Inconsiderate

The other day my mate Mike, who I work with, was going into Tesco and noticed a chap who had parked in a disabled space and went into Tesco without a mask. 


Now Mike is in his 30s, powerfully built, has a shaven head and sports tattoos - the kind of bloke who looks as it you shouldn't argue with him, but he's actually a big softie and one of the nicest people you could wish to meet. 

Mike casually said to the bloke; "I guess rules don't apply to you," more as a statement than a question, and then carried on about his business, not caring whether the bloke responded or not. The bloke did actually respond by asking what Mike meant. Mike said; "Well, you park in a spot reserved for disabled people, when you're clearly not disabled, and you're about to go into Tesco, in the middle of an exponential rise in Covid cases, without a mask." The bloke just shrugged and carried on walking into Tesco, sans mask.

I just sometimes wonder what goes through what passes for the mind of some people and whether pointing out their inconsiderate attitude has any effect.

Our PM can contemplate on inconsideration now with the North Shropshire by-election.
