    I was at the supermarket today, almost no food! I made a comment about how I could see it soon that people would be breaking into cars if you left a bag of shopping in it while you went somewhere else. A lady nearby told me that last night a friend of hers had come out of the supermarket with one bag of shopping in a small trolley, she wheeled it back to her car and as she went to unlock the car a man ran out of the darkness, grabbed the bag and ran off!
    Have we really sunk so low now that people are sinking to these levels, it makes me ashamed to be human.
     
  2. Me too man! I am absolutely appalled at the way certain members of the public are behaving! Do people not realise that while they are filling trolleys with everything that is not nailed down that there are those unfortunates who are being left with nothing to buy? The level of selfishness being displayed is an absolute fucking disgrace!

    ..... And all because that evil witch Thatcher ( phth, phth, phth) told us that there is no such thing as society !!!

  4. Absolutely! It's at times like this that a sense of community and fairness should be prevalent, not the every man for himself and fuck the rest of you that seems to be the order of the day! Some community minded people are doing their best to ensure the old and vulnerable are coping but it does not seem to be the majority.

    Eugene: Last night a vehicle was broken into--toilet paper and anything of value was taken. It's started and only will get worse, I'm afraid.

    Selfishness comes from fear though. People just scared.

    fear is right. I know people who think the corona is just a distraction, from something even bigger. Which it could be, but I don't want to get sick, and who knows what. I'll try to avoid contact, for as long as possible.

    Yeah, I asked for tofu and they told me they didn't have any. :(

    I didn't think anybody liked it.

    I'm a plant-based eater. I asked for tofu, as it's a protein staple in my diet. They said there was none. :)

    tofu can be substituted with wet cardboard.
