We had a run in with Arch's neighbours in the big posh house across the way, when we were doing the recycling on Tuesday,
"you can't park there."
"we are collecting the recycling so we need to park the vehicular here."
"we don't care your blocking our drive way and we need to get to an important hospital appointment."
They had loads of room to get their car through, we were parked in carparking space opposite Arch's frunt door. You could fit a bus through the gap, they could have easily walked to the hospital anyway its only 5 mins up the road.
I hate rude people, why is it that people with money can be so harsh. Grr
Why is it
I was only thinking on Tuesday, you were quiet calling at my place, normally I hear the clink of bottles. Which big posh house, the one at the end of the mews? I wonder how they coped having to drive the long way round to get out? (my road currently being closed at one end by roadworks).
Should have got them to have a word with the chavvy family who moved in on the corner, who often like to stand in the street at night effing at each other.... So rudeness is not confined to wealth...
It's not all like that down there - the chap in the flats next door to me is always cheerful and says hello when he sees me. And you get a better class of recycling round that area, and always washed out nicely.
Back to the OP, I think although you say people don't have commitments (IE, family, kids etc), they do have them, only they are mental commitments - "Oh, I couldn't go off and do something, what about my job, how would I live etc". Big change is a scary thing, and sometimes it takes a lot of courage to throw in a 'normal' life and make a break. I did it, but it took 12 years in a crap job before I got there. And now I'm sort of doing it all over again, 10 years later. I'm hoping to be settled by the time I reach 90.
