ME NO LIKE!

My old mate and photographer Rob Walls wrote an article in the Tasmanian Times about things he does not like. Incidents over the last few weeks have made me think of the things I don’t like in my community, so I thought to follow Rob’s lead. I have written them down at random:

# People who can’t make up their mind what to order at cafes while people are queuing behind them at the counter.

# Selfish, racist, mean, rude and greedy people.

# People who park their car a metre from the kerb so no one can get in or out behind them.

# People who damage your car without leaving a note.

# Women who stand at the supermarket check-out and wait till the final sum comes up before starting to search for their purse in the oversized handbag.

# Fat people who ask me not to make them look fat when I photograph them.

# People who lack courtesy and respect for other people.

# Noisy cafes and restaurants.

# People who believe they are better than others.

# People who believe their religion is the only true one.

# Bigots and homophobes.

# Car drivers who never stop for pedestrians.

# Kids on busses and trains with feet on the seats forcing mature people to stand.

# Bad food and bad service.

# Politician who lie, or don’t keep their promises and policies.

# TV news that starts with a sport item rather than important news.

# Uncaring neighbours who have loud parties, or let their dogs bark day and night.

# Self-important people with egos much larger than any of their abilities.

I am sure there are plenty more things people get annoyed about, so let me know what you don’t like.
