silence means shut the fuck up!

by loujackson @ 2006-09-11 - 17:39:16

Wandered to Tesco on my lunch break today and whilst queuing to pay for my sarnie a tannoy announcement asked everyone to observe a 1 minute silence in memory of the 9/11 atrocities. The reaction made my blood boil. You'd have thought shoppers had been asked to hand over their first born. Chatter continued throughout the 'silence', most irritating was the cashier who after 30 seconds repeatedly asked 'is one minute up yet?". 5 years on the appalling truths of the fateful day are still being uncovered and it saddens me that so many people consider it unworthy of their time and thought.
