Ticked Off! @empty coffee cups

Who came up with the childproof caps that require tin snips and a blow torch to remove?  They’re on everything from grocery items to hearing-aid batteries.  We sure don’t want our kids to be wearing our hearing aids, so I guess it’s important.  It’s weird that we arthritic octogenarians need to depend on our children to take off the childproof caps. Ticks me off.
I am ticked off that actors swing around to-go cups of “supposed coffee” that are empty. Try putting a bit of water in the cups so the actors can act as if they had coffee.
Freedom Health Medicare Advantage commercials offend me. Actors change roles and were just as offensive in earlier roles. Go, older guy with red hair and glasses. Go away.
I’m so ticked off that it seems we do not have barbers in Central Florida who know how to cut my hair to the instructions I give them. No matter how I carefully explain I don’t want to be sheared like a sheep, they all seem to have the same idea: Hack off as much hair as they feel like and expect to be paid handsomely for it!
We don’t need any more megaships in Port Canaveral. Traffic is horrendous, not to mention the pollution of the waters with so many people. The cruise industry has gotten way out of hand!
I could be a local anchor:  “That’s crazy.” “It’s amazing.”  And, to conclude, “I love it.”
