That reminds me.
Care homes. I suppose they offer a worthwhile service, but cannot imagine how unbearably awful it must be to be actually trapped in one. Every time I walk past one and look through the window, I shudder with horror that it might be me some day.
Also, while we're talking about looking through windows and seeing people slumped in arm chairs, one thing that baffles me more than anything else (though I still think it's something I "hate") is how so many people leave their curtains wide open, with the lights on in their living rooms, well after dark. Do people not have a sense of privacy?
I myself shut my curtains tight as soon as the sun disappears behind the trees, as I don't ever want anyone to be able to peer into my home from outside, but apparently most people just don't care -- they'll quite happily allow the entire world to see the inside of their living room and even share their TV show of choice with whoever might be walking past. Why?!
