You feel alone in your sentiments, but soon realize that you are not the only one. Your frustrations stem from the lack of face-to-face communication and the diminished respect for elders in today’s society. You long for the simplicity of the 1980s, when people took pride in their work and children showed their parents and grandparents proper respect.
Modern technology has also contributed to your frustration, as you believe it has diminished our quality of life. The cancellation of TV shows like NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawaii leaves you disappointed, while spinoffs like NCIS: Sydney leave you uninterested due to a lack of warmth and relatability in the new characters.
You also find annoyance with commercials for “All Over Body Deodorant,” believing that if proper hygiene is maintained, deodorant should not be necessary. You question the appeal of watching wealthy individuals play sports, finding it perplexing.
Lastly, you are puzzled by a women’s clothing line commercial promoting tight pants that focus on the derriere. You find it strange and unnecessary for women to admire and caress their own behinds in the advertisement.
Despite these frustrations, you find solace in expressing your grievances in the “ticked off” column, providing an outlet for your petty complaints that may go unnoticed by others.
