Crossing's Going to the Void in a Handbasket

by Eradan Nimloth

I've noticed something recently, there are very few polite people in the crossing. I know, I know, not quite a shocking revelation, is it? But I'm sick of it.

It's gotten to the point where you'll wait a half hour in the Carousel Square for the people who were there first and watch the people who just came in take one of the arches with out even asking if there's a line. It's really frustrating.

The other day I was waiting for a friend, she took a little longer than I thought so I was bored, but, what i noticed was for the 30 minutes I was standing there, about 30 people came and went and only 2 asked if I was waiting for an arch. Those are some numbers, 2 out of 30.

And since im on a rant already I suppose there's no point stopping now, earlier that evening I was hunting with a younger friend in gobs, and I caught someone stealing from me. It's not so much that I caught him, it's that he had accutaly gotten coins from me before that. Now why would a thief with the skills to steal from ME with 30 ranks in stealing, and 135 ranks in perception bother with youngsters in gobs.

I suppose what im trying to say here is that we should all be more considerate of each other, ASK IF THERES A LINE BEFORE YOU ENTER THE VAULTS. I'm getting to the point where im tempted to put an arrow through the back of the next person to cut me off at the arch.

And as for those who find it entertaining to pick on the young, there aren't words to describe the feeling of contempt I have for them, and if that upsets them they can come hunt me down and kill me, it'll just prove my point
