I have had an unfortunate 24 hours. Instead of moaning about it, I thought I would do a mini photo series highlighting unfortunate situations on a micro-scale… More specifically, on the short walk from Sainsbury’s Local (Bath Road) to my house. When you look around you, quite a lot of unfortunate things are occurring. Suddenly your own circumstances are not so bad! So here goes…  It is always unfortunate when:

Your nice charity shop gets a traffic cone on top of it after a student night out.

You lose the sleeve of your umbrella

A ‘no ball games’ sign gets hit by a car/you hit a ‘no ball games’ sign with your car.

A man is chatting up a lady who is a good foot taller than him (not so obvious in this pic)

Some kid writes “I love weed and ganja it’s lush” on a can recycling bank

A man wears black shoes without socks

Everyone parks by a ‘no parking’ sign

When someone parks touching a ‘no parking’ sign

When a house named after an architectural epicentre of the world stands (much like the city) in a state of severe disrepair

When you see a retirement property for sale – it usually means someone has pegged it

When you see a garage in “constant use” not being used

When you see a very strange sign like this

When you see an ‘alcohol free zone’ by a pub

When the local shop makes the street look like a tip

When the neighbours AND the local shop make the street look like a tip

When the keys for your meter boxes go missing

When a beautifully ornate pot has dead flowers in it

When some chav burns your door sign.
