Was walking through parking garage with a few others near me and some guy comes flying through the garage like an a-hole. He parks then starts walking where the few of us generally cross paths with him. A lady who was close to him says “hey you really need to slow down in this garage” he looks at her and keeps on walking without any acknowledgment.

On one hand I thought good for her for saying something. On the other hand I thought that was stupid bc I’ve seen too many stories like that end with someone dead and is it really worth it to say something? Am I really going to change this morons outlook on driving courteously in garages?

But it made me think when do we no longer have a society? When I was growing up there was never a shortage of people willing to lecture you and put you in your place. Now, it just doesn’t feel like it’s worth it.

Are you complaining about there not being enough people to check others while you sat idly and needed a woman to check someone for you?

You need to stop starting threads.

If it helps you feel better - I believe our society will actually improve if you stop posting here altogether.

I guess the answer is yes. Can't get over the answers you got. Those sort of responses tend so show the lack of courtesy and respect for others that is becoming so common.

It's not. People will shoot you, get arrested and be out of jail before you are even in the ground. I don't say anything to anyone about their driving

Well we're certainly not a homogenous society.

The country went to hell when we stopped shaming bad behavior.

Women are generally quicker to chirp, because there’s not much of a chance they are gonna get their arse beat.

It's definitely worth it, just make sure you can back it up should they decide to engage.

Not trying to be political, it does seem society took a quicker nosedive in the early 2010's and signficantly dropped after Covid.

Life has become so fast paced and ADD. We're always connected, getting pinged constantly by notifications, messages, calls, emails that people dont take the time to slow down and savor the moment they're in.

It's a constant dopamine drive of social media reactions, porn accessible at your fingertips, games scientifically built to suck you in...

It's only going to get worse the more things advance. I'd love to move out to the country and be on my own with the land, away from all the frantic chaos of society.
