Why do you care? Are you not a grown man occupied with your own life’s concerns?

agreed

i also find it weird that people just "make an observation" as they call it.....then run to this board to get everyone else's opinion on it. Its weird grown arse men have to run to a message board to feel validated on their feelings

What I really find odd is the people who lease and turn in their old lease every year or two for the same car in the same color.

One of my neighbors and his new wife have a Honda Accord, his Ex Wife also has a Honda Accord. His is Maroon, both of the women's cars are black.

Honda CRV's have an excellent rating, approximately equal to a BMW X5.

I'll take the X5 every time, as German cars have a long history of being very crash worthy.

It’s not as weird as couples who sit on the same side of the booth when dining alone.

Damn that's a tough one but I do see the latter more so more cringe ASF no doubt.

Matching clothes, matching vehicles, and same side of booth is a trifecta of mega cringe for sure.

Other than the 2 for 1 deal there really is no logical reason for the exact same yr/model/trim/color vehicles.

I seriously know a couple that both own Honda CRV’s

There is a house in my neighborhood with 2 white CRV’s. I’d be getting into the wrong car all the time

Ha! My boyfriend and I always sit on the same side of the table so we can have more physical contact when we're eating. Otherwise we're just bumping knees under the table.

And I bought him the same make/ model car as me (but mine's housed in a different state) for his birthday this year. 6 speed manual Mini Cooper Clubman. Mine rips so I figured he'd love it. He needed a zippy little commuter for Houston traffic.

The various things that people on this board consider “odd” is just fascinating to me

It just seems weird from a logistics standpoint.

Let’s say my wife (no pics) go eat somewhere at a rectangle table that is either a booth or has four chairs, with two on each side.

We’ll sit on opposite sides but staggered so we each have more table room. It avoids bumping elbows sitting next to each other, and bumping knees under the table like someone else mentioned.

ETA I don’t find it weird as in it bothers me, I just think it’s not the most efficient and comfortable way to sit at a table or a booth.

tough to get a handy from across the table.

Why would I expect one at dinner when they don’t ever happen at home

Honestly probably going to do this once my wife's is paid off. Sell mine, take hers and get her the newest version of same vehicle.
