Where is the Common Sense:


I fail to understand how some people behave as if they don't even have the basic common sense in some situations. The other day I was about to cross the Egmore bridge, I heard a siren screaming behind me. I could see almost everone taking a hasty turn to the left to leave the way for the Ambulance to passon. I think, slowing down and paving the way is the max you could do to an ambulance these days. I too slowed down and went to the left and kept at that pace for the ambulance to pass. The bugger in front of me, who was driving a luxury car never slowed nor gave any way to the ambulance. I was just driving behind ambulance and was wondering why the stupid guy in the car is not at all giving the way. After a few minutes, I could not stand the stupidity of the car driver. I took a risk, by overtaking the speeding ambulance, went near the car and shouted the bugger to move the left and give some way to the ambulance. He gave way only after that. I guess the person in the ambulance is alright. It is a matter of life or death to some one, some family, how the hell the drivers like these are driving without this basic common sense.

Well this might just be an example of extreme self importance or educated ignorance of scores of people with money have these days. I wonder when an effective govt sets up serious rules and people follow......well Utopia... is that possible?

Its not just about common sense - its about extreme selfishness and apathy for people - problem is that people lack decency and culture
