Why are we angry?

Is it just me that is finding that everyone is angry at the moment? Including myself I have to add shamefully. There are probably lots of reasons but I feel there has been a big shift since lockdown opened up. Wondered what your thoughts are?

Well said MadeInYorkshire. Preying on vulnerable people to bolster their approval ratings.

I do not see why folk can't see it?

There was a very angry person in town on Saturday. He was walking along the street whilst shouting in his wife’s face, with their small child looking on. It was really very intimidating and a number of people looked very uncomfortable but no one intervened.

If he does that in public you wonder what goes on at home. sad

An angry workman, whose van was parked on the pavement, shouted at me and DGD today, "the bollards are there for a reason you know". All we did was to niftily over his pesky little hosepipe. If we have circumnavigated and gone round the other side, we would have been run over by cars!

I know what goes on behind closed doors with men like that Sue. It’s not pleasant. I had 23 years of it, latterly small child included (who chose years ago to no longer see his father).

I'm not angry, just glad to wake up every morning to enjoy the day ahead.

Primrose53 I totally agree with you. My recently widowed daughter and her three sons recently had to find rented accommodation as her landlord wanted his house back to live in, fair enough. She couldn’t afford the privately rented accommodation so went to her local council. They have no temporary housing for homeless families at all as it has all been taken by asylum seekers. That information came from the Potentially Homeless Housing Officer. So they were going to put her in temporary accommodation miles away where she wouldn’t have been able to afford to get to work for the length of time she might have been there. Good news is that literacy by the skin of her teeth she managed to get a small terraced house, which she can walk to work from. Big sigh of relief she got it before the bailiffs came.
