Did I write this in my sleep?I've taught at sixth-form college and in adult education where my groups are mainly in their early twenties, and Y E S the newer generations are so self-entitled. The lack of manners really disgusts me. I won't rant about that, but I do find it's snotty young birds and blokes who sit in the outside lane and won't move, don't indicate when pulling into my way, don't thank me when I let them out of a junction or slow down for them, and are the guilty party who overtake other cars in 30mph zones ffs. One trampy scrote missed me (barely) head-on this week by overtaking a line of cars in a v i l l a g e (30mph) and through a blind-bend, and he couldn't give two shits. Good job I have firm brakes, my tolerance however isn't.
I've changed my mind, I'm having a little rant:
Self-entitled, self-important, self-obsessed look-at-me generations since the launch of social media.
Nasty little fukkers who can't see beyond their own noses and imaginary identites they create for themselves on facebook.
No I'm not miserable old and bitter pensioner (not yet anyway), but even growing up without carpets and in social housing for the most part I was taught good manners, to be non-judgemental (above everything else) and to show respect for my elders.
Kids these days dick about with their phones whilst having a conversation with you, and expect everything to be given to them because they deserve it. Also they're work-shy and moan abouth everything

Maybe Bacchus was helping.Did I write this in my sleep?
.So by your measure at least 50% of people your age are a$$holes
There are always exceptions but generalising, the people your age/generation seem to have a massive sense of entitlement and an ME,ME,ME attitude. However my parents probably said that about my generation.
However to quote Socrates:
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
To be honest I don't think that anyone of any age living in a decent neighbourhood would want an old wreck of a car parked outside their house!
) though. It's largely cultural and by hanging around with the same friends that the dunnign kruger effect takes place and people think it's normal and don't realise how self entitled they're being - I am sure I'm self entitled in some respects too.
I suppose it depends what a sense of entitlement is. There seem to be a lot of people on here who are not young who scoff at people not being able/wanting new cars , not buying the best thing, etc (who is scoffing - there are many enthusiastic members who love working on their cars and prefer older cars and are quite proud of their bargain hunting & repurposing of old stuff). TBH the fact you think living in a "decent" neighbourhood means you can object (who said that I object?) to someone parking a legal car on a public road shows a sense of entitlement and a ME ME ME attitude If that's the biggest issue someone has (it is a fully assembled working car, not in pieces!!) then I think it shows how sheltered they have lived (Let me know when you have a nice house in a nice suburb and I'll dump and old wreck on your doorstep and we'll see how long you tolerate it - if you already have an address available send it to me & I'll organise for a roadworthy wreck to be delivered
I wouldn't go as far to call anyone with a perceived sense of entitlement "a$$holes" (neither you, nor 50% of my friends
I would say that's perhaps one of the greatest thigns about Spain, although it's changing slwoly the socialising is still very geographical and familiar, which means that it is very normal to have a table of 25 people eating out together with some peopel out of work, some students and some people doing very well...there will also be ages from 20 to 75 and all types of education level etc. Which is very useful to get a perspective and realise we're more the same than different and that everyone can have a variety of problems rich or poor. In the UK before emigrating my social circle was mainly people of the same age, degree educated from middle class families. So we all had the same problems we thought were the be all and end all and wouldn't know what "other" people go through.
It’s already becoming standard with the whole “connected/ smart mobility” thing.
And they have lhd cars, no mot, don't put a penny into the road tax fund, and drive heaps of **** leaking oil everywhere, reverse park bump and scrape other peoples nice cars at the supermarket car parks, and just don't care :-D
Good to see other people still strive for good manners and mutual respect, and this carries over into their driving.
myself and my wife have very few friends for exactly that reason, we can’t stand faceache and twatter, and can’t abide constantly sitting in coffee shops or having everything on credit because they have to have it NOW,
We’re the same. Very selective with friends and I work for everything.
Your steering wheel is on the correct side of the vehicle though, and from memory no-one speeds in NZ as the coppers have a raging boner for this. Heaps of unmarked cars.
