Today is one of those days where i just feel totally deflated from people. I had abit of a verbal altercation this morning with a complete stranger while my 9 week old baby was with me. I can't go into any details but I'm definitely having a "people are shitheads" moment. Been so shook up all morning about it 😪

Could you share some positive stories of how people are not shitheads please?
i feel some people can be worse than ever.

Anyone done anything lovely for you unexpectedly recently? I feel I need to hear how there is still good in the world.

Imagine taking time out of your day to be awful to a stranger? Sounds like someone who spends most of their lives angry and bitter.
Unless it’s everyone you’ve met today then it’s just one angry human, who probably spends far too much time on social media! Most people are nice, it’s just the arseholes that stand out.

If you want to hear something nice people have done. We moved to our street about 3 years ago, we are the only ones in the road with kids. Every year since we moved here a couple of the neighbours bring Xmas presents round for the kids. It’s such a lovely gesture and obviously the kids love it.

That’s horrible 💐

Someone we know has had some serious health problems and is going from hospital into full time care. Despite having quite a bit to contend with, they organised a family member to go and buy a Christmas/goodbye present for my DN, exactly the sort of toy he loves, and he was over the moon with it. It was so unexpected and so kind.
