What Just Happened?

Things around me definitely has changed. Or were they there all along but I didn’t really take notice?

I was on my walking through the parking lot today and I noticed that an old woman was carrying a baby wheel cart. She was dragging both her feet because the cot was apparently too heavy for her. I paused and looked, wanted to stop and help but soon realized her family members were just right ahead. They were already in the car waiting for her. Why can’t they just come out and help the poor lady out?

Then, followed by a couple. This guy was walking so far ahead that he left his wife/girlfriend/sister/whoever-she-was way behind. She was carrying her groceries and frantically trying to catch up but it seemed like a never ending chase for her. And it was raining! Such a pity to see what a gentleman he was.

What just happened?

Worse, I was reversing my car from home and this another car, which was about 500 meters away, started honking right where he was, sped and squeezed through behind me. I didn’t even see that he was coming until I heard his honk. He almost knocked into my car’s rear. Can’t you at least slow down one bit for both our safety?

What just happened?

Sigh. What is happening to the community these days? Are they just being ignorant? Or are they just being plain self-centered? Sad sad. Really sad. Oh well, at least we ourselves should try to make it a better place.

Anyway, here’s a little sneak peek of my next post.
