Probably been said before, but... everything. Everything is annoying me at the moment.
The world definitely seems so much angrier these days and not a day goes by without me having someone undertake or overtake me at 50-60mph on a normal 30mph residential street. I've even stopped tutting with it all now.
More and more cars than ever going over red lights too and way, way after the lights have turned red.
I have also noticed a really massive increase in the amount of those cream chargers about. I take my dog to the park very early in the morning and always see loads of them around the Wallace and the Shepherd. Discarded balloons everywhere too and then when I get to the park, there are stacks of them and loads of empty boxes everywhere.
Putting aside any health implications, I now also wonder about the environmental damage and harm to wildlife. These balloons aren't just going to biodegrade are they. Massive increase in them now on the city's streets and in the parks.
The other thing too, is litter. It is now getting absolutely ridiculous. People seemingly now just discard everything without so much as a blink of an eye.
They just casually flick cigarette butts onto the street and pavement, toss empty beer bottles and takeaway wrappers out of car windows and just drop sweet and chocolate wrappers to the ground with no thought.
In town the other day I saw some woman walking in Broadgate, take out at a piece of paper from her handbag, read it and then casually rip it into little pieces while she was walking and just let them scatter to the floor as she walked off. She was about 10 feet away from a bin.
There just seems to be a 'I will do whatever I want, whenever I want' culture about.
I see it all the time.
Lack of empathy, lack of care, lack of consideration.
Ohhh.....and happy Father's Day.
