How come some people do not think and why do they do stupid stuff.
Just what is wrong with people.
Two times this morning when we went to the store Adults walking just walked across busy traffic without even looking. Why do they do that? They could get hit if a car does not have time to stop.
Half of the drivers do not stop at stop signs they just keep going. Than you have drivers who think it is only one block so they go up a one way street the wrong way.
Why do they do that.
Like I said What is wrong with people???
Than you have the man across the street with two big dogs yelling at his dogs for howling when an ambulance goes by. I told him the sound hurts their ears and he did not know that.
It just makes me shake my head.

Despite being capable of, we don't all think the same. We're human and we form our own thoughts and opinions. People also think 'it won't happen to me' or 'it's just this once I won't get caught'. Living in Florida, you'd be amazed how many drivers think lights and stop signs are suggestions. And, I mean not turning on your lights in the rain, or when it's dark.

@jstory07 People think they know best and the younger more prettier they are or richer, common sense goes out the window.. True story, This the best I can do with restraints being pressed down on me.

Many people have no common sense even to the point of putting their lives at risk.

My son and husband work in home improvement retail and they are always telling stories of the clueless customers with no common sense.

I know what you mean since I am starting to wonder if we are living in a real life science fiction show.

@jstory07 That is true since people today speak odd on social media.

@jstory07 Times have changed for the worse as I see around me.
When my son was growing up, I enjoyed my moments with him as I gave him my undivided attention as did my wife. Now I see parents pushing their babies in prams and talking for hours on their cell phones. I really wonder how the parent-child bonding can happen.

Some people want their way by breaking the rules and are very insensitive. I think your city should implement strong traffic rules.

@jstory07 I think your government should appoint more police in that area.

Things are so different than in the 60s and 70s. I wish we could go back there.

@jstory07 Yes. People from my era would be shocked about what they say and do on TV and in the movies.

It sounds like you've had quite a frustrating day! It's understandable to feel concerned when you see people engaging in risky or inconsiderate behavior. Sometimes, people might be distracted, in a hurry, or simply unaware of the potential dangers around them.
For example, pedestrians might be preoccupied with their phones or thoughts, and drivers might be rushing or not paying full attention to traffic rules. As for the man with the dogs, he might not have known how sensitive dogs' ears are to loud noises like sirens.
It's great that you shared helpful information with your neighbor about his dogs. Small acts of kindness and understanding can make a big difference. Hopefully, people will become more mindful and considerate over time.

Here the pedestrians do that on purpose, while they are on their cellphones, in an attempt to have you hit them and they can sue you. It is such a nice feeling when someone acts like that-it makes me feel sorry for them as they really have no clue.
Of course those poor dogs must have been suffering to howl like that, but sirens do bother their hearing.
