Sometimes I check...
Sometimes I test and grade people, sometimes perfumes.
Both times, it's not just the performance itself that's important, but also the context.
If someone does their best, shows commitment and ultimately doesn't perform well, then so be it. That's fine and not a bad thing. The examinee is not a bad person and I know that other things are more important. So what?
But if someone who could actually do better gives me a lousy performance in a totally unmotivated and indifferent manner, then I get annoyed at the disrespect shown.
It is precisely this feeling that "By Terry" has turned into a "perfume" here.
Unmotivated, uninspired, indifferent, you are offered just enough here to be awarded the rating "sufficient", but without any recognition of will to fight or the like. - This is just as lacking as durability or sillage.
A fresh laundry fragrance that has been smelled a thousand times before, with a few incredibly artificial and cheap maritime notes that would have been just enough for "Meister Proper Oceanfresh".
I can tolerate something like that as deodorant for 13-year-olds, but when it's sold to me as "perfume"...
Yes, then I get annoyed.
