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?!

Harrisonburg, Virginia. I found that out the hard way.

I park in the pregnant/expecting mother parking spaces. IDGAF.

And no, I don't also park in handicap, vet parking, or police only spaces.

If I forget to take my reusable back into the store and I use one of their bags, I never pay for it. I always hit 0 bags and move on with life.

The purpose of those tags is so that the consumer knows what they mattress they're buying is made from, hence why it's illegal for the retailer to remove the tags. Once you've bought it, feel free to cut off the tags. There's no reason you shouldn't, since the regulation only applies to sellers, not consumers.

Post action sheets don’t get changed?


Wait, you're supposed to change the sheets every time you have sex?? No way people do that, right?


Only if it's shark week.

I use my phone on the plane until the cell service cuts off.

I wear underwear until it falls apart.


Please see the underwear thread....

I do this too with absolutely no guilt.

35 instead of 25 will not kill you in the car necessarily, but it will kill a pedestrian faster

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.


This makes no sense whatsoever. Please explain how going 35 in a 25 will kill you, but going 70 in a 65 won't.

Speed limits are designed for the least capable vehicles and drivers on the road.


No, they are designed for people like you who overestimate their abilities.


Yes, and if you drive over 90mph on an empty stretch of highway your car will fly right off the road and explode!

The German autobahn is proof of that.

I put bras and leggings in the dryer on low instead of hanging them up. I know they wear out faster. I do not care.

Sometimes I give things on Buy Nothing to people I know or like, but I pretend it’s random.
