Want to know something that REALLY disappoints me?

I like a nice suit, feels good to wear one and even don't mind wearing office clothes with a tie.

SO many younger generations now DON'T know how to tie a tie! It's either clip ons or no tie at all! I was taught how to tie my shoelaces when I was 5 (at least I remember doing it around then, my mother forced me to learn to my great disinterest at the time) and then learning to tie a tie around when I was 8. So many parents I feel check out of just teaching the basics going 'eh they'll learn it off school/YouTube'.

No wonder I've heard so many of these 'dad' YouTube channels popping up teaching the basics because their parents don't put in the effort! (Rant over)
