Why I Shouldn’t Be Allowed In Public Places

Today confirmed my long-held suspicion that people are fundamentally exhausting.

Almost everyone annoyed me.

The child that can’t drink out of a glass without slurping loudly was bad enough - but when his parents didn’t even notice, never mind act to stop him. I swear I nearly got up and took matters in hand. I resisted - as being in Austria it may have been classed as an international incident.

Stomping girl - walking like she was wearing concrete boots, not sure why she can’t glide like the little angel that I’m sure her parents think she is. I’d happily trip her up if it wouldn’t be frowned upon. And I don’t like your purple cardigan.

I can tolerate noisy children - I can’t be doing with screaming, crying, yelping.

Children eating whilst walking should require a risk assessment, how come they can’t chew and walk in a straight line with their eyes working?

Children and food don’t mix without close supervision - I don’t want to get their sniffs and coughs and god knows whatever else.

The old guy that 2 days running now has been in my way every time I’ve encountered him. I swear if I went left he was in my way, if I went right he was in my way. Every time I look over though he is seated. How does that work?

At some point during the afternoon I briefly considered that perhaps I was the issue. I dismissed it immediately.
