I absolutely cannot believe the audacity of the woman asking for two extra meals to go. Why do I still act surprised that humans have no shame in some of their actions? As if their actions do not affect anyone else. I do not understand why this still tends to shock me. Eventually, she may run into the wrong date and who knows what could happen. She certainly isn’t a keeper, is she? This sentiment flows into the embarrassment this country has become, but right now I’m still processing.

What a life you live!! I love this quote! But here’s the problem: the more hyperbole you use, the more it takes to stand out. The bar for what qualifies as “shocking” or “groundbreaking” keeps rising. Yesterday’s “Best Ever!” is today’s “Meh.” We’re caught in an arms race of exaggeration, where everyone is trying to one-up each other with increasingly ridiculous claims.
