  • I just thought that disrupting the life of ordinary people often at their most busy and pressured time was not the most responsible expression of a legitimate protest and that the very irresponsibility while drawing notice might also muddy and trivialise the intended message. But that is not the reason I am replying now, just after I made the comment I saw it was drawing downvotes and that it was an annoyance to people so I deleted it. I make this reply now as the majority of its downvotes were subsequent to its removal and I would ask someone who downvoted it without reading to explain that action, because it looks like pack mentality and straight recreational bullying.








  • I was waiting in a maternity ward while my wife was having our daughter, the waiting area was surrounded by rooms filled with women giving birth so I had constant screaming on all sides of me. To distract myself I was reading one of the magazines they provided, an article on two women hiking in the Alps and I somehow managed to get a nasty papercut on my tongue. I went to find a nurse to ask for a painkiller and I was explaining to her how I knew she was busy and would not have asked only the pain was very bad and she just smiled and walked away. I thought she was going to get me a pill but she just walked over to a group of other nurses and said something to them and then they all laughed and looked over at me.
