Took Graeme to the Pure Gym today.
Disabled spots in the carpark were taken so he struggled to walk further.
Two nice guys got into one of the cars in the Disabled spot nearest the doors.
Fit young specimens laughing away.
Lovely boys.
I thanked them for using the space.
"No problem" was the reply.
An apology would have been classier.
Anyone have the pleasure of knowing them.

Seems to be the norm in society these days, but much more prevalent at Pure Gym. No reasoning with folk like this, just b*llends that are entitled.

Did you report them to the gym management?

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

That would be a good course of action. Might also prevent you from getting a punch in the puss?

Not an excuse but the Pure Gym parking is regularly a farce. Cars parked on pavements and in boxed off areas.

Hope Graeme got on well regardless of the idiots who could`ve just parked at TK Maxx and walked along the road.

Yep.

If he tried to punch my pus he would likely have got a flying lesson.
I don`t think it was likely that he would have a go at a grandad assisting a person who could barely walk, in front of a security camera.
It did amuse me imagining these thoughts going through his mind when I took the photo though.

The self-entitlement of some people (under 25s roughly) really does seem to have gone through the roof.
Things seemed to have improved after Covid but now that it is a distant memory it seems worse than ever.
The world really has changed and not always for the better.

It is sad the way society is heading and it`s not limited to young people in my experience. There`s a fundamental lack of consideration and respect for others in all walks of life that was almost non-existent when I was growing up. It`s especially noticeable in schools, where indiscipline is the norm rather than the exception. Even in primary schools, there are instances of kids verbally abusing or physically assaulting staff and they`re allowed to carry on as normal with no sanctions because exclusions are frowned upon.
Education begins at home, or it used to, but some parents abdicate their responsibilities. I shudder to think what my father would have done to me if I`d got into trouble either in or out of school. Inculcating societal values into kids at a young age will usually mean they adhere to them in adulthood.
