While waiting on my daughter to be done with guard practice years ago, the couple in the car next to me started fighting.

I heard the wife say, “that’s why everyone thinks you’re an a*****e, Brad”. Which I thought was funny because actually everyone thought Brad was a nice guy who happens to be married to a huge b***h.

Parents letting their kids behave like unruly monsters in public and not disciplining them.

A President who cruelly insults others as easily and frequently as drinking a soda.

A President who twitters his followers the craziest things so regularly that it’s become accepted as normal for his followers. One example of numerous tweets: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”

The more ridiculous and crazy things he says and does, the more his supporters cheer him on.

Referring to immigrants he warns Americans during a televised debate:“They’re eating the pets.” His weird statements and unstable behavior is regularly “sane-washed” by supporters.

Never in my lifetime could I have imagined a convicted felon would be elected as the president of our country.

A President who pardons the criminals who injured our Capitol police officers after they protected the members of Congress.

Never in my lifetime could I have dreamed of a President who would threaten and attack our European allies while cozying up to Russia.

Children mis-behaving and not having consequences. Now, every child has a disorder as an excuse for being a brat.

Children run the family now.

Men and women seeing each other as belonging to fundamentally different and somewhat hostile tribes. When I was young, men and women tended to view each other positively by default.

I am an introvert, but I think things were better when people were forced to interact socially more. People have forgotten how to be polite and respectfully disagree. It’s sad.

Recording crime or misfortune with your phone and not actually doing something to help.

Abortion bans. Women having fewer rights now than then.

People thinking their uneducated opinion is just as good as that of people who took the time to study and learn a particular discipline. I’m not saying we should blindly accept the word of every professional out there, by all means, get a second or third or even more opinion from other professionals. But no, watching a bunch of online videos isn’t the same as med school.

Tipping for every mundane transaction.

Tipping used to be for people doing actual service. Waiting your table at a restaurant or delivering food to your house. Doing your yard care. Something that involved significant action or effort.

Now there's tip jars sitting in front of every cashier.

fwiw, I would prefer to just raise all service employees wages and get rid of tipping altogether.
