My aunt called me out on skipping ground rods

My aunt Darla has a 30 year old house in Phoenix and I put in a new cable drop without a ground rod because I was in a hurry. She asked why I skipped it and when I said it was fine she said "your grandpa would roll over in his grave." Has anyone else had a homeowner call them out on something you thought they wouldn't notice?

Wait, you seriously skipped a ground rod in Phoenix... that's wild.

Spent three summers there and never once thought about a ground rod.
