Ask Lemmy

Just people in general who are unaware of how their actions affect others negatively, in any and all aspects of life. Especially when out in public, of course. At the grocery store, at the mall, in the parking lot, while driving, when talking, when online, every goddamn thing.

There are countless small things that are simple to avoid yet cause significant inconvenience to others. Or on the flip side, simple things to do, that would mean very much to another person.

Just think about your surroundings, treat everyone with kindness, respect, and give them the benefit of the doubt. Be welcoming. That's what makes/would make the world go around, and a nice place to live in.

But people live in their goddamn individualism bubbles and are completely oblivious. Sometimes people will be walking towards me in the street, perhaps two or three people side by side. And they'll fucking walk straight at me and I'll have to literally stop in my tracks to avoid colliding with them. Literally a few feet apart will they realize we will collide unless they change their trajectory. Mind you they won't apologize or realize they inconvenienced me. No. No, they'll just realize that they need to swerve unless they want to collide. And I know they see me from afar, because sometimes we'll even have eye contact and shit. Idiots.

People, man. Why it gotta be this way. 🤌
