People Recall the First Time They Thought, “I’m Old”

Getting old really isn’t that bad – there are plenty of upsides, with my favorite being not having to fix my hair and also not caring what random people think about my hair.

The downsides are mostly pain-related, if you ask me.

It happens to all of us, and like these 13 people, we can all recall one of the first moments we realized it was really happening.

13. Everyone “hot” is younger than me.

When you realize that almost every actor and actress on TV commercials is younger than you.

12. At first you wonder who they’re talking to.

Teenagers have started to call me “Mr.”, and not ironically.

11. Those things can be an investment.

When I got excited about buying a new bin.

Bought it, looked at it for days thinking how nice it is.

10. They’re all about the memes.

when my students told me they had never seen the matrix, but they thought they maybe recognized a meme from it ?

9. Get off my lawn, Simpsons.

When I watched new Simpsons for the first time in years, and could hear the age in their voices.

I felt like shaking my fist at a cloud.

8. Our interests have changed.

At a gathering and all the younger people were talking about video games or movies, my friends and I were discussing homeowner related stuff and the older people were discussing their health issues and medications.

My friends wife laughed and said we are now middle age and medicating talk is next for us all.

7. Bless her mama heart.

I was driving and saw a very attractive younger guy running shirtless on the sidewalk.

My immediate thought was “OMG dude! I hope you wore enough sunscreen today!”

6. Ah, back in the day.

I was telling the story of how I broke my back in a car accident.

Someone asked why the airbags didn’t go off or I didn’t just use my cell to call for help.

Both of those things were new when I was old enough to drive.

5. Cringe city.

When I started a sentence with “Well, before the Internet, we used to…”

4. That initial reaction will circle back around.

When I realized it’s acceptable to say “Congratulations” instead of “Oh Shit” when a friend of mine gets pregnant.

3. “To my dog.” Perfect.

When I heard people outside and grumbled about f%cking teenagers to my dog.

2. It can seem overwhelming.

I have no idea what’s happening in music right now.

And I don’t mean that in a wrong generation, “back in my day!” Kind if way.

I mean that I literally have no idea what is happening.

I used to be so plugged in. I knew all the coolest bands and went to all the best shows. I was giving recommendations to people, I was making mix cds, it was my dream job to be a music supervisor for tv. Now.. I don’t know anything any more. I try, but it’s overwhelming.

1. That’s some kind of realization.

“Damn, this grocery store is playing my jams.”

Congrats to all who are getting older, because it means you’re still alive!

Tweets That Wax Nostalgic for Old School Pizza Hut

2020 has unexpectedly given us time to look back at things we miss from childhood, and Pizza Hut as it used to be is one of them.

Yes, Pizza Hut is very much is still in existence. However, in decades past, it was a sit-down restaurant that was more slow service than fast food. Come with us to remember the sights, sounds, and smells of sizzling pizza in a cast iron pan, and ice-cold Pepsi, a yummy salad bar and hours of video game fun.

Let’s start with this delicious legend:

The restaurants looked a lot different.

We’d kill for one of these lamps!

They gave off that old school Italian restaurant vibe.

We can almost taste the macaroni salad side—yum!

These glasses kept your Pepsi extra cold too.

He’s right; it had a certain unforgettable taste to it.

Pizza Hut taught some of us how to read.

If you want to teach kids to read today, this is the way to do it!

You got a serious bang for your buck.

And all the video games you could possibly stand.

People that haven’t experienced old school Pizza Hut don’t know what they’re missing.

Even today’s Pizza Hut agrees. You know what you have to do guys!

There are so many things like this that we miss, we don’t even know where to begin. Wouldn’t it be great to revisit Pizza Hut as it was just one more time?

What are some places you’re nostalgic for? Let us know in the comments below!

People Share Their Tips for Getting Around the System

Most of us try to be honest and do the right thing most of the time, but here’s the truth: business, the government, other people…they’re always looking for ways to take advantage of you and your hard-earned cash.

So maybe people also feel like, if there’s a harmless way to get some of the power back, we should take it.

If you feel that way, here’s how 14 people manage to do just that.

14. Never give up your coupon unless they ask!

Dominoes.

We got a voucher in the post with a code they said “collection only, one use, surrender coupon upon use”.

Used it on their website and it worked for 50% off, carried on using it for 2 years every week, then one day it stopped working.

13. This is so meta.

The playstation had a mouse.

A local electronic chain was selling them at clearance for $2 each.

Game Stop was giving $15 or $10 cash for each.

I cleared out one store, got cash for them all, then cleared out two more and got a bunch of games in trade.

12. But you could have actually…tried?

Our English department in high school ran every class the same way. We do an in class essay at the beginning of the year to gauge your current writing ability, and every subsequent essay would be compared to that and your grade is 100% based on improvement.

I’d just write a garbage essay the first time then get an A only half-a$$ing everything

11. Don’t fall for the update trick!

When Verizon got rid of unlimited data in like 2011, it triggered the switch to limited when you upgraded your phone.

I transferred my upgrade to my sister’s account (who already switched to limited,) got the phone and put my Sim card in it. Had unlimited until 2015

10. I really hope she didn’t.

A girl in my high school computers class won a $500 scholarship by doing something similar. She bombed the start of the year test and placed a little above average on the final. They gave the scholarship to whoever improved the most, not who did the best.

I didn’t know her well enough to know if she did it on purpose.

9. Ahhh, high school.

We were the first senior class to be given laptops in high school. It came with some monitoring application that allowed teachers to see when we were using our laptops, watch our screens, etc. We didn’t have the rights to disable it or kill the service but it took a buddy of mine in our programming class about a week to write a little program that would do it anyway.

Click a button and it kills the service. Click it again and the service restarts. This was even better than not being monitored at all because it gave teachers a false sense of security.

We could turn it on when attendance was being taken and then turn it off when test time came so we could Google all the answers. Also spent a lot of time chatting, playing alpha Minecraft, etc. when we were supposed to be taking notes in class. Basically just did whatever we wanted that year lol. Good times

8. That’s a good day right there.

I once bought a snickers and it knocked the bag of Doritos that was sitting against the glass down and i got both.

That’s it. I won life.

Game over.

7. Kids will make time to subvert the system.

In my school we got some of the first computers too and man did they try to shut those things down so we couldn’t sue them for anything but education.

However, that’s how I found the gems of portable flash-drive Minecraft and Halo. We made 4 versions of Halo CE and 2 of Minecraft, and even when they banned one, we still had the others to fallback on.

The kids in our school distributed flash-drives with the games on them and everyone downloaded them to their disks.

We had LAN games during breaks and classes and built some pretty awesome servers and custom Halo modes. We’d be playing it during class and as soon as the teacher came around everyone minimized the tab and we consecutively agreed to stop playing until the teacher had sat back down so no one would die during the ‘inspection’.

I even found a way to watch the educational version of YouTube, which included Good Mythical Morning, a funny channel I never knew I needed.

Twas the best experience I ever had in high school.

6. But you didn’t earn it, though.

Years ago, I played some little Flash game in my browser and at the end I could submit my score to an online scores list. But I noticed that on submitting the score, the browser redirected to a new address that had my player name and the score as URL parameters.

I copied the address, changed the score parameter to ‘9999999999999’, pasted in the new address, and got my name at the top of the list.

5. You gotta love capitalism.

I did this to pay for my Xbox one X. I actually do stuff like this pretty often, but I usually don’t say anything about it because you never brag about the things you get away with, that’s how you stop getting away with them.​

In this case, though, Game Stop was doing a deal where they would give an extra 70% on certain games and one of them was some plants vs. zombies game, they were offering $27/pop for them.

Come to find out, that specific game was on clearance at Walmart and target for $5/each. I went to every store that had stock within a 20 mile radius, then opened the games and traded them in. The first few Game Stops I went to only allowed me to trade in 5 copies at a time. Then only one.

By that time, though, I’d acquired about $250 in credit so I checked trade values on other games and purchased used copies (getting 10% off with pro membership) and re-traded them in at the next Game Stop I went to. Breath of the wild, pretty much any Pokemon game, and Mario Kart 8 were moneymakers, usually in the $15-20 range.

I stopped once I’d made enough to pay for my Scorpio Edition One X, I probably could have made even more, but I didn’t want to push my luck any further. Ended up paying about $70 total for the initial investment, and about 4 hours on my day off going back and forth.

God bless America.

4. It’s no one’s fault but their own.

My local grocery store has a mobile app offer that gives you a 10$ gift card if you spend $50+. It’s supposed to be one time use only… But I’ve used it like, 6-7 times. Because I use the self checkout, I can’t receive the gift card at time of purchase, therefore it doesn’t register to my store card that I’ve used the offer.

I also have a few receipts that customer service never marked off as having the offer redeemed, so I’ve been tempted to go back and try to redeem them again …

3. Quite clever, if you ask me.

In college I studied to be a teacher (it ended up not working out :/). I was taking a class where we learned how to create proper assessments and tests.

As part of the class, the professor would usually have us design test items for one or two questions during like quizzes and stuff. Then she said we’d be doing this for the final exam.

So the questions were all to be multiple choice. The /entire/ class got together and devised a system. The questions you design are all to include a person’s name (Mr. Allen or Mrs. Black). Whatever the first letter of their last name was would correlate with the answer options (A, B, C, D, or E).

We all finished the test in less than 10 minutes and nobody was the wiser when we all got 100%.

2. In case you’re the sort of person who enjoys self torture.

In monopoly, you buy as many houses as you can and never upgrade to hotels. You get to the point where they run out of house pieces so your opponent can’t buy them (all legal within the rules) and they have no options to upgrade.

Sit back and collect that rent yo.

1. This is a wholesome deal.

Back when me and my GF were poor I would go to the local supermarket (Sainsbury’s) at the end of the night when they were reducing food going out of date to a few pence.

Some of the items, at full price, were discounted for buying multiples e.g. £1 each or 2 for £1.50. The way the till worked, it would add £2 to the bill then deduct 50p at the end. Some of the stuff would be reduced to say 20p but if I bought 2 of them (40p) it would still deduct 50p at the end of the bill giving me a 10p profit.

I would buy loads of these and make the bill look reasonable by getting some “luxury” items, which in those days was stuff like coffee. As long as the bill was over a few pounds the tellers didn’t seem to notice.

Then I would go all round town giving the bulk of it to homeless folk and put the rest in the freezer.

TL;DR Sainsbury’s paid me to take food.

I love the small and big ways people get away with it, don’t you?

People Share the Worst Thing They’ve Witnessed at a Funeral

Funerals should be one of those sacred places where people are on their best behavior. Someone has died, their friends and family have gathered to remember them and say goodbye, so it seems like a no-brainer that guests should try not to be awful.

These 14 people definitely spied others who didn’t get the message, though.

14. That poor kiddo.

A few years back, when the uncle of my mother died my young cousin (8) cried a lot at the funeral. It took some time but eventually he calmed down and his parents went for a little walk with him for some distraction.

But then he noticed that his first name was written on one of the tombstones. He mentions it loudly and one of the bystanders said: ”Yeah its already reserved for you”.

He immediately started crying again…

13. When you can’t even give the man ONE DAY.

The gentleman had a large family and all of his siblings got up and made it all about themselves, dredged up old family drama, made it clear that they resented his wife, etc.

It was so painfully awkward.

12. You’d think he could keep it together for an hour.

My uncle was pissed about something in my grandmother’s Will. So during the funeral, he went out to the parking lot and keyed everyone’s car.

It should be noted, he has severe brain injury from a motorcycle accident that causes him to be constantly angry and paranoid. Still…

11. This is odd, but not terrible.

I had a fit of hysterical laugh at my father’s funeral just about the time people started to gather at the mortuary.

In my defense, my mother had a nervous breakdown (my father died 4 days after we found out he had lung cancer), there was a lot of shitty stuff surrounding the funeral organization, my mom just flipped, my siblings were 15 and lost so I was at 23 left to handle it all.

I kinda lost it.

10. Jeez. Talk about the wrong time and place.

My husband went to his great aunt’s funeral and while they did the little ceremony in the cemetery, great aunt’s granddaughters were all hiding behind a tombstone giggling and doing coke.

9. This makes me sick to my stomach.

One of my students’ mother died. I went to the funeral with the principal and the student’s integration aide.

After the funeral her father walked up to her and her grandmother and said “I want her out of the house by tomorrow morning”. She was 11 years old.

8. That scene belongs in a movie.

My brother in law is a mortician. Boy does he have stories….

One of the best- A guy disguised himself as a nun, shows up at the funeral, pulls a gun from under his habit and tries to shoot the deceased’s son. Luckily the gun malfunctioned and didn’t fire.

The son then decks the nun and knocks him out, kicks him in the head a few times, and is pulled off by other family. Police are called, yada yada yada… turns out the deceased owed the nun quite a lot of money and the son had refused to honor the debt.

7. Maybe he thought they were compliments?

Her ex told us about all the great things she did in bed and what a loss for mankind that is.

In present of her boyfriend.

6. No time to waste, I guess.

At my father’s funeral, one of my aunts asked my mom when would she get out of the house.

5. Was this an episode of The Office?

He handed out his business cards at his stepdaughter’s funeral.

There was very nearly a fistfight!

4. Ohhhh my heart.

I knew a guy who climbed up into the casket with his grandfather. This one’s sweet and wholesome.

He was around four years old. He wasn’t sure what was going on, and people weren’t giving him much attention. He asked someone what his grandfather was doing in a box at the front of the room. A relative, thinking they were explaining death in an age appropriate way, told him that grandpa went to sleep, and won’t wake up again.

So we went up to the casket, and climbed up. The room froze in shock. Then he said, “Good night, grandpa,” and he kissed him. Adults told him later you could hear a pin drop and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

3. What is wrong with people?

When my grandad passed and we went to view his body at the crematorium my aunt started stealing from the facility the second the employees back was turned.

Just shoving anything that wasn’t nailed down into her purse and pockets.

Unbelievable. And yes we called her out and made her put it all back.

2. None of this is ok.

My sister murdered her father(my stepfather…at the time we didn’t know she was guilty)

BTW Just so you know she did this purely for financial gain

During the viewing she drug her little boy to the casket and because he didn’t cry enough to suit her she pinched him on the upper arm until he was sobbing then took him around to everyone saying he was really crying because he loved his Gramps so much

1. This is truly awful.

No where near as bad as most comments but the family didn’t allow for his twin to speak.

Straight up skipped over the allocated time for the living twin to get up and speak about his brother. Who was his last remaining immediate family.

I don’t think I can ever forgive the late wife for putting him through that. She treated him so horribly all throughout the sickness, and then to not allow him to be a part of the funeral was the final nail in the coffin.

I don’t even know how I would handle these events!

People Share What They Thought Made Someone Rich When They Were Kids

Children grow up in the bubble of their family’s reality. Whatever’s normal at their house is normal, at least until they start school and start to visit their friends’s houses, and realize that not everyone’s “normal” looks the same.

If you grew up poor, or middle class, there were probably some things that’s existence completely amazed you – people who had those things were rich, surely.

Looking back now, it can seem silly, but everything is bigger and better when you’re small!

12. Still too rich for my blood.

It all gets to Netflix eventually.

11. Those ice machines, man.

A blessing and a curse, they are.

10. Total luxury.

Have one, still appreciate it.

9. That kid was cleaning up!

Little entrepreneur, that one.

8. I never thought about this.

Going to check in my next car purchase, though.

7. In some parts of the world, no one has it.

And I would not like to live there, no thanks.

6. I was so lucky my mom got a teacher discount.

We even had a Mac.

5. I bet he took better care of his, though.

Life lessons are surely worth something.

4. I still don’t understand the point.

Everyone knows they’re tissues.

3. A garage would be hard to live without, in extreme temperatures.

And some people just fill theirs with junk!

2. Like winning the lottery.

There were two houses in our neighborhood.

1. I still think this.

Probably because I’ve never lived in a house with double front doors.

I definitely had some of these ideas myself, how about you?

Add something to the list, please!

People Dish on Their Favorite Ways to Game the System

Most people try their best to be honest and trustworthy when it matters, but listen…. when you live in a capitalist society, the little man can be a bit tired of getting taken advantage of by the Man, and well …they look for ways to take a little back.

If you’re feeling all “damn the man” today, here’s how 12 people choose to game the system.

Some actually pretty good tips here!

12. It’s not the worst strategy. Except you’re still playing Monopoly.

In Monopoly i always go aim for jail so i can make money without any risks.

11. I just call that being smart.

I took a portable x-ray machine home every night, it was mandatory. So if my dog or anyone I loved had a doggie that needed a radiograph not only was it free, it was read by a radiologist.

10. But do you have a cat?

I once got a few hundred cans of cat food that were in the 80c price range coupled with a 2$ off coupon. I got a ton of cat food free and in the range of 80 bux in groceries free since the grocery store doesn’t pay out like that with coupons.

Note, math is probably off as i don’t remember exact values. This was a few years ago.

9. This seems like risky business.

Frequented the same convenience store every morning on my way to work. About a week before I turned 20, I started telling the employees that my 21st Birthday was at the end of the week and I would be coming the buy my first legal beer.

Did this every day for a week. So at the end of the week when I got off work I went the that store, grabbed a 12 pack and the clerk said happy birthday, this ones on us. For the next year I bought beer there every weekend and never showed anyone an ID.

8. Kids, man.

I used to play Magic.

Went to a card shop in a different town while visiting my dad to pick up a couple packs. I did so, opened them, and pulled some good stuff so I decided to trade in the rates for more packs.

The employee used the store sell price to buy the cards off of me instead of their buy price.

I spent the next hour there opening packs and trading in my rates until the shift change happened and his replacement did things the right way.

I walked out with over an entire box worth minus most of the rares.

7. Sadly, most stores have a gallon limit now.

My uncle is a carpenter.

He buys gift cards to Lowe’s (home improvement store) from the grocery store, thousands of dollars’ worth at a time, and uses those to buy all his business supplies. Meanwhile the credit from buying the gift cards gets added to his grocery store loyalty card.

This is redeemable as discounted gas. Well, he also has a 500-gallon gas tank in his yard. A few times a year, he loads the back of his pickup with 50-gallon drums and uses the accumulated discount to fill them all up at a dollar-something per gallon, and then has half-price (or less) gas until the next trip in. “They set up the dominoes, I just knock ’em down,” he says.

6. That’s one way to find a bright side I guess.

I got suspended from school for a year.

The year below me had different requirements for the psychology major. Now I don’t have to take french

5. Capitalism for the win!

Back in the late 90s early 2000s we had this punk rock music store in our town. Well, record companies would send them all kinds of free sample stuff and they had a big tub at the entrance of the store where they put all the bumper stickers and album singles they got and the customers could just grab any of the stuff they want.

Well they started getting all of these N’Sync and Backstreet Boys bumper stickers and patches and posters… the store is not exactly the market for pop music.

My boyfriend and I grabbed all of the pop music stuff and sold them on eBay. Those teeny boppers wanted anything they could get their hands on. I was able to buy my first car!

4. I suppose these people talk.

Not mine but back in the early 2000s when blockbuster was trying to compete with GameStop. They were having a promo of trade in any 3 used games and get a new game for $10.

So my friend would go to GameStop and buy three madden games for dirt cheap. Less than $10 combined. He would then go to blockbuster and trade in those used games and get a new one for $10.

Eventually they caught on and he got banned from both stores.

3. Talk about winning the game.

bar down the street from me had a deal for 25oz domestic drafts for 2$. I’d order Labatt, and they would only charge me $2.

THAT’S A CANADIAN IMPORT BABY!

2. I never would have thought of this.

Short version is: cousin and I found keys to lockers on the bottom of the pool and returned them for five bucks a piece, used that money to then buy all day passes for three restaurants in the water park that we did all of this in.

Made out like f*cking bandits because we did this all day every day in the summer of 2009 or so.

Water park was called Aquatica, I spent my money on video games, he spent his on hair products

1. They weren’t prepared.

Game Stop has those promotions for 15-20% extra credit on trades, usually after E3. I took this opportunity to trade in a bunch of games, and spread them all out over the ones showcased in E3 to maximize my trade-ins.

After it’s all said and done and the transaction is complete, I’ll say “Okay, now I’d like to cancel all of those pre-orders”, and then put it toward something that wasn’t part of the promotion. Annoyed the store manager that was doing all of this, as it cost her 10 pre-orders. That’s how I got my 3DS XL.

I’m feeling some of these – so clever!

People Consider All of These Things Signs of Bad Manners

Manners and propriety can seem old fashioned, but here’s the thing – some of them are outdated, and some were super specific and only applied to upper class interactions. Others, though, are just the respectful way to interact with society.

Eschewing those kind – like these 14 – shows a lack of caring about yourself, your friends and family, and anyone else you might run into on a daily basis.

14. Seriously – headphones!

People who let their kids watch annoying ass YouTube videos in public places without headphones. Pure trash.

13. I have no idea why a person would do this.

When I’m out with a friend and we meet someone they know but I don’t, and that person makes no effort to introduce themselves to me or include me in the conversation.

Like, I know I’m the designated Less Hot Friend but you don’t have to remind me of it

12. It’s so easy to throw away your trash.

Leaving their rubbish at a fast food restaurant.

Most offenders are parents who think it’s their day off or teenagers that have learned this behavior from said parents.

11. It’s just common courtesy.

People that don’t put their weights away at the gym.

God this pisses me off so much.

NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME LIFTING ROUTINE AS YOU CHAD.

I threw my back out pretty badly and the free weight machines were the only ones that didnt hurt me for some reason. Trying to lift a 20kg weight from heights above your waist with cooked spaghetti for a back is PAINFUL. I had to ask someone to help me move weights so I could use the machine once. So embarrassing.

10. And now with the one-way arrows…

When grocery shoppers leave their carts in the middle of the aisle instead of pulling over.

Come on folks… it’s not that hard!

9. Respect is earned.

People who act mean towards others for apparently no reason.

I got this friend who always talks down to younger people and I’m like “you need to gain people’s respect, don’t take it for granted”

8. It’s so simple and it goes a long way!

Not saying “Thank You” to stuff like someone holding a door open for them or a waiter/waitress refilling their drink.

Just be nice, please!

7. You’ve got to read the room.

Overstaying your welcome or inviting yourself to things. I had a friend who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Like get the hint. It’s midnight and you’ve been here all day.

I am not talking about someone who just doesn’t get hints because they are oblivious. I’m talking about someone who will make excuses and guilt trip their way into staying even after clear reminders that they need to leave soon. Or even just saying to them it’s time for them to get out.

If you don’t get hints that’s totally okay as long as you understand when someone asks you to leave.

6. That’s a good way to get a shot of saliva in your beverage.

People who click their fingers at waiting or bar staff.

5. Life doesn’t have to be a competition.

When they turn everything into a one up contest.

4. Don’t just wait to talk.

Interrupting mid sentence.

I know I’m guilty at times, it makes me feel like trash.

3. Understand when people are just doing their jobs.

Yelling at retail workers. Most recently about wearing masks or putting hand sanitizer on.

It takes little to no effort and people lose their minds over it

2. This isn’t kindergarten, folks.

Cutting!!!! In!!!!! Line!!!!!

This old lady tried to skip me in line (seemed easy for her as I was social distancing…) and I gave her “the look”, she then silently proceeds to walk over to the cashier to ask if she can cut in line…

The laughs from all of us waiting in line proceeded as she was denied via a confused “no you may not…” + a wtf look from the cashier ?

1. Any kind of grooming in public, tbh.

People who cut their nails on public transportation.

Do your grooming at home.

Don’t be like these people, y’all – consider those around you!

Actions That People Say Prove a Person Has No Manners

Some people probably think that manners are antiquated or overrated, but as someone raised in the Midwest, I can promise you that for more of us, that’s simply not true.

The thing is, we live in a society, and we’re all better off if there’s some kind of bar as far as how to act when we’re in a group setting, don’t you think?

If you’re worried about your manners, or those of your kids, here are 16 things people say are a dead giveaway that yours are lacking.

16. No one wants to watch your kids.

I used to work in a toy shop and people thought it was okay to just leave their kids to run around while they went shopping.

We had to call security so many times to find the parents because they just wouldn’t understand our shop was not a play area.

15. Just be aware of your surroundings.

Standing in the middle of the aisle at a grocery store.

Not returning the cart.

14. It’s called headphones, people.

Blasting music on the bus, absolute tw*ts.

13. The movie is not a babysitter.

People who let their kids run around in a movie theater, kick the back of your seat repeatedly, and hang on you.

12. Clean up after yourself.

People who leave their litter and uneaten food all over fast food restaurant tables, and the floor area.

11. My 3yo already does this, so.

Coughing or sneezing without covering your mouth.

10. I do not understand why people do this.

When they walk into an elevator before you have a chance to get off.

Same w buses and subways.

9. We all know about please and thank you, right?

When you offer your time and money to drive someone and they don’t thank you for the ride.

8. That’s a quick way to decide you don’t need him as a friend.

Hung out with a co-worker once and he threw all his garbage out the window of his car onto the street.

Never hung out with him again.

7. It’s like he thinks he lives with a maid?

so i have a roommate who i’m entirely convinced has absolutely no manners whatsoever.

for context, i live in the barracks, so i have no choice but to live with this guy. i have a million and a half stories about this guy, but i guess i’ll start with the basics. doesn’t clean up after himself, and refuses to help clean – even if he’s a guest in someone else’s home. chain smokes/vapes in peoples cars, flicks ash “out the window” but everyone knows that literally will just kick it back into the jeep.

tries to constantly “teach” people things, and will talk your ear off and basically just dominate the conversation. no listening or allowing for a different perspective. motherfucker literally introduced himself to me as “the smartest man in any room”

he plays music and sings in the shower at 4, 5, 6 in the morning and will take 45+ minute showers – 20 minutes to sit on the toilet and 25 to have his concert. the last straw for me was when i came home on leave and saw his flesh light sitting out in the common area table.

we’ve stopped inviting him to places. he sits in his room alone playing xbox all day because i’m not responsible for teaching a 21 year old child basic manners. it’s not happening.

6. Wait, people really do this?

When you’re having a nice chat with someone and they start saying things that don’t seem to make sense to you….then you realize they just answered a call on their @#$% bluetooth phone ear thingy and are not even talking to you any more.

5. Stuff like this breaks my heart.

Inviting everyone in the friend group to an event and excluding just one friend then proceeding to talk about how much fun they’re going to have at said event in front of the person that was purposely excluded , in front of everybody.

Happened today and thought it was pretty rude.

4. It’s like they don’t even notice.

Apartment neighbors who slam their doors as hard as they can.

3. Everyone needs to teach their kids this.

When I was a kid in the 80’s, I was driving with a neighbor and I chucked a piece of trash out the window.

She immediately pulled over and made me get out and pick it up. Lesson learned.

2. They think kids are exempt.

Parents who let their children run rampant anywhere.

I’ve seen parents watch as their kid pops their fingers through every package of meat at the grocery store and do nothing….

Parents who let their kids kick a strangers shoe or other belongings

Letting the kids spit on windows and rub it with their hands.

Letting them run around the store, playing with anything and everything and leaving a mess for others to clean and the parents literally just ignore it!!!

I never understood that. They really are your obligation, not the store associate who’s unlucky enough to be working the shift you happen to stroll in during.

Be a parent!!! Bad kids can turn into crappy people

1. Just use your turn signals – that’s what they’re there for!

I can’t even fully understand why this makes me so angry. I am a generally calm person. I’m not hot-headed at all. But when someone doesn’t use a turn signal my blood boils so fast it’s insane!

I think in my mind I assume “if you can’t operate the most basic function of your vehicle mandated by the law – then you have no business driving at all”.

I don’t do any of these – props to my mom and dad!

This Insulated Bowl Will Keep Your Ice Cream Cold For a Looooong Time

I find ice cream the perfect treat no matter what time of year it is, but if you’re someone who especially likes to enjoy a bowl at the height of summer, well…you know that can be hard.

You have to slurp it up super fast, and not really savor and enjoy your ice cream the way you should, because that darn sun is determined to melt it into sweet, fudge-striped milk as soon as possible.

If the mere thought of such a tragedy makes you sad, take heart – someone has created an insulated bowl that keeps your ice cream cold for longer.

For $13, HOST’s Ice Cream FREEZE can be yours!

It’s a double-walled plastic bowl insulted with a cooling  gel that will keep what’s inside cool for hours – as long as you have it in the freezer at least four hours before you want to use it.

Image Credit: Amazon

The bowl is made from BPA-free plastic, has a silicone base that’s easy to hold onto, and holds 18 ounces of deliciousness.

So while ice cream is my go-to cold and frozen treat, the truth is that you could use it to serve anything you want kept cold. I think it would work perfectly at a picnic or outdoor gathering! Your fruit, hummus, guacamole, shrimp cocktail, etc, could stay perfectly chilled for the entire party!

I don’t know about you, but this sounds like one of those little, inexpensive things that could really change the way you summer.

Off to buy myself a set of four!
