I don’t think I complain nearly enough, considering the sheer volume of nonsense to be righteously irritated about. There’s the weather, naturally, and then there are other people, who never fail to find new ways to annoy me. There are politicians, a perennial source of vexation and then there’s the mattress that some dirty bollix, possibly in a failed attempt at glamping, dumped last night at the disused quarry round the corner. We’re in the middle of nowhere for gawd’s sake.
In my exceedingly humble opinion, people who deposit their detritus on other people’s doorsteps should first be flogged and thereafter banished to an island. Such individuals clearly exhibit anti-social tendencies. They are enemies of civilisation, saboteurs of serenity, and have no business mingling with decent folk such as me, and you, of course, dear reader.
I’d also exile those who spit in the street, jump queues, fail to control their children, and any man who dares to wear elasticated waistbands in public. There’s nothing so unbecoming.
You may regard these misdemeanours as trivial, but to my mind, they sit atop the slippery slope toward the downfall of society itself.
Research suggests that a single broken window in an empty house, if left unrepaired, soon invites another. Likewise, one bag of rubbish dumped by the roadside quickly multiplies. It’s simply human nature; disorder begets disorder. We need to weed out the antisocial elements before the contagion spreads like a virus. Come to think of it, we may need several islands.
And for the record, I have serious doubts about the existence of viruses.
