There’s a ‘community’ Facebook page for the local town by my friends and it’s an endless source of comedy. At first glance it looks like people anonymously submitting their trolling points and the thick page owner not spotting the troll and posting them publicly, of course it gets a rise but reading the comments it’s quickly clear that this sort of shit genuinely bothers people and often pulls the original poster out of the woodwork. The highlights from this year;
1) There are several horse yards in the town, there’s a hardcore group of residents who regularly ask the page if the ‘inconsiderate’ horses can be banned from public roads or the ‘rude’ riders fined for the horse droppings which occasionally appear on the local roads. No one can understand why horses don’t wear nappies.
2) Pictures of badly parked cars blocking someone pushing a pram or a wheel chair are posted and often the cars are completely blocking access, a pavement, or taking up more than one (disabled) space. The posters are jumped on quite heatedly as having nothing better to do with their lives and for being perfect people who have never made a mistake in their lives. Pot, kettle, black.
3) One particular post complained bitterly about dog owners who didn’t carry around bottles of water to wash away the dog piss. Really.
4) Someone complained about the number of retired people who had plenty of time to go shopping during the week but instead ‘needlessly chose’ to go shopping over the weekends in the run up to Christmas and made it significantly more awkward for those who worked during the week. I think they started a lynch mob to get that person
