I do live in a small town where everyone knows each other. Yes people are rude and I guess some of them are too into themselves.

Today I noticed a puppy on it's own and trying to get home and I knocked on the owner's door. I was ignored even though I could hear someone inside talking about me being at their door. I couldn't leave the puppy on it's own and like a good simaritan I knocked again and this woman answered. She gave me a horrible look, was very rude and slammed the door in my face.

I found out that everyone has been talking about me rescueing lost pets and trying to help. Although it's something I do, helping people as I'm charitable by nature, people living here think I'm an interfering *****.

When people do things like shout and yell at their kids or whatever, no one bats an eyelid. When I've tried to control my kids in a tantrum, and I get very nervous in the street, everyone looks at me as if I'm evil.

One rule for them, another for me. Thank you everyone. You're making me realise there are still good people around.
