A very apt commentary on the state of affairs in society right now. Thank you again, Pearls Before Swine and Stephan Pastis. It's true that no matter what we do or buy, someone is waiting in the wings to ask us 'how'd we do?' The silliest is when I've bought trivial items and the companies that sell them want to know what I think of them. Why? Is it important in the general scheme of things? How did we manage before? I'm not necessarily opposed to rating a hotel stay or customer service at a restaurant, but I refuse to be pressured into it. And often it feels like we're being pressured into it when companies send email after email to remind you to rate them. Sometimes I really don't want to rate anything at all. So if I don't want to do it, I don't.
