Society & Culture Things you do/did that you probably think no one else does

I don't always buy bread/rolls/hot cross buns but when I do, I take the butter out of the fridge and leave it out so it's soft when I need to use it

This the one?

 

[Mofra]

This the one?

No, but I have friends who lived in Ireland who swear by it.
I just casually bring up "food miles" in conversation sometimes to shut them up

 

[GreyCrow]

And it's Mrs Interloper to you.

You get your mother to do the dishes?

 

[74561347]

Maybe ask some relatives to buy you a(nother) dishwasher

turns out the government looks down on buying people even if you went to Venezuela yourself, paid for them and have a receipt

She's dead mate, you think this is funny?

(And yes she used to)

Eat over the bin

Eat over the bin

Eat still wearing my apron, particularly if it's spaghetti or something. Oh and I like to eat spaghetti with chop sticks sometimes.

 

[Halloween Jack]

When driving somewhere I like to turn on the map and guess when the minutes to destination and kms remaining match. For example, if the map says 1 hour 51 minutes and 158kms, I might guess it matches up at 11kms and 11 minutes. Game is to see how close I get.

 

[Halloween Jack]

I forgot to add, there are two elements to the game, how many kms out and how many minutes out. Example, I was on a long drive over the weekend and my guess was 30. When I got to 30 minutes there was still 35kms to go, so out by 5kms. However then I hit a largish regional town with traffic lights etc which slowed me down. So I didn't hit parity until 7. Therefore was out by 23 minutes. Not my best result.

This sounds fun, gonna try it next time.

I’ve got one which says “cooks do it in the kitchen”

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

If I use cruise control at say 110 but I know there’s a sign coming up that might say 80, I’ll turn off cruise control and not touch anything and see if I can roll to the sign right on 80.

I live in Perth and merge like a zipper ie I let the car in front merge comfortably by slowing down for it to slot in.

I call bullshit, you must live somewhere that's not Perth if you can do that

When reading a book, if the author is describing an action someone did (raise eyebrows, puzzled look, scratch head in confusion), I often do this too.

Wow that's a new one on me, no one else on here does that I reckon

 

[phantom13]

I reckon I do it if it’s ultra descriptive or confusing just to help me visualize. Like “he raised his eyebrow” nah but “ he furrowed a single brow with conviction, narrowing his gaze with a fiery intensity” yeh I’m trying that

I sometimes do if im reading a book to my 3yo

The responses in this thread remind me of this:

I just googled "bi weekly" because I wanted to know if it was every two weeks or twice a week.

Instead it's a periodical, yeah?

I think if something happens "periodically" it happens at intervals which arent always the same, maybe that's the difference (I didn't google that one)

No you mean intersporadically.

I assumed youd get some pretty blue results to that
