The comic speaks great truth. Be warned single people!The worst example I experienced is being called in to babysit. The parents were just zipping out “for an hour, maybe two at most!” to say hello to an adult friend at his birthday party. About six hours later, after midnight, they came in.

I haven’t seen a new uptick. I recall a book published, I believe in the early 1980’s, where April Fool’s Day had morphed into “Lawyer’s Day”. Instead of everyone playing pranks on everyone, everyone only played pranks on lawyers. (and the pranks were getting especially nasty as years went by)
