| PEOPLE BRING OUT THE WORST IN PEOPLE. |

About 9 - 10 years ago when I worked in retail at the department store K-mart, I would dread Christmas. It lost all it's magic
and simply became a time of year where I no longer felt happy, just simply dreaded the loathing, greed and other terrible human
traits put on public display as soon as those doors opened in the morning. One time I even saw a man push in front of a pregnant
woman and sort of "bump" her fetal sack a little bit. Naturally she was a loud as possible about this, to the point where she was
quite obviously over-doing the reaction to get her way more. All this intense and heated confrontation was as simple as who was
going to be in line next. With these two "grown" adults forgetting that either way, if you don't get in first the wait is only
going to be an extra 2 - 5 fucking minutes! People become rabid beasts during holiday sales. They snatch items off of shelves with
totaly disregard for safety and total lack of respect for others around them. Maybe it's harder to observe this behaviour in
judgement when you're apart of the shopping spree itself (although I for one proudly stand by the fact I've never reduced myself
to the likes of a dumb beast simply to get an item cheaper) but when serving these animals, you can only look on in horror and reflect
on human kind. The people (mostly women - sorry folks - it's the truth) who smile and actually appear to be happy to burst under the
barely open door to a department store for Christmas and after Christmas sales make me sick and all I can try to say to myself is
"wow, Christmas really brings out the worst in people".
A clear projection of retail sanity during a time of dark economic recession!
"YAAAY! BUYING THINGS!! HELP ME VALIDATE MY LIFE OF SLAVERY VIA
THE PURCHASE OF UNNECESSARY MATERIAL POSSESSIONS!"
But then you hit the roads and drive for a while. Just any time of year. People cutting in without fucking shame, actually aware
and pleased by the fact that they're pushing in in front of everyone else as if they have some right to. Who the fuck are these
people and why do they have no shame? I only become installed with fear as I realise these people also have offspring who are
learning their moral standards off of them. I think to myself, in ten years what sense of real order will there be. The complete
lack of care, respect and morality shown in every day driving by more than 50% of autmobile occupiers frightens me as I believe I
am observant and cautious while driving. No I don't drive under the speed limit annoyingly, I drive on the speed limit, in the correct
lane and I just follow the fucking law. Remember the law people!? But alas, I become angry, grit my teeth, swallow the anger and
try to say to myself "wow, driving really brings out the worst in people".
Then you get into work and see people who feel they have the right to do as they wish and as they place 24/7. Dominant employees
who although in no position of management or authority, talk down to others in this manner as though they are. What total fucking
babboon has raised this person into the belief that their opinion is THAT important that they can talk down to others in such a way?
What piece of shit seriously walks around thinking and feeling this. It's beyond astonishment if you put yourself into this mind
set and notice how many things you do not. People who are like this are blind and arrogant and have no real place in a so-called
"system". But I swallow the annoyed feelings and try to say to myself "wow, full time work really brings out the worst in people".
Then you go to a doctor's waiting room, an emergency room, a motel, a fucking airport... it goes on and on. The realisation hits you
like a fucking wet handed slap to the face. Nothing brings out the worst in people, people are just the fucking worst.
I'm so sick of feeling like a piece of shit for being a human, but I really do. I don't even believe I carry many of these greedy,
selfish, look-out-for-number-one, primal traits. But I still feel dirty for watching equals act in this way and knowing I'm technically
one of them. Can we all just take a fucking breather and look around for a second and just realise how out of control we're all
getting. It's chaos and it's growing and I just can't take the madness of this world any longer.
The saddest part is - humans aren't ashamed of being humans - they're glad. In some deluded manner they think they are the superior
being to all other animals. When in actual fact - we're the weakest.
