I eat drive-through at least once a week
I've had to file bankruptcy
I rarely have any savings
I'm divorced
I prefer to pee outside over using a port-a-potty
I'm 43 and wear short shorts in the summer
I let my kid watch YouTube
I let my kid eat food with Red #40
My kid eats donuts every Saturday
I let my kid cuss at home

OTOH, I have a lovely home, great friends, a PhD, a good job, am respected in my field, I do volunteer work in the community. You can't win 'em all.

Awww my dad got us donuts every Saturday, growing up. Otherwise we had a heavily restricted “health food” type diet, and I remember those donuts so fondly

I don’t know exactly who the father of my second kid is, but it ain’t DH.

I like to use the F word quite a bit.

What this thread has taught me is that there are a lot of really uptight people on DCUM who have really bizarre ideas of what constitutes “trashy behavior”, which is probably due to a pathological desire to social climb.

This! It's so bizarre that some things on here are trashy. Shopping at Trader Joe's? Public school? Donuts? Fast food? Sheesh.

I can one up that. After I ripped the front part of the car loose pulling out of a parking spot, I duct taped it back together. It worked great! I joked with neighbors that I was being fancy because I matched the color of the duct tape to the car paint. I live in Bethesda, and no one tried to kick me out of the neighborhood.

I like to ride DH’s jet ski. Bonus points for “accidentally” swamping a canoe or kayak.

I prefer vanilla funfetti box cake mix and canned vanilla frosting over homemade because that’s what I grew up on.

One of the first truly trashy things I’ve seen on this thread.

This isn’t trashy. This is just mean.

I’m literally sitting in my bed, in pjs, eating ramen, watching Strange Brew and posting on dcum right now. The pjs are the ones I slept in last night and wore all day today. I’m wishing I had a strawberry wine cooler, and contemplating ordering from door dash if I can find something similar enough.
