    For me, talking to new people. When I was in kindergarten, I’d just go up to a new kid, and be like"Hi! Wanna be my friend??? Great! We’re friends now!"

    Today it’s more like “Who are you, and why are you in my vicinity???”

              Eh, I’d rather not dig up old comments and incite people to start attacking them. I was just making an offhanded comment because I’ve noticed them around a lot with some pretty uninformed takes that rubbed me the wrong way. Probably shouldn’t have said anything.

                  I regret bringing politics into this joke thread, so I’m gonna go with your take on Star Wars being better under Disney than George Lucas.

    Going out in public. When you’re young you really don’t notice just how fucking stupid people are. It gets to the point you actively avoid being in groups of people due to the overwhelming amount of stupid. Shopping trips go from whenever you want to aiming for when the store opens or just before close so the hoards of fools are less likely to be around.

      I fell in love with the city about a decade ago but now in my 30’s just walking the dog around the block pisses me off.

      You really need to park in the middle of the street to drop someone off when there’s tons of available street parking at 2 PM on a Tuesday?

      You’re mad at me because your dog barked at mine after you chased me down while I was actively trying to avoid you?

      What’s up with that Honda that always sits in the middle of an obscure and dangerous intersection for like 10 minutes every day?

      Some days I wish I lived in a cabin in the forest, damn.

      Yeah similarly you also get worse at being responsible on nights out the more often you go out drinking

    Signing my name. If you’ve ever had to sign on a mortgage, oh my God they start out looking like words and end up looking like scribbles.

      My realtor told us on the first day "just scribble in the rough shape of your name, you’ve gotta do 500 signatures may as well be consistent "

      My wife and I were gonna order stamps to do it but that’s not allowed.

    Weirdly Bowling. The first games I can hit a couple strikes the later games I’m seriously considering putting the barricades up.

    Getting married. The more times people have been married, the less likely they are to have a good marriage.

      Aren’t you comparing getting married to being married here? I guess if you got married 11 times, you should be quite good in the process of getting married like knowing all the procedures, organizing everything, finding the right words etc.

      You might even get a special rebate as you probably know the staff of the involved companies better than your spouses at this rate.

        after the first five or so, nobody wants to show up and make wishes, so people just elope with a couple of witnesses in the will.

      Look, my coke habit isn’t a problem. Just shut up and help me cover the windows with this aluminum foil. It’s the only thing that blocks the surveillance rays from the FBI agents that are hiding in the rosebushes. And watch out for the neighbor’s dog. I’m pretty sure he’s working with them.

    Sysprep on the same image, apparently. Can only be done a few times and any more than the max and it fails, according to my coworker who taught me how to use this thing.

    Really weird utility in Windows but I’m guessing it’s done to prevent people from pirating the OS or something.
