For me it’s drive thrus. I don’t go through them as much anymore and they all seem different.

Do I talk to the board, or to the little girl with the iPad?


Do I stop at the sliding patio door or go all the way to the Drive thru parking spot? What the hell is with the sliding patio door?!


Should I just use the app and park?




Do y’all have any to add?

Getting excited for good deals in the grocery store flyer and telling other people about it. Kroger had chicken drums on sale for $0.49/lb and I sent a picture of it to my mom.

Going to bed at 9:00 pm.

My dad did this and slept like a log, nothing could wake him up, we were in and out all night and he never had a clue.

Now I’m that guy

Back when cows were cheap we would get an 800 pounder and make all ground meat. Cost us $1,200 for cow and processing, get 400 pounds of good ground meat. That cow is now 3,500 plus processing. So now I just wait to catch a rump roast, chuck, or brisket on sale and grind it myself. I can usually get 10-20 pounds for $5 a pound and it's much better than what is called ground meat at the grocery, which goes for $6 a pound now.

My FiL keeps sending me pics of this $3.77 a pound roll of ground beef that I absolutely refuse to eat. He just can't walk away from the "deal".

Have an old guy wondering when his neighbor is gonna mow/rake his lawn or trim his hedge. Anything to do with lawn or home maintenance would be spot on.

Another would be having an old person go up to strangers at the store and share information about sale items.

Kroger recently had $10 cash back on 24 pack Coors Banquet usable up to 3 times. $14 for the case after the cash back. I told everyone I know.

I love a good early bedtime. My parents are night owls. They take a long siesta in the afternoon. Even in their old age, not unusual for them to be up after midnight.

Going to Walmart everyday and knowing the store better than the employees. I’ve helped many a fellow customer find items.

My wife and kids claim I screw up the order every time I order at the drive-thru. They say I order weird, just trying to help the workers.
