It is getting scary out there. In order for society to function properly, we need to be able to assume that most people are going to behave rationally. And when I was growing up, it was generally safe to make that assumption. But now things have completely changed. No matter how hard one may try, there is simply no avoiding the hordes of crazy people that seem to be taking over our society. It is almost as if millions of us never learned the basic rules for how civilized people should treat one another. Sometimes this manifests in behavior that is simply rude, other times it manifests in behavior that is actually dangerous, and if you are really unlucky you will personally encounter someone that has fully embraced depravity on a level that most of us never even want to think about.
Let me give you an example of crazy behavior that is simply rude. Not too long ago, a Reddit user posted a photograph that really freaked a lot of people out
A female plane passenger took to Reddit this week to share a horrifying photo of a stranger performing a rude act during her flight.
The woman, who goes by WoodySoprano on the social media platform, posted an image of a traveler resting their bare feet on her headrest. Though the Reddit users face is cropped, her terrified eyes tell all.
Going to be a long flight, she captioned the photo.
This woman was never in any physical danger, but this type of behavior is incredibly rude.
Who would do something like that?

why? jabba made himself that fat.
I agree that Jabba made himself fat.
However ...
Feet Dude would seem to have made a conscious decision, right there, right then, to be a flaming a-hole. I can’t see the rest of Feet Dude’s body, but I strongly suspect that he could sit in his seat with his feet on the deck and not bother anybody.
Jabba didn’t get to be the way he is (his tray table bottomed out on his gut about 30 degrees above the horizontal!) over night. That much obesity is a long time coming. He was probably at least as uncomfortable as I was. Yes he’s responsible, and he should have bought two seats, and the word “keto” should probably enter his vocabulary, but it just doesn’t seem to be a conscious decision: Today, I will be an a-hole.
Of course, I could be totally wrong ...
Easy fix: tickle his feet until he moves it
Unfortunately, yes. And have for a long time, the situation getting worse and worse since they have gotten away with it.
Another insidious trend evolving over the decades.. Punishing the Good and Rewarding the Bad.
I get it. But fat guy made himself fat and he knows every day he just keeps getting fatter and he never gives a f*ck if it ever inconveniences anyone else other than himself. and he doesn’t care.
Yeah i guess i can go either way on this one.
Ya, that's what I want, more meddling busybodies, control freaks, neighborhood nannies, rules, threats, expenses, fines etc.
Why I don’t mix or travel with other people. Fact is, I hate most of the fellow travelers on this spaceship.
Very good point. Same with guns. If a punk with bad intentions suspects someone might be carrying, they’ll behave.
He wrote it, I think, in 1939.
Real right on and frighteningly accurate in all details.
Starting????

When I was looking to buy a house, the first thing on my list to avoid was an HOA.
HOAs have been granted rights by the courts that completely ignore and violate personal property rights, and if you violate their rules, they have been able to steal people’s homes.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has noticed that same trend lately (last 10 years or so).
People who are angry vent their rage on the roads.
I’m personally sick of those self-centered idiots who refuse common courtesy and literally run good drivers off the road.
The body count associated with this behavior will only go up -as will road rage incidents.
+ 1 million
That’s what this society has become.
