It's this massive and illogical sense of entitlement imo.
People too often say, "I know my rights!!!"
Yes pal, but you definitely don't know your responsibilities.
In our dirt poor pit village the women would polish the front door step and swill the pavement the width of the house. If the neighbours were old or infirm theirs would be done without question.
No one had scruffy back gardens, piles of crap or an old settee outside ...
... and kids had to take a telling from anyone on the street if you were lucky, a clip if you weren't.
I also can't comprehend, so often even in the new build houses, people who have got the money together to buy a new house with a brand new lawn, sit back and let it turn into a wasteland of 2 foot high weeds. Also landlords who buy them up and let their tenants ruin them.
