones. So, if this doesn't apply to you and your locale, just give it a pass.
When did everyone decide they themselves were the most important thing ever created? That they didn't have to worry or think about what might happen to other people as long as their own self was okie dokie fine? Um, I'm speaking about people in general, I am not actually associated with anyone who acts in this way. I don't think. :)
I'll go with an easy example most folks should relate to. Driving! There's always at least one road in every place where people act like total idiots. Today when I was waiting in the turn lane to get into my abode, there were 2 cars in front of me, and a line waiting to get out. Traffic rules say my lane people (goin in) were to go first. The guy in front starts waving the other line of folks waiting to go out...out. (I actually thought this was pretty nice. I do this sometimes as well, if they were waiting there before I pulled up.) I mean, it set me back from getting home by maybe a whole 10 seconds. Anyway, the second guy in my lane, starts frantically gesturing, all wtf? like. All the going out cars are -just- out and car #2 guy decides he's just gonna go, fuck who ever is in the way. The nice car #1 guy starts going at the same time, and they come about 2 inches from a nice smash up. All because guy number 2 couldn't wait 2 more seconds to get home.
What about people who treat you like shit because you work for them? Does being an employer make them a better person? Does that make the employee a total slimy slug? Well, some might be, but I am not. :p Neither are most of my co-workers. What made the boss think he is better? His education? Yeah, he pulls that out sometimes after I correct his grammar. Or when any of us low-lings do something that threatens his Godliness. Whoop. Didn't really mean to make this a boss rant. Moving on. (But he still sucks)
What about clients/customers/consumers who have never had to work a day in their life? You get to treat the working people like dirt, why? Or even if they do work, why be an ass? Why be a selfish prick? Seriously, would it kill people to smile at other people? To look at someone else and ask how their day is? To be freaking civil?
What gives people the idea they can do whatever they want to whomever they want? Kill people, rob people, violate people in any way...what makes someone think this is okay to do?
What can even stop it? Make jail a really shitty place? Punish people more severely? It seems people used to be afraid of the wrath of god, or at least of official type people. Is it because most organized religion is in the crapper? There's no one to punish them in this life or in the after life? It seems scumbags are just permeating everything, and there's not quite as many good people out there. Or maybe there's a lot of neutrals out there, that just want to ride through it all and hope nothing happens to anyone they know.
I guess, I am just tired of all the selfishness I keep seeing, all the stupid crap going on every day, that might go away, if people just did unto others as they wanted done to them. Yeah, biblical quote, but it's a good'un.
Whew, I think I am all out of steam for now. So. To end this, I say, I hope you had a wonderful day today, and I would love to hear all about it.
Big smile, hugs, smoochies and all manner of nice stuff to you all.
