Commercials like this:
The boy gets doll/stuffed animal hair all over the place, then threatens to cut his sister's hair, and all Mom can do is look horrified, then hold up Swiffer dusters and proceed to do all the cleanup. That boy is clearly old enough to help clean up his own mess (if he can handle scissors, he can handle a Swiffer), and why not show the mom stop the boy from cutting his sister's hair? It's sad that the ad agency thought this approach would appeal to parents, and even sadder if it actually does appeal to a lot of parents.
Promoting freedom without responsibility regarding kids. It certainly explains a lot.

I got a set of hot pads from a nice Church Lady today.
I was walked out of the building with my gear and she came up to me and said, "I have a set of hot pads for you. Your hands are full so I will put them here for you." then she put them on top of my speaker cab, I said, "Thank you very much." and off she went.
I hate to say it but I have no idea who she is. They are very nice, thick pads. One is a small for most pots or pans and the other is a large one great for a casserole dish or even a baking sheet. These will be in heavy use for Thanks Giving.
Wish I knew who she was.
Nope.
They were $19.99. Though I should have gotten them because if I acted then I would have received a bonus scrubber plus a wet/dry mop a $79.99 value free, but I had to get it then and my hands were full of gear.

It was Dana Carvey.
When someone rolls up to a four-way stop way before me from one side or the other and just sits there waiting to see if I'm going to actually stop before they go ahead. You've got the right of way, douche, why don't you just go ahead and not hold me up already!
Political correctness, & hyper-sensitivity about every little thing.
Many folks can't take a joke anymore, and too many people take themselves way too seriously.

Similar to my post about the shopping cart, people that walk the cart back to the line of carts BUT do NOT push it all the way in. Ugh!
I'm guilty of doing that. I guess I'll start leaving them in the middle of the lot for you; you can play dodge'm with your car.
This whole gender nonsense. You are born with a private part, that part dictates your gender. A guy with a penis cannot get pregnant no matter how much he considers himself as a female. Jenner that freak cannot get pregnant and I refuse to call it a female.
So what's your excuse?Grumpy people that always seemed to be annoyed by something.
