The other day in TJ Max, I seriously considered buying two of the same shirts because it fit so well and the price was so low…



…I thought about the commercial and couldn’t do it. Still got one though.

We have the opposite problem. Our parents will waste 5 Ziplocks + half a roll of masking tape to wrap tupperwared leftovers for the drive home.

The very early ones are some of the best. When they go to the club and they are in line talking to the door guy and he says " 10$ cover? Didnt see that on the website." Also when they are in the nightclub, he tells the waitress "How about a round of jalapeno poppers for me and the boys!" Classic.

I have started to turn off all the lights in the house even though it costs like $0.25 a year to keep those sumbitches on


I spend most of my days at home yelling "close the door", "turn off the lights" or just turning off lights. Kids, the wife...none of them close the door or turn off a light. It's not about the .25 it cost to keep them on, its about the bulbs. This makes me old, but my dad never told us to turn off lights, so I don't know where I got it from.

On the table next to my recliner. Not on the tv stand, or the floor, or between couch cushions.

Yes Lord! Mine would reuse aluminum foil till it damn near crumbled. And she refused to buy paper towels. "Why waste money on paper towels, I wash a load of laundry everyday and most of it's dirty dish towels?"

I used to think my dad was crazy when he'd get home from work and hand water the front yard. I do it every day now.


There's something cathartic about doing that. Get home, grab a cold beer head to the yard to water everything and clear your mind.

In the decorative wooden bowl on the coffee table.

I’ve found them in the pantry, in the kitchen, in his room next to the legos, in the laundry room, and my all time favorite is outside by the basketball goal.

The kids will just take the damn thing with them where ever they go to avoid their sibling getting the power of changing the channel, get distracted, and leave it.

You have to give props for the other company bringing back Mayhem commercials. The latest tic tok spoof is awesome. Especially if you have kids that live on it and seek 10's of 10's views.

I can't decide if those commercials make me feel seen or attacked

Liking books about submarines, buying multiples of tops that fit well (especially if they're work wardrobe staples), excessive throw pillows, washing ziplocs (we mostly use the washable/reusable ones though)

I love the "no fussin' no cussin'" thing because I think it's cute/corny, but I do not like signs with words on them in my home

Not that it applies to me, but i feel the same way when i'm at the movies and people start clapping when it's over.
"No one who had anything to do with this movie is here to hear you clap"

The amount of people that re-use ZipLock bags is blowing my mind.

A relative of my wife does this and we relentlessly make fun of her for it.

Its weird and gross and not worth the time but yall do what you gotta do.

I do the parking lot one now. Park in the back at the game and get out easier. And then talk about it on the whole walk in.

Yup. It's a completely mindless task that helps me unwind. If it's been raining I use a pro plugger to move grass plugs around. Then when the yard gets dry I have to hand water the plugs.

The airport commercial with the printed boarding passes... I always print it in case something happens with my phone. That one hit home.
