Start parking on verges, destroying what was once green and pleasant and blocking wheel and pushchairs? (“Their problem, not mine”)

Just abandon my car in road or forecourt to get a coffee, causing huge tailbacks / not allowing people to get throw or round - I mean, I put the hazard lights on whilst I went to get it so you can hardly accuse me of lacking consideration!

Throw litter on ground - someone else will pick it up for me / I pay my council tax (honest!)

Park in disabled spaces without a blue badge - after all, “I’m only going to be half an hour”

Not pay for any public transport, just use and if I get stopped I’ll just assault whoever as they’ve no right to physically stop me

Shoplift from supermarkets because the owners “can afford it”

Do whatever I want, wherever because I have my rights and responsibilities are for losers

Order stuff and claim it’s damaged / didn’t arrive so I get to keep

Go on holiday with my ill gotten gains

Basically lie and cheat at everything to get ahead and in the pursuit of money knowing I can then buy my way out of any situation and screw everyone else who’s life I’ve devastated?

…Just some of the now rampant everyday occurrences I’m observing on a scale like never before. It’s everywhere, and seemingly everyone.

You should see how they behaved in 1066. Shocking scenes.

There have always been unpleasant selfish oafish twats around, but the perception is that these behaviours are becoming more common-place. :(

We've got some of that around our way.

Typically a London thing I suppose ???

Everywhere, and not just delivery drivers. These are Trades, Mums even Pensioners just doing whatever the feck they like albeit I’ll give the latter a pass because they probably can’t park in the disabled bays for the able bodied oinks not giving a flying **** about!

Ruislip used to be a decent high street.
Now what with chavs, gypos and undesirables that crawl their way from the tube station, polluting as they go, eventually congregating at the local lido.
Or as one lazy hack called it, London by the sea!!

If you get more people working from home and ordering more stuff online you're going to get more delivery drivers, so more parking incidents.

There is also more traffic, same space so parking issues bound to be getting worse.

Littering has always been a problem, indeed it was arguably worse in the 70s and 80s when fagbutts and dogshit were everywhere, and it was commonplace to see people luzzing rubbish out of car windows.

That said, even allowing for my growing intolerance of people as I age, there seems to be more evidence that selfishness in society is on the increase.

My son told me he thought he was going to die on Friday afternoon when he was in a queue of stationery traffic at some temporary lights on the A272, looked in his rear view mirror and saw a woman heading straight for him at 50mph. By the grace of God she turned her wheel at the last split second, so fortunately my son's car simply bounced off the van in front before ploughing into a tree. A total write-off, road shut both ways for a couple of hours, but he escaped with cuts, bruises and minor whiplash.

Whether she was on her phone or checking on her two toddlers strapped into the back of her car we will never know, but clearly something was more important to her than looking at the straight road ahead of her.

West is BEST
Absence of effective consequences and oven-ready excuses such as ADHD and neurodivergence are a problem.

Coupled with the third-world standards some immigrants bring with them.

Lack of accountability and failing standards will literally be the death of us.

And let your dog shit on the floor because you’re a sadly bastard with no friends (well, one best friend) to let kids tread in it and walk it through the house that costs too much money every month.

I misread your post first time around - I took it as congregating at the local dildo. :blush:
