Just a few examples from the last few days, which have got me thinking people are getting ruder and more wound up than ever. I hate humans sometimes.
Last night in Tesco petrol station, while next in line at the queue to pay .... a late 20s woman comes in, pushes in front of me then asks the cashier "are there are fcuking public houses round here?"
Cashier says: "Excuse me, what?"
She says: "Are you fcuking deaf, public houses."
He looks at me, a bit worried.
I say: "Pubs" back to him.
She butts in with with "What the fcuk's it got to do with you, you cheeky sh1t?"
I feel obliged to shove her out the door as she raises her hands, presumably to slap or grab at me.
Next example:
Woman cuts me up on the dual carriageway, forcing me onto the grass.
30 seconds later, she does the same to a Kangoo van driver.
She then pulls off into the city centre, cuts two more cars up on a roundabout then gets to another roundabout, gets in the left lane but goes right, cutting up the bloke in the correct lane. They have a wee crash. She doesn't stop and continues driving into a shopping centre car park, followed by me, Kangoo man, the bloke with a dented wing and two others.
She parks in a disabled space when she isn't, tells us all to "fcuk off" then goes into the shop. Plod is called, who waits for her to return to breathalyse her. She kicks off with him and is promptly arrested.
Final example:
Shopping the other night with the missus, a bloke tw4ts her with his trolley - he's walking toward her, then veers into her path.
All the missus says is "ow", then holds her leg.
The bloke says "well move your fcuking ar5e next time", not realising the red-faced, about-to-explode bloke coming up the aisle is her husband (me).
A few stern words and a wee threat turn him from an aggressive ar5e to a coward, but what a bully in the first place.
These kind of things seem to be happening on an every-few-days basis.
Is it the area or Britain in general these days?
