Be ready....

 Where I reside was a life choice. It's a sleepy little town with low crime and almost zero violence. I like it. It is a complete contrast to the urban areas of inner and outer Birmingham where I grew up and lived for forty years.

But this said, there is always the occasional wanker who might just be out to try and ruin your day. I experienced such an asshole today.

Minding my own business he threw verbal abuse at me for pulling up at a petrol pump he wanted to use, apparently I should be a mind reader and understand that although he was facing the wrong way and turning around, I should have know he was next in line. So acting all tuff he verbally abused me. For about 5 seconds, then he stopped. I wonder why that was. Well, he was faced with an imoveable force greater than himself, an imoveable force that is no stranger to being accosted albeit not that often These days and, as is the norm he turned to mush. Altercation over and he never got hurt.

Ok so my little story, whilst being dead set true is one thing but, it got me thinking and raised a few questions.

The small town I live in is under development and is set to grow quite substantially.

Q,  so will this mean more assholes?     A, quite probably.

Q, Will there be an increase in crime and violence.                     A, Probably. .....solution- work more on fitness and speed to eliminate self doubt and to create readiness.....Better to be prepared and not need it than to need it and not be prepared. 

It's a changing World we live in with snowflakes, namby pamby's and those easily offended like woke people. The thing is there is little to no patience that these people have and flying off the handle so to speak is a normal occurrence for them, they just don't know what to do when someone doesn't give a flying FK about them .... My advice, be ready.
