The Bitch Box

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 12-03-2021, 05:57 PM

My bitch is that Covid-19 is the pits. We finally get control over delta spread in Auckland and now Omicron is spreading around the world. I mentally can't cope with any more lockdown's, we just finished ours after 3 months+. I am getting panic attacks a lot lately and I need to be more grounded.

The general consensus so far seems to be that Omicron is a milder form, so it might not be that bad. I think most countries are trying to stay away from lockdowns, both for economic reasons and, as you say, mental health issues. So it might not be so bad. We could certainly do with a Covid-free world though. How is the vaccine uptake in your part of the world, Jess?

Pull into Pete's Market for lunch
Go to park where I usually park
Someone is taking not 1 but 4 spaces
I park 2 spaces away from insane person
Go get my lunch
Get up to counter
Young lady is packing her groceries into reuse bags
Leaves cart right at check-out blocking me
I comment to check-out person
Both shrug
I take cart on my way out
Put it in stall
Go to get back in my vehicle
Insane 4 parking spot person is just getting out of vehicle
I comment on her taking up 4 parking spaces
She looks
She comments back "Well, would ya look at that"
She walks away into store

People are assholes. I don't know if its the lack of empathy or lack of education or what. Here (in AD) there is a huge problem of dog owners leaving shit all over the sidewalks. Some people say it's the poor dog walkers (who come from poor countries, are normally paid nothing and probably don't have college degrees) or maybe just asshole dog owners themselves. I'm fascinated because, aside from not caring that other people have to deal with it, those people apparently have no problem walking among dog shit themselves. Some sidewalks are so full of it you have to really be careful. I still can't get over it. How? Why? And why don't the authorities do something about it? #thirdworldpretendingtobefirstworldproblems

That's exactly what it is, whichever way you slice it. Sometimes I find people's lack of empathy mind-boggling too.

Anyway, just kidding, P - your "bitch" looks like a masterpiece of free verse, actually.
