(59,684 posts)I was at an exit from a parkway in my town the other day. It is a slow exit and often backs up, so you are often waiting in line for 6 or 5 minutes before you can merge onto the next parkway.
So of course as you are sitting there, there are the creeps who block traffic to cut the line. That's something that has happened for years. But this time there was something new in the level of creepiness.
A fire truck came along, sirens blaring. Everyone in the line moved to the right to let it pass. SIX cars - count them, SIX - pulled out of the line to get IN FRONT OF THE FIRE TRUCK and cut past everyone. IN FRONT OF IT! I know people often do that to get behind the fire truck but IN FRONT??? That's a new one on me.
TFG unleashed a new level of selfishness and self-centeredness into our society. I wonder if that genie can ever be pushed back into the bottle.
