When did you first start worrying for humankind?

My latest post concerns the moment that I became uncertain about the survival of a species, thanks to an otherwise typical bus journey.

Please do comment with any similar experiences you have

The Neuroscience of Everyday Life · When did you first start worrying for humankind?By Dean Burnett

@Garwboy Reminiscent of John "Wonko the Sane" Watson in So Long and Thanks for all the Fish - the instructions on the packet of toothpicks being what drove him to conclude the world was insane and beyond saving.

@Garwboy Plenty of warnings along the lines of ‘do not pour water into the electrical equipment, even if it is warm’.
As you say, it makes one wonder if that was added after an unintentionally hilarious tragedy, or after a burst of micromanagement.

I have an awful feeling you could compile an entire book of these.
