Of course you see that trend, because you're getting old. Every generation laments the decline in the next generation.
This is commonly attributed to Socrates, 2400 years ago: “The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

I assume you are of the same theory about people who go to church in flip flops and cut offs?

I went to H.S. in the 90's and remember seeing some parents doing that around where I grew up... Very very well to do in some places.

What in the world does clothing preference have to do with being lazy? And it doesn't matter what you wear to church. Where did you get that idea from?
Lighten up. It's just cotton.

I hate it when people fly on planes/walk around airports in pajamas. It's like the goal is to look as trashy as possible. You can't convince me that wearing pajamas is any more comfortable than wearing at least jeans and a T-shirt and actually looking halfway presentable.
They plan to sleep on the plane. Therefore, they wear pyjamas.

You must be British.
Reminds me of an old Benny Hill sketch:
Woman(outside the door): "Open the door!"
Benny: "I can't, I'm in my pyjamas!"
Woman: "Why can't you open the door in your pyjamas?"
Benny: "Because I don't HAVE a door in my pyjamas!"
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

You must not drive on any school bus routes. The bus waiting for kids still in the house for two minutes and stopping every thirty feet is what really bothers me. Humanity is going downhill fast I'm surprised no one has come up with a device that chews your food for you. I can wait till the machines become self aware.
I drop my son off at school every morning. I usually have to sit behind six or seven dumb asses that insist on dropping their kid(s) off RIGHT AT THE DOOR, rather than driving up a little of the 100 feet or so of lane that lines the entire front the school. This would allow everyone room to pull up and drop their kids off without waiting needlessly in a queue of morons. But, then again, little Johnny might have to walk his fat ass an extra thirty feet.
Maybe you should say something or do something about it instead of complaining. It's possible that no one else but you is in such a hurry. No one can read your mind.
Also why don't you just leave home earlier so you won't be in such a hurry.
And what's wrong with having a machine chew your food for you? There's nothing lazy about that. What do you think "lazy" means? Do you look down on cars also? Everyone is too lazy to walk everywhere is what you think isn't it?

Can you imagine if ~2000 years ago, Jesus was giving mass and some bum walked in with sandals?? I bet Jesus would have flipped a sh*t! Definitely thrown the guy out. In fact I am pretty sure there is a story like that in the bible somewhere, that Jesus was always a dress code stickler.
/sarcasm off
You know, criticizing someone for what they are wearing flys in the face of basically everything Jesus stood for. Just sayin'.

Bro an extra 30 feet?? Do you have any idea how many times a kid can get raped and murdered in 30 feet?!? Hope nobody calls DCF on your ass. Your kid probably doesn't even have his own iPhone and iPad I bet. You're a horrible parent.

It's not about being in a hurry. It's about more than 50% of the population not being intelligent enough to realize they could avoid engineering a mini traffic jam by simply making their brain-damaged children experience just a wee bit of discomfort and walk (maybe) twenty five extra steps. You must not live in small town, middle America or, oh boy, you would see what a Sea of Humanity it is everyday.
Why don't you stop driving your kid to school? Let him bike over and save yourself the hassle (and him the annoyance of listening to his dad complain about traffic)
Not all of us live in a megalopolis on the eastern seaboard. It's three and a half miles on gravel and then a busy state highway. Oh, and he's nine.

Yes. But sometimes society really does decline. In Europe, the middle ages occurred and were not the imagination of the older generation.

Well, a lot of African kids run to school every day barefoot ten times farther than that while dodging bullets from rebel gangs with automatic machine guns.
