On Saturday, I was in Caffe Nero on the Haymarket, London, and a group of teenage boys rode down the middle of the road, riding on their back wheels only with the front ones tilted off the ground at a high angle. I really hope none of them came a cropper further down the road.I saw kids speeding on the pavement with an electric scooter, two of them on it, the other day. If they make it to adulthood with their skulls intact, I’d be amazed.
And if a man did this to a female police officer?!
Here's film of it.Did you see in the news about those people there dancing on the roof of a bus shelter, which collapsed beneath them!?
I hated the debs. Going out with a load of people you hate and are stuck with indoors for yearsProms were actually a thing in Ireland when I was growing up in the 80s (they were called 'debs' though). I was dreading the idea of one but thankfully they seemed to have fallen out of favour by the time I was leaving school. They're a thing again these days though.
You are a far better person than I am. When I see idiots doing crap like this, I say a silent prayer that they do come a cropper.On Saturday, I was in Caffe Nero on the Haymarket, London, and a group of teenage boys rode down the middle of the road, riding on their back wheels only with the front ones tilted off the ground at a high angle.

And yet again, fucking tax payers will fix itHere's film of it.
I love Halloween. We spend a week going to as many scare events as we can getting frightened out of our wits. Gets the adrenaline going and it’s not as dangerous as sky diving !Halloween is shit I hate it, I never understand why grown adults get all excited for it! I understand children getting buzzing, but not adults. It’s crap
Omg less than ten minutes ago two boys nearly took me off my feet and left me on my face on electric scooters, they whacked into my arm though, I’ll show you if it leaves a mark. Fucking hell.I saw kids speeding on the pavement with an electric scooter, two of them on it, the other day. If they make it to adulthood with their skulls intact, I’d be amazed.
I actually believe that lockdown/isolation has a lot to do with this.People don’t respect each other and their spaces enough anymore which is why whenever there’s something like Reading festival you see lots of people acting horribly. I’ve seen clips of people throwing bottles of piss on each other and trashing each other’s tents. Tents are cheap and if I’d had to abandon it and other belongings because some prick threw their excrement on it I’d be pissed.
Some teens don’t even respect what their parents have provided for them. Since Thursday I’ve seen a fair few kids laughing because they completely failed their GCSEs. One boy’s gone viral on TikTok for a video he made laughing at his mum yelling at him. It’s insane how this is the next generation and this is the attitude some of them have to education.
Halloween has always been a thing. Google Samhain and you’ll find people have been knocking doors disguised as animals etc and asking for food or coins for centuries.Halloween is the biggest pile of wank. I get the kids going out trick or treating but will never understand fully grown adults, British ones mind who say shit like”it’s my favourite holiday” 1) it’s not a holiday 2)it was never a thing until we became like the Americans and it’s not even the end of august and the shops of full of crap that can only be used on
that day and piles and piles of special Halloween “candy”
In fact under the list of things that weren’t a thing but now are a thing because everything has to be a grabby consumerist orgy you can also put:
Gender reveal parties
Baby showers
Proms (fucking proms? Why?)

I have a January birthday too and it’s usually just the expectation that I won’t do anything cos it’s cold / people are skint / everyone’s depressed. It’s quite shit isn’t it cos then you’re expected to attend everybody else’s birthdays all year roundI have a January birthday so they’ve also been a bit shit. Either it’s been crap weather and not able to get anywhere nice or when I was little people using weather as an excuse not to come to my party. People use January as an excuse to “forget” it or I’ve no money/not drinking eating out this month (despite been seen on socials doing exactly that just with other people) now I’m happy enough with a delivery pizza and a new book to read because I don’t need shitty friends making up excuses.
I hate NYE too and always have since I was a child. It has a very depressive melancholy feel to it. My mum also hates, as did my best friend in high school. When we reconnected on FB some years later one if the first things she said to me was ‘I still hate New Years Eve‘. It’s definitely a thing.I hate NYE. Every year for the last decade I’ve had dreadful mental health that peaks on NYE, because I’ve had a shit decade and all that feels shoved into the forefront of my brain because everyone is banging on about what they’ve achieved, where they’ve been and what they’re going to do next. And people never talk about happiness on its own, it’s all related to and about progression eg career, having kids, getting married, money, house buying etc. fuck off with your humble brags that insinuate anyone can do anything as long as they work hard enough
The other 364 days I actually don’t mind that I don’t adhere to people’s ideas of success but NYE just makes me feel like a massive failure. And the TV schedule is shit. I just go to sleep at 10pm
Here's an account of the trouble at Reading.People don’t respect each other and their spaces enough anymore which is why whenever there’s something like Reading festival you see lots of people acting horribly. I’ve seen clips of people throwing bottles of piss on each other and trashing each other’s tents. Tents are cheap and if I’d had to abandon it and other belongings because some prick threw their excrement on it I’d be pissed.
