I have
complained about companies cutting cost by reducing the amount of product in
their packaging.
But since I have
gotten older, there are other things that devious society have slipped into my
daily existence.
· Somehow, they have made stairs higher
without my knowing it. I use to be able
to take them two-at-a-time, now I have to hold on the handrail, and am out of
breath at the top.
· Shoes are smaller, I am a size twelve,
but have to buy a size fifteen.
· When did they let teenagers become
nurses and doctors?
· There is something wrong with my
household mirrors. They display how I might
look when I am ancient… I think it is
probably some advertising trick of insurance companies.
· It is one thing for corporations to
cut the size of food products, but now Wrangle is skimping on the length of
material in the waist of their jeans. I
know I am a size 34, but I have to by a size 38 stretch; and I have to open the
top button when I sit down to eat.
· On most TV shows the actors whisper,
and I have to turn the volume up to 90 to hear what they are saying.
· Yesterday some woman opened a door for
me and called me sir – what the fuck!
Things just aren’t
the way they use to be; and I know it’s a conspiracy.
All very true, LOL!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and have you noticed that they are using smaller and smaller print in books? I guess it's to fit more words on a page.
ReplyDeleteYears ago some young kid gas pump jockey called me Sir. I was totally deflated. The rest of your list looks too familiar
ReplyDeleteLove this post. This is going on the refrigerator. "I thought growing old would take longer."
