Feeling Misanthropic Tonight

Desmond79

While waiting for my sponsored walk; I wanted to direct an Estate Car trying to reverse out; but the old man driving couldn't steer for toffee. (and I thought I have issues with my steering) Then, on the way home, I was passed by a 'Raging Ron' in a white Peugeot Minivan who ended up constantly held back by the SUV in front of us; which he tailgated. I did flip the bird at him, after he passed me.

Pi$$ed off doesn't begin to describe how I feel. I try to do a good turn, and the general public treat me with contempt.

Their loss, I guess.

  • Definitely their loss. You're a good person and good people are often treated badly.

    I don't drive, I'd like to but I live on my nerves and anxieties. I go out with my sister and mum and constantly see horrible people not stopping at lights and beeping horns. 

    Maybe one day I'll learn to drive but for now I'm happy walking.

    Sometimes I'm too hyperfocused to salute in thanks, but most times I do.

    I messaged a Local Councillor about the need for marshalling. The place the charity walk was for is run by an astute marketer and canvasser; she would make the perfect Spin Doctor/PR Rep. However, the main focus was using the dual-seater pedal bike they let Charles and Camilla use when they visited a fortnight ago.

  • Hmm...well what gets me while driving is the lack of a wave of thanks when I let someone out so then I don't wave for the person that sits behind parked cars to let me past. This got me thinking though, maybe the people that don't wave a thanks to me are probably annoyed they didn't get a thankyou before....catch 22 ......stay sane out there,its a minefield.
