I get what you’re saying though. Normal people wouldn’t have been bothered enough by trashy fellow travellers in he airport to write a gear grinder post about it, so I see we’re not as different as we may have believed, my southy friend.

But that’s representative of the normalization of these things. Like I’m not freaking out about a group of guys smoking crack in a bus shelter, but at the same we’re becoming accustomed to it. Basically, we’re saying “it is what is” or “boys will be boys” and just decide we have to put up with it or accept it as the way of the world today.
