Planning a trip to the grocery store, to buy one piece of fruit with a coupon, then return it and hold up the line while complaining about a blemish on it.
So, cessna172, your lack of argument (and attempt at a diversionary attack) suggests you agree with the sentiments about the lack of attention span that appears present. Yes, there are a lot more thoughts and ideas in the world and none of us are without foibles. Focusing on the comic and thought presented is the objective here.
I do wonder about attention spans. Have you ever watched a movie trailer on TV. No scene is held for more than a 1/2 second. Elsewhere everything is in 15-second sound bites.
It’s just the culture today. New ideas are out of date by the end of the day. “Like that is so 10 seconds ago.”

They will never see the sign. Most of them will walk right into it, while staring at their phone.

Huh? I’m sorry. I lost interest after the word “patience.”

OK, not unreasonable. What we don’t need is the ADs; and so much in our faces. Attention but not junk sell. Some of us arealready awake in da morn.

Aniti-Youth or Anti-American? It’s hard to find adults with a reasonable attention span, let alone any patience anymore.
