There are so many people in this world who are angry or unfriendly. Since I am an older person, I'm very much aware of the changes that have taken place in our society in recent years. Twenty years ago you would have never heard of the crimes that you hear about in todays world. Not only crimes, but the meanness of some people. Last week when I had an appointment to go somewhere, I had a hard time finding as [parking space so I parked behind a building where there was a sign that said no Parking. since there were a lot of empty spaces and I was in a hurry, I felt it would be okay to park there. Well, when I came back from my appointment and started my car I discovered I had a flat tire. I know who it was that probably gave me the flat tire. There was a man on the lot (not a parking attendant) who saw me and kept looking at me. He was probably the one who gave me the flat. Why couldn't he have told me nicely that I was not supposed to park there?

Hi,
It was very bad experience. That person should have told you not to park the car there. But he had done very wrong with you by making the tire flat. we come across such bad people in our life. they are not willing to help anyone and they become happy by troubling others.

The other day after church, I waited for a Jeep to go home. I have been waiting for almost thirty minutes and I noticed that a man across the road was starring at me. He didn't say any word, but stare. When a fully loaded jeep pass by, the driver said that I can't wait there because loading and unloading of passengers are not allowed that time.
I don't know why others are like that. But, in your case, maybe next time it's good to follow signs :)

I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes it amazes me how mean and cruel people can be. I would have been shocked to discover that someone gave me a flat tire. That is just unnecessary. Most people would have just talked to you, and I think most people would have said OK to the man and parked somewhere else.
Communication is so important but yet no one takes the time to communicate anymore. I think that there could be a lot of issues and problems that would get resolved if people took the time to communicate. It's annoying and frustrating to know that people can be so cruel and not think twice about it.

I am really sorry that you had such a bad experience in the parking lot. It really is too bad the person wasn't able to come up and talk to you and told you not to park there. Then he wouldn't have to do something so awful to another human being. I know there are some vindictive people out there and feel like they have to do vigilanty justice for themselves.

Yes indeed true, 20 years ago people are more civilize . however nowsday people are more hurtful and fill with envy and anger. I think humanity is slipping and people are more scared and often have to take care their own interests and family first before thinking about other people.More of self surviving. People are angry and waiting to explode or find opportunity to exert suffering to other in their warped sense of justice.

Hi happielady!
Sorry to know about this. About the news regarding crimes before and nowadays, I think it has something to do with the new technology that we can be able to know almost anything that is happening in the world as compared to the previous years.
I know there are still some who are good but it just so happened that they were not there on the place where you are at that time.
Have a great day!

I cannot agree that most people are unfriendly. Yes, those who are unfriendly are too aggrressive and they are like that without any reason. But I have also come across many good and helpful people, people who are ready to go out of their way to help others. The problem is we find it difficult to trust people. It is almost impossible to say who is friendly and who is unfriendly.

Sorry to hear about this bad experience.
But I agree that people nowadays are not helpful compared decades ago.
A lot of news today where people ignore others who ask for help.
I have a lot from the news, youtube and it's really sad how people become ungrateful today.
