OT. Social engineers have duffed it.

Its been gnawing at me for a couple of weeks. Went down to a suburban mall in Perth for the big shop, just a few things observed over a period of 6 hours. The parking bays seemed so small a dinky car would have trouble getting in. Greeting us at one of the entrances a group of hooded indigenous people sucking clear liquid from coke bottles. Two toddlers creating merry hell at the foodcourt while their mother sat screaming so many expletives at them that would make an an old sailor blush. Everyone with trolleys and prams walked blindly towards me, seems I spent most of my time dodging the buggers. Saw two young girls in Kmart stuffing clothes into a shopping bag right under staff noses, how cheeky is that, and they got away with it. After observing a few more arrogant and disrespectfull incidents I suggested to the missus we head outside for a quiet ciggy. There was an elderly lady outside having a smoke 37 degrees no shade and no seating. I laid an empty trolley on its side so she could at least sit while she fried. Having just lit up, a young security chap came out and told me to put the smoke out or go to the carpark. No excuse me sir or center policy, just put the smoke out. It was only the missus hanging off my elbow that stopped this idiot being put trough the front window of Red Rooster. Seems to me its more socially acceptible to be a drunk, noisey, intimidating, swearing thief in public than a smoker. Don't figure... Lionel
