This country's going down the drain, I tell you

I was in the gym yesterday evening. It was a very nice workout, thanks for asking. I got nice and sweaty on the treadmill and pushed quite a lot of weight around. I completed my abs workout and then had a very pleasant time in the sauna and steam room. I was having my shower and overheard a couple of guys talking. They were arguing about a bike. One of them was going to meet a girl in Newnham later that evening and wanted to borrow the other's bike. He wasn't keen on making the loan so the first guy lost it. He ended up by saying that he was just going to steal a bike.

I'm fucking fed up with attitudes like that. The ungracious little twat couldn't see that borrowing his friend's bike would seriously inconvenience him in spite of his friend explaining why that was the case. Next, he thought that his own plans over-rode not only his friend's but that of a random stranger whose bike he was going to nick. That stranger might have been relying on the bike for transport to work the next day. He didn't think of that. All the moron was bothered about was going to see this girl. I hope she gives him herpes.

A few years ago, I lived in Hull. I bought myself a little Metro. It was local authority blue and bum-basic but I really liked it. One evening I went for a drink after work with a couple of colleagues. I'd parked in the pub car park but came out to an empty parking space after I'd had my lemonade and lime. Some fucker had stolen the car. I reported it to the police and to a very uncaring barman who really couldn't have given a flying fuck. "Car been stolen? Nothing to do with me." I got a call from the police later the same evening. They'd found the car in another pub car park. Some complete and utter arsehole wouldn't fork out the three or four quid for a taxi from one pub to another but would rather completely ruin a stranger's day by nicking their car. Arseholes and fuckwits. I despise them.

I know there are more good people than bad around but the bad ones make me so fucking furious. I'm fed up with them and fed up with being fed up with them. I'd really like to shove them all off somewhere where they can't inflict their thoughtless and casual criminality on the rest of us. Let's turn the Isle of Man into a penal colony.

You so right. Waited in a line for 1 hour at the RHS show. A women comes in a pushes right to the front, over 100 people behind me. Had to say something but felt like a total moan for pointing out how rude she was. Wanted large Eagle at the stall behind me to take her away and eat her.
