| Comment | The level of respect that everyone is entitled to when doing an entirely unnecessary routine demonstration is about a minute of your time, tops.
Of course you can go round, a process which will delay you by half an hour. Unacceptable. What if you're trying to meet up with someone directly on the opposite side? What if you've got irritable bowel syndrome? You supposed to just stand there and shit yourself so you don't disrupt an entirely optional event? What if your job is strict about time and you risk reprimand? What if, like the ambulance situation, you're literally in need of emergency medical care?
We aren't really getting anywhere here. We fundamentally disagree that 30 minutes is an acceptable length of time to wait for a parade to pass while self-appointed security guards assault and humiliate people who try. |
