I do not toss everything in my fridge when the power is out for more than 3? hours or whatever is recommended.

I also eat raw cookie dough.

I write thank you notes even if the giver was thanked in person.

You’re only hurting yourself with that one. But fine by me, frees up appts for the rest of us!


I agree with the pp. Don't go looking for trouble.

I'm a rule follower too. I think people who have a rule against eating out alone are crazy. I enjoy it just as much as a good meal out with family or friends. On my own, it's relaxing and quiet and I can choose exactly where I want to eat.

I never fill parking meters as my town doesn't enforce them and when they do the ticket is $20. I'll gladly pay $20 once a decade and just park and not worry.

I don't care that you are supposed to put your phone in airplane mode as soon as the doors close. Whatever.

I ignore all sorts of deadlines because people don't really care. If you send me an email that says "respond and do this thing I need by date X" I know you won't get me in trouble if I don't do it on time. Most deadlines aren't real and I have actual things to do first.

I wear white(ish) pants after Labor Day.

Can this thread be fun? I hope so...


What place still has parking meters that you fill with money?!


Baltimore still had these until last year. Now I just don’t pay the digital meters thst ask for your credit card. The verb was outdated, though, you are correct. I am ok with the grammar police and they come much more often on DCUM than any police in Baltimore.


Here to correct and serve

Post action sheets don’t get changed?

My friend's dad is an accident reconstructionist, an engineer. When it's not clear how a car accident happened or who is at fault, he goes and evaluates and literally goes to the accident site and figures it out, then testifies. I was chatting with him once at a party, and asked what he's learned as a driver from doing this for so many years. He said "speed limits are there for a reason. Five miles over won't kill you, but ten will." I've adhered to that ever since.

Eff all that. It is just performative-theater and fake virtue signaling


There's not such thing as PC. And people haven't used that dumb term in twenty years,

I violated Rule III regularly when I was single.
