I went for a walk at lunchtime today, and could have quite cheerfully murdered several dozen Australians. It’s some sort of weird cultural thing – THEY JUST DON’T LOOK WHERE THEY ARE F-ING GOING.
I suspect it’s also connected to their strange lack of awareness of the concept of personal space – I often have to “pull over” while walking because some knobber is walking exactly one pace behind me (usually talking loudly on their phone), or…. my personal favourite: somebody joins the pavement and starts walking alongside you for several blocks.
Honestly – I don’t know how the murder rate in the US is so low – I think if I was allowed a gun, I would probably kill somebody most days.
