What is it with humans and their; our, inability to follow rules? Yesterday, at our community pool we had an incident that has me pondering this larger question. A group of guys came into the pool area with a cooler. From the cooler they started pulling out beers in glass bottles, in addition to this they started lighting up cigarettes. The pool rules state “No Glass Containers in the Pool Area”, “No Smoking”. Why could they not self-police themselves and just obey the rules? This is where society starts to breakdown. What transpired later is not relevant to my question so I won’t elaborate further. The simple question is why could they not just follow the rules? You see it all the time, every day. Speeding, tossing cigarette butts out windows (littering), using a cell phone while driving, letting kids drive golf carts, parking the wrong direction on the road, leaving a grocery cart in the middle of a parking lot, not cleaning up your dog’s shit, putting a tent
Humorous rants and thoughts.
