I personally have finished three chapsticks from top to bottom. (using them correctly, not eating them.)

Every once in awhile, I will wash, dry, and FOLD all my laundry in one day.

That's a grand achievement

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Right? This was for simple stuff.

Only when company is coming over. And I never have company over.

I answered a ringing payphone, just like in the movies.

In a public school that had is own number, a harmless prank people used to pull was to dial the payphone's own number then immediately hang up and dash off. It would then ring and confuse the person who was nearest.

I ended up with the absolute worst shopping buggy in the store, constantly clacking and hanging up. I found it was somehow much easier to push backwards..

People looked at me funny, but hey, if it seems stupid but works, it's not stupid.

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago

I actually like driving backwards sometimes because you can do cool reverse 180 spins

I committed to sleeping in a silk bonnet every night, and my hair is so much nicer now :)

In line with your submission, I kept a Bic pen from brand new to absolutely gone. It took years, but I'm not exactly jotting down notes all day.

Now I carry a nub of a carpenter's pencil with me and I'm much happier.

I can place my hands in front of my chest and make circles, hands going in opposite directions.

How the hell did you finish 3 chapsticks?

[–] derekabutton@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In the last few years I've finished a dozen or so. In college I used about 1 pen per semester from start to finish in the same way. I tend to use nail clippers until they are dull, too.

I leave a chapstick (Burt's bees) at my desk at home and another in the pants I go out with (which moves to new pants with my wallet as necessary). Hard to lose things when I have a system, I guess.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I've had the same pair of nail clippers for like, 20 years now? The brand doesn't exist anymore, sadly.

I slept with your mom. I know she bangs everyone, but it meant something to me.
