This is a short rant about the behavior of the general public from my point of view. Some of the chosen vocabulary in this post is not recommended for kids and those that are easily offended. So… let the games begin 🙂
Common courtesy is no longer common, folks. In fact, for many, there is no effort made to even acknowledge that they are in public among others. In others words, THESE PEOPLE ARE DICKS!!! (To put it nicely)
I have to go into public – grocery stores, banks, food joints, etc. While it can be argued that it’s possible to stay inside my home and never have to leave for anything, I’m just not going to be a hermit and attempt to stay holed up and out of touch with the rest of the world. But the asshole level in “everyday society” is such that being a hermit doesn’t sound too fuckin’ bad. Time for people to remove their heads from their asses and learn to get along with others while they are out in public.
You don’t have to like anybody you see when you’re out there. You don’t even have to be truly friendly. But please, make some sort of attempt to behave in a manner that keeps someone like me from wanting to punch you in the face. Pay attention to the fact that you’re not the only human being in the store or on the road. There are many others out there trying to get from point A to point B and accomplish some task or other just like you.
So, don’t just stand in the middle of the fucking grocery aisle staring at the shelves or thumb-fucking your phone and act like you’re the only one in that aisle, or the whole fucking store for that matter. Get the fuck out of the way for me and others. At least pretend that you’re not a complete ass-hat. That could lower my desire to disembowel you with a wooden spoon.
When you drive, try to remember that there are other motor vehicles out there with you. I know it’s hard to trust others to drive “properly”. But you not using your signals, or trying to run out a lane that’s closing, or running a light is not helping the rest of us trust, either. Again it’s amazing the amount of assholes that have acquired licenses to drive on public streets. Why don’t put the fucking phone down, leave a little sooner so that you don’t have to rush and for the love of (insert deity here), REMEBER THERE ARE A SHIT-TON OF OTHERS OUT THERE ON THE ROAD WITH YOU?!?!?
Instead of behaving in a manner that dictates you should be locked in an outhouse and set on fire, please, have some consideration for others while in public. Quit acting like an entitled, snot-nosed piece of shit. Even if you don’t make someone’s day by behaving better, you’re sure gonna help NOT make it worse.
Thank you for possibly considering this a public service announcement…
