Just my own experience and maybe due to frequency bias, but holy shit everyone seemed to lose their goddamn minds behind the wheel after Covid.
People seem to have gone “feral”.
Animals in the store?
No shoes/shirt?
Waiting your turn?
Treating other people (especially service workers)?
Nope. Just a feral return to “mine mine mine, me me me”
Yup. Everyone realized social norms/good behavior, was just a social shared agreement. If you opt out, and shit on the floor, it's the other person's fault for caring
People are the same as they have ever been, the US is just genuinely entering a state of collapse and people are more desperate and less able to cope with side quests in life that demand them to be kind and patient.
And I swear SOOOO many fucking people on their phones. Bitch, you aren't that important. Put it the fuck down and drive.
Former firefighter: COVID didn't start that.
That is not new tho. People now watching tv shows while driving is pretty new. And i assume people who do that are also on their phones at the same time.
We just got phone enforcement cameras, they're cantilevered over the lanes
Yes! A TON of people have brain damage from COVID and have no idea they have brain damage from COVID.

80% of infected individuals have suffered neurological symptoms probably shouldn’t equate with 100% of those who experienced symptoms were found to have permanent brain damage.
A lot of people only go the speed limit because there are cars in the way
Apparently i’m a lot of people
Some of them really really don't like that at all
It works though
Yes. Covid unleashed a lot of people’s inner narcissism. Bunch of fucking me-mes.
