At one of my previous jobs, there was a place to eat next to where we worked - literally right next to it. One of my coworkers would, even in fair weather, not take the 2-minute walk from our work to there. Instead he would go to our work parking lot, get in his car, pull out, drive 5 seconds to the restaurant, pull into the restaurant parking lot, get out of his car.
Same type of situation at one of my last work places. Takeout place next door, in the same parking lot. Plenty of people would pay the delivery fee, for the driver to hop in their car and drive maybe 100 yards. We got meal breaks too, it's not like you couldn't leave. I just don't understand.
It's hard to top the very divorced that lives in the McMansion just up the road from me on the outskirts of town and his hobby of rolling a golf cart around the neighborhood with a massive sound system taking up the entire back of the golf cart. The main purpose of it is rolling up and down the street blasting dadrock out of it while nodding his thumb-like head and sipping Bud Lite for a few hours a day.
Oh yeah and he also does that while trying to find lawn conformity violations to report to the city, because he's commissioned himself as everyone's HOA enforcer, whether they're in a HOA or not.
Golf carts can get a dui. I’m normally against calling the cops on people, but a divorced boomer getting a dui while being a menace to his neighbors would so incredibly on brand. He would become the living embodiment of the meme.
my white family members sing a racist version of brown eyed girl. loved it as a kid, and im pretty sure they took out the stuff about black people. I would make them sing it in a bar for my birthdays from like 4-8. it was pretty bad.
I used to live in a ridiculously bougie city and the first time I really grasped that was when I went to the store and there was a pair of guys out front collecting signatures for a ballot measure to both reduce property taxes and keep a golf course open.
I was once at one of those salad bars where the worker preps the salad for you (think subway but with salads). The older white lady in front of me asked the worker "is the mayonnaise spicy?"
Quite endearing in a way. Maybe she had a run in with Wasabi mayo in the past.
Bloke in my street covered his 1m X 1m front garden with an artificial lawn and then spent hours cutting each blade of fake grass to a uniform height. Like, on his knees with a scissors and a rule.
Is it not? Have I forgotten my cars? It's been so long since I've actually been in one or paid any attention to them other than tourists trying to get around in town and failing.
In my hometown every new chain restaurant is packed for the first couple months but new creative restaurants struggle to get off the ground. Popeyes Chicken was causing traffic backups. The soul food fusion restaurant is finally being recognized as a good spot after like 5 years of being open.
White Castle opens and there’s a line around the block for two weeks. That shit’s only edible when you’re drunk, but it’s the middle of the day and you drove there!
