Hitler hated artists too....
As part of the graphic design course I'm on, I regularly have to go out and about sketching buildings and the like. This can get quite aggravating on it's own due to the hours of sitting in the baking sun and sketching objects that have no relation to giant robots or tanks (I'm still 5 inside) without the constant threat of being arrested by some jumped up little shit in a flourescent jacket. I wouldn't be so bitter about it if I was politely told that the object of my attention was owned by the council and I needed permission to carry on (no big deal, I can move on and find something else), instead of being talked to like a fucking criminal. My only crime is being a student with a pencil it seems. Never mind the terrible rates of knife and gun crime we have here, oh no....

What's wrong with the council workers I encounter on my travels? Why are they so incapable of talking to people politely and not like some crap they just found stuck to their shoe. Absolute bastards.

I must apologise for ranting, I just have absolutely no respect for people who can't even make an effort to show some basic human compassion.
Oh yeah, this would be Nottingham City Council I'm talking about.

EDIT: There's also a traffic light on the city's most important main road that's completely obscured by a tree. If that's not incompetence I don't know what is.
