I hate people...unless they're illegal


I hate people. No i'm not insane or an angry person...but people generally annoy me. Imagine a society without people - how amazing would it be.

So anyway, i'm a pretty easy going bubble of happiness majority of the time. I always get asked why i'm always so happy...but secretly i actually hate people and am an angry little grinch. Literally. I just like to always put on a smile on! I don’t have a smile on when I’m driving though. I generally have road rage, i dont scream or yell...i just curse in my car at crazy people on the road. But today something changed...


As i was driving along Military Road i saw a whole heap of lights flashing at me. No it wasn't a disco ball, a school zone, the ambulance or roadworks. It was a whole heap of drivers on the other side of the road warning people there was police around the corner by flashing their headlights. Now i wasn't speeding (well actually i've learnt my lesson from this one time in bandcamp) so i had nothing to be worried about, but i really appreciated people going out of their way to warn me and everyone else on the road.

There's a whole other discussion that if your speeding or talking on a mobile then you should get caught because you’re a hazard, but still i appreciated the effort from the drivers. We all know that the Government are trying to pay off their debts by increasing speed cameras and parking fines. Its us against the system. So what’s the saying? The enemy of your enemy is your friend. (not that the government is my enemy, but you know what I mean) So people flashing their headlights at me made me feel like i was a part of a community, i felt pretty grateful for their efforts.

So i spent the next ten minutes going mental and flashing my lights at every single car that went past warning them too. Yes flashing your lights for 10 minutes is probably a little extreme, and i wonder if its even legal - but meh i helped someone out today and saved them some money and points!

Do i still hate people in general? yes sort of. But i hate people less nowadays. Some people still go out of their way to help you. There is still some goodness left in the world, even if it is illegal.
