As I was reminded today, it's really hard to take being near someone who's okay with spitting on the sidewalk. Because if they do it once, odds are they'll do it again. And you're reminded that other people do this too. Until you start to wonder what part of the street it's okay to stand on, leave your bag, etc.
Of course, as with the guy I saw at the bus stop today, the odds are pretty good they'll be doing 20 other obnoxious things too.

Then there are the truly exceptional eccentrics to consider - like Sir George Sitwell who designed a small pistol for shooting wasps.
The BBC is right to count him among the tradition of great British eccentrics, which is nice work if you can get it. His father was named "Sitwell Sitwell", which sounds kind of New Wave.
