Angry Now I know why I'm coming to Canada

Have just got to tell you all a story of an event that happened not 1/2 mile from my house in Manchester.

Went up to my mom's for a quick visit and at the top of the lane where I live there is our parish church. It was about 7pm and the Sunday Evensong service was still going on.

I was sat in a line of traffic and just happened to look towards the church and there was this teenager stood peeing (Oh hope I can say that word on here) all over the cars of the congregation !!!!

Why do this ?

I have never been so annoyed and shocked :scared:

This is the reason why I want to come to live in Alberta. Not saying that this wouldn't happen over there but I think this is beyond a joke !!!

ps Yes I know he was peeing because he was even exposing himself as he was doing it !!

That's too bad. At least the yoof have the decency not to pee on cars here.

They prefer to do it on war memorials

This reminds me of an incident that happened in Mexico. I got in my car at night and turned my headlights on and saw that a Mexican was peeing in front of my car (not on it, just in front of it). He didn't mean any disrespect, he just had to go, and thought it would be okay. I just kept my lights on and let others see .... the guy was very embarassed.

Maybe it was yellow holy water and he was blessing the cars.

UPDATE: I just saw my neighbors dog doing a pooh on a lawn and he didn't pick it up. I'm so traumatized that I'm leaving for the airport tonight and relocating half way around the world

Mancunian chavs are a bit strange, one of the reasons I decided to leave 11 years ago...

Under no circumstances would I ever consider going back up there. Maybe to other parts of the UK, but not back up north.

Well it's certainly making me want out of this god damn country.

But I don't think that it is just Manchester I think it is prevalent everywhere in the uk now.

Just last month we were returning from our holiday in Canmore and we saw a lady (I use the word loosely) who was squatting down by the side of the highway going to the loo.....she wasn't even trying to hide.

Also a few years ago in France we passed a man who had positioned himself between the ' V ' of a tree and was doing a number 2!!!!!! dirty bugger!!!!

oh well it takes all sorts.
