Your first paragraph makes me think you might have been to Malta at some point 😁

Of course, they've got rid of the old and slightly scary, but hugely picturesque yellow buses now, replaced with boring anodyne coaches. But I'll never forget being on one as it careened around the streets of Valetta, and the driver hopped out at one point to have a screaming match with some other driver. It was awesomely entertaining !

Also, and more on topic with your post.... not giving a damn can sometimes be hugely therapeutic. It's far healthier than getting stressed about things that you just cannot control.
