Ya, that's good! This is one of those issues that we're all aware of, but I don't see anyone trying to solve, other than by screaming...which is kinda what I did. Glad you're reading...
That's a good one! For years Warren Buffet didn't own a smart phone...precisely to limit the potential for distractions from his interactions with people.
As your "easily tweaked" niece to my "confidently confused" uncle, I am happy to share that I still believe that yes, opinions can be wrong. Especially yours, because you're old and cranky. :)
Being raised in Texas and living there now, we always dressed to go to the grocery store! Things are not the same especially with the popularity of tattoos! I feel I have earned my crankiness each time I look in a mirror, I wonder who that person is? Yuck!
What is sad is when you see two people sitting in a restaurant both on their devices like the other isn't even there. Isn't the exchange of ideas between two people be more interesting (even if you don't agree) than hours of funny cat videos? Maybe... maybe not. That might be a good gauge of who you spend your time with. Love the one you're with, even if it's your cat. As I sit here in my yoga pants (in the privacy of my home) I couldn't agree more about lazy dressers. I recently saw an adult in pj's and slippers on a airplane. Really?
Spot on about attire. Since retiring I've become lazy--comfort is Rule #1, but I am fortunate that my better half keeps me in line ("that is NOT a public outfit").
Amen to the "WHAT MEN WEAR. TOO OFTEN." bit! I always assumed the tendency toward "relaxed" attire was just a Bay Area thing (the mentality is different in L.A.).
Half listen. Half live.
Best phrase in a long time.

Nah, not you, Melissa....you're about as uncranky as it gets...
Flew to Seattle yesterday. I was one of the few people on the plane not wearing yoga pants or sweats and fuzzy slippers.
Were they Rutgers slippers at least?
No! Which made it even more unbearable. Not a scarlet slipper amongst them.

A friend of mine mentioned to me that any time I want to get inspiration for further Curmudg posts, all I have to do is walk outside... :)

You're better half is wise...I might have to steal that comment about "public outfit."

If more men dressed as well as you did, there'd be no post like this!!
