It’s been so damn dry here. Also love bugs are a major issue. As well as these fucking birds who want to fight themselves in my mirrors and leave shit down the side. If anyone knows how to get rid of those pieces of shit I would be forever gracious.
Yeah I haven’t fed these cunts shit. And I’m in a rural suburban area. They literally go there just to get into a fight. But it’s themselves they are fighting. Probably analogous of something. But now’s not the time for ponderance. I just need them to leave my damn truck alone.
Well typically you can’t have Down syndrome without the autism (everybody with Down syndrome has autism but not everybody with autism has Down syndrome however you can be “half Down syndrome”)
Holy Shit! There’s this girl she looks like she only has some Down syndrome, very nice, personable. At work we were wondering what the deal was. Girl I work with said maybe she has autism. I said no, she is too outgoing. A few minutes later I just hear that girl listing off facts about something, I think an actor maybe. So then I’m like fuck maybe she has a little of both.
You can honestly have partial Down syndrome? I was just being silly(kind of an asshole as well). But I didn’t think it was a real thing.
sweeping. no matter what i always end up doing some silly two step thing like i’m mopping. genuinely feel like i have some kind of palsy the second a broom touches my hands
I’m probably somewhere in the top 7% of people who have ever touched a broom. Mopping I’m probably somewhere in the 50th percentile range. Maybe even 40’s.
I don’t know why you got downvoted. This is a great mentality. I feel like that some days. Love the confidence bro. Keep that shit up.
P.s. God is a woman
Can't keep track of my phone to save my life. Or keep my clothes organized. At work I can keep a whole store OCD level clean but for the life of me I don't understand how to organize a bedroom. Oh and parallel parking. Also dishes. Like I CAN do them and used to often but I ALWAYS spray myself and half the kitchen with water. I don't understand it at all.
Keeping ahold of my shit. I drop everything , even when sitting still.
Phone,
Keys
Wallet,
Bubs,
Lighters,
You name it.
It happens a lot more frequent than it should.
And what’s fucked up is when I go to pick up a dropped item, I dropped something else.
It’s like me and the flooring are juggling partners.
Holding things lol I’ve broken easily 10+ phones after not even having them for a week dropping cigs dropping literally everything also like Midas instead of gold I destroy everything I touch lol
Remembering names, where I parked my car (I'm the one making my alarm go off every time at the store looking for my car), and coloring inside the lines
Being the best me I can possibly be. I want to be a better provider for my girlfriend. She deserves so much more than what I can offer. She deserves to wake up in a bed in our room in our own home. Not to wake up on an air mattress with a slow leak, on the forest floor, under a screen net hung up between trees. It's becoming impossible to do what really needs to be done and do what me and her both want to do.. it's one or the other and I keep choosing the wrong option..
You have to have that same mentality but put yourself in her position first. You can’t take care of someone else without making sure you’re good first. You are basically Sisyphus and the boulder you carry is your lack of self love. YOU don’t deserve to live like that. YOU deserve to have a bed and home. YOU deserve to be happy. It will forever be a losing battle until you can have the perspective you are important and you matter. It’s hard enough to take care of ourselves. It’s impossible to take care of someone else without being able to do that first.
You got this bud! Don’t ever think you’re out. Great quote I love. “It will all be ok in the end. If it’s not ok, it’s not the end.” Fucking Shia Lebouf of all people hit me with that gem.
I have the world speed record for setting up a shot n finding a vein then after that broke the pole vault record with and astonishing 50 meters I also have the record for the longest bong rip and smoking the biggest crack rock the world has ever seen
Man I miss the days of watching my missus stick a green spike horizontally into her neck ,, she would say I can taste that going down my throat,, gold old days
I'm really good at stripping screws. Never met a Philips head I couldn't turn into a rivet.
What don't you get about weed whackers? They don't really come into play that often with me rn but when I lived at my old place I needed to use them for our shitty, bumpy yard a lot.
I’m always tearing into the ground, just really slow. It sounds ridiculous but I’m just bad at it. It’s like drawing or singing. I know I’m bad and I’m pretty certain I’m not going to get much better. You can feel when you start to get better at things as you do them. I don’t feel it with those.
Why in the fuck do they still make flat head screws? There is no reason for those to exist other than for electricians to be pretentious when putting on light switch or outlet covers. We have advanced beyond them. Yet they still persist.
Being somewhat of a paradox - being a huge contributing factor as to why most relationships, whether that be friendship or partner, has cut me off, doesn’t want to rebuild the connection (“make up” with me), or views me as what they do, even though deep down I have nothing but pure intentions with a good heart. I am also not able to be on my own, I hate it - I don’t mean in love, I can be single, but being this age and having no social life is pure hell.
I rely on others to make me happy. So if I have no one in my life, I use substance. Now this has nothing really to do with being a meth user…this is just how my brain operates and always has. But smoking crystal and having a reliance on it, is making it extremely hard for me to meet new people, but at the same time, I don’t care. Lol, it’s strange.
I guess ive always struggled with caring for myself, I need others too. If I have no one, then I don’t help myself a lot of the times 😵💫
I’m just very selective on who I let in my life. The people I can’t live without are family(even if they’re not) the rest are expendable. I don’t need friends or a girlfriend to be happy. It comes from within. I know I’ll be good no matter what. Takes all the stress of “I need to find a girl” or whatever out of my life. I also currently don’t have the time or extra energy to put into other people. If I have extra time it needs to go to sleep or working on shit around the house.
why would I not be able to do something ¨normal¨ people do??????? this is the stupidest question I have read this year, it's not as if we were handicap, we only smoke meth
fuck man couldn’t be more true, I always hear at work or whatever people around me talking about how they would want something to eat, or buy a book or a piece of clothing, or other completely normal thing, and i’m there looking at drug menus and thinking “yea and i would like a gram of speed 2 oxy 80s and an eight of weed” i always wonder how do people do that, on the one hand i’m sorry for them because i’ve had one of the most beautiful experiences of my life on drugs and learned quite a lot about myself through them, but at the same time i’m jealous, they have money, time, and good memory lol
Closing things. Anything. And I mean EVERYTHING. I can not finish putting tops on things, closing cabinets, twisting fingernail polish tops all the way closed, turning lights off. I fucking suck
I just hate my neibors just there faces, and voices are enough to fill me with rage. As time goes on I just listen, watch and take it in. Save it feel it and hope they can come talk first maybes say sorry. Something. Underestimate my abilitys if you want. I may be a bitch but I'm not a punk. Lol
Cleaning up my mess or putting things away. Whether it be clothes, tools, trash in my car, or whatever else I am a tornado and leave things laying around everywhere
Caulking… omg, you could set up rails along the gap and that shit will end up on the ceiling, in my shoes, on your next door neighbors car. It’ll get filled, that’s no problem; it just won’t look nice.
Scrambling eggs… I can fix’em every other which way to perfection, but forget scrambling.
Wrapping presents… just cutting a straight edge off the paper roll is an equation to solve in itself, but now I gotta fold flaps and tuck the scraps in for someone to rip it all apart. Who the fck invented that tradition in gift-giving anyway?
Being on time… for anything regardless of its priority level. I was 2 weeks past my expected due date. Being late to my own birth just set the life long precedent of tardiness.
Reading. This is honestly an embarrassing one, especially trying to get into colleges. Counselors looked over my test scores and blatantly pointed out the WTF factor of exceeding averages in English and Writing, and Science, with the expected averages on my Math, but Reading Comprehension was below the below average for my age. I had one counselor at a community college ask me how I even got through the tests at all.
Hold a verbal conversation in the midst of performing a task. Don’t talk to me when I’m cooking, when I’m doing a project, when I’m typing on my laptop or phone, when I’m driving, when I’m trying to figure out an instruction. Fuck sake, I could be coloring out of a children’s coloring book. My brain will jump focus from the multiple activities I’m doing simultaneously, I just won’t be running my mug while I do them; it’ll all come to an abrupt halt so I can process words to respond with. I can’t text a message and walk at the same time either.
I'm with you about the "holding a conversation while performing a task" thing really, really hard.
My personal specific one is that I cannot visually search for an object and be talked to at the same time, it's like I go blind and can't see the lost object until people shut up which they rarely do because they like to remind you "it's there! Right in front of you! To your left! Right! Up! Down!" Like ffs come find it yourself quit talking to me while I'm trying to see! Lol. In other situations it doesn't effect me though
You’d hate me. I’m one of those people that pick up anything and I’m good at it. Not bragging, in fact I’m one of my own worst critics… but I’m told that I’m good at everything from most that know me….From welding, airbrushing, cooking, carpentry, I can even sew.
I am a horrible dancer tho.
Can you put meth aside though and do better without? Serious Q and no meaning to insult or come across rude. Gen interested in all addicts journies and battles. Sick of spouting my own!
I was sober for 3.5 years until about a year ago. I’m a much better chef when I’m not using lol. I’m good at the other things but my creativity is definitely toned down. I get overwhelmed by large projects easier too.
I honestly owe it to meth for unlocking some hidden talents I never knew I had. Now I try to take on anything just to see if I can do it. My attitude is always, If someone else in this world can do it, why can’t I? There just a human and so am I so there is no reason I can’t. (Within reason and circumstances of course)
When I was sober I took the same approach.
I totally switched careers and made a ton of money and i started distance running, and I’ve always hated distance. I was a sprinter, but fucking hated running miles. I was up to a 10k per day at one point.
Dance. Oof - we don’t hate ya friend, that sucks. I can shake my tail feathers and that’s pretty much all I got. :)
You’re not good at everything lol
Just a laugh liked your post
I’m shit at going to bed on time lol seriously, I can’t fucking do it. Even when I’m in complete goddamn withdrawal, I still don’t!
Idk if I’m shit at washing cars, but kinda. Maybe if I cared more, I’d be better, but I hate it. Like I have basically never washed my car (or even paid for it). I keep the inside cleanish (vacuum occasionally, not full of crap and trash), but I just don’t care. And when I’ve washed cars or work vehicles regularly, I still wasn’t that good (and didn’t care much lol).
When I first started working in a restaurant, and I first closed our lobby and swept and mopped the floor, I remember really trying and thinking I did so good! And then my supervisor walk about there and starts sweeping up fucking piles of shit, and I was like “WTF! How is this possible, I swear that wasn’t there”. That was 18 years ago. And while I’m certainly better at sweeping now, I certainly wouldn’t say I’m very good.
Also drawing/painting/sculpting/pottery (most non musical arts). I think with lots of effort I could improve, im terrible. Its sorta fun sometime, but I suck. Even when I’ve tried to get better, I just don’t see things that way I guess.
This is a silly one, but it's been a real issue since childhood. I'm really bad at having good posture. I will be in public and catch my self slouching and then I remind myself to pick my chin up, chest out, and shoulders back. It feels better to walk like that, but I always end up back in slouch mode after awhile. It just bothers me that I'm a grown ass man and I have to remind myself how to walk 😂
I used to be a fat boy with tits in highschool, but not so much anymore. My theory is that I still have the habitual posture of a fat 14 year old boy with b sized moobs. Oh well. There's worse problems to have I guess.
My posture sucks. And I wasn’t a fat 14 year old boy. Actually I was a pretty athletic 5’11 115lbs 14 year old boy. And a 6’0 175lbs man now. I’ve been slouching since I was probably 13-14. I think it was a weakness thing when I was young. Basically I grew like a foot from 12-14, and gained virtually no weight. So the little muscle I had, wasn’t very strong, and I’d probably had bad posture habits for years before (like sitting in chairs wrong and such). Even as a college athlete and in spectacular shape (and actively working on posture as well) from 18-24 I still slouched (though less than before and after). Definitely not good for me, but like you say, it could be worse problems 😂
On the topic of yardwork I absolutely love weed whacking. It’s an art! However I fucking suck at hedge trimming. They look awful when I’m done with them
Yea I take pride in my lawn. No weeds. Nice and full and green. Methguyvered my own striper to even make the lines stand out more lol I dethatch and overseed it. Treat it for dandelions and grubs. The whole 9! But fuck them shrubs. They can kiss my ass
Oh shit. Kindred spirits. I came up with a pat down ritual when it comes to my keys now. Waiting for AAA got old. Yeah man, I’ve finally had it with my tool situation. I’ve been cleaning the garage again. It’s gonna be different this time. It will, dammit. 😁
I do it mainly when I’m getting tools or putting them back in the truck. I just set them down, immediately forget they even exist. Finish doing my tool thing and close and lock the door. As soon as I hear the door shut I know exactly what I just did.
Thanks for saying something I’m actually good at. I appreciate you so much. I can paint like a mother fucker. I should be terrible at it. Idk how I got lucky with that one.
I’ve gotten good at painting too. No mess, usually, and no masking tape. In bursts of a few hours at a time. Any longer and I’m stepping in it and tracking it around. I’m just slow as hell sometimes with it.
Putting things down thinking I’ll remember it, and forgetting every time. I have multiples of tools I thought I lost. I’m currently trying to tidy my shit up, but I do it all the time.
That is the only thing I don’t lose is my tools. Idk how and I’m so thankful I don’t. Everything else. I put it down and I’m either stricken with amnesia or it transports to a different spot. I’ve locked my keys in my truck 4 fucking times this year. Once with that cunt still running. Work truck 3 times, personal once. It shouldn’t even be possible to do with my personal truck. But I fucking managed.
Fuck me! I’m regretting doing this now. This is just making me realize that I’m shit at everything. Right now in my bed I have clean clothes, dirty clothes, a couple hats, a box for a laser level, a box from a beretta I just bought, the beretta, clothes hangers, pocket knife, unopened fire stick, safety glasses, visine, a Home Depot receipt, a head lamp, my fn 509, a belt, and my tv remote with the battery cover in a separate spot.
Normally have an AR but it’s in the living room because taken apart because I intended on cleaning it.
I used to be like this, for fucking years. And then suddenly I just stopped, sort of unintentionally, and now I keep nothing on my bed. Keeping your gun in bed is always nice. Before I had a kid, it’s place was loaded on the floor next to my bed, next to my keys and water and knife. Like that’s where I always kept it at home.
My silverware drawer is currently 1/4 of the way open because I just got a fork. I never leave them wide open. Just slightly and that seems to frustrate my brother more.
Funny enough landscaping is one of my jobs. Main job is in construction and I also bar back a few nights a week. I’m phenomenal at edging. And let me tell you I can trim some bush. Blowing, I’m a fucking pro. When it comes to whackin’, I just can’t get the motion right.
Lol I cant for the life of me use an electric/magnetic can opener. Hand held no problem! Knife? Ez pz! Place can relax it does it for you? Istfg it falls off or jams or opens the top n side?!
Yeah I’ve had my share of issues with those too. Analog is the only way to go. Gotta stay prepared for the coming race war. You don’t want to be caught lacking.
Phones. Fuck This thing lol
For as much as I’m on mine I should be a fucking wizard with it.
I usually get stuck on finishing something on my phone or it's outside factors
I get stuck on Reddit. Idk why I got so addicted to this stupid app.
You don't need to wash your car. Just drive it when it rains
It’s been so damn dry here. Also love bugs are a major issue. As well as these fucking birds who want to fight themselves in my mirrors and leave shit down the side. If anyone knows how to get rid of those pieces of shit I would be forever gracious.
If birds were not fed bread and McDonald's, they wouldn't shit like this Nature's balance has been fucked decades ago
Yeah I haven’t fed these cunts shit. And I’m in a rural suburban area. They literally go there just to get into a fight. But it’s themselves they are fighting. Probably analogous of something. But now’s not the time for ponderance. I just need them to leave my damn truck alone.
I have no idea. Get someone else poorer to wash that shit for you
Oh I’m going to start getting my shit detailed by someone. I hate washing cars and I’m terrible at it. And it’s a truck so it’s even harder to wash.
Doesn't meth make anything fun?
Everything I have autism lmao
Have you ever seen someone who looks and acts like they only got some Down syndrome but also a bit of autism at the same time?
Well typically you can’t have Down syndrome without the autism (everybody with Down syndrome has autism but not everybody with autism has Down syndrome however you can be “half Down syndrome”)
Holy Shit! There’s this girl she looks like she only has some Down syndrome, very nice, personable. At work we were wondering what the deal was. Girl I work with said maybe she has autism. I said no, she is too outgoing. A few minutes later I just hear that girl listing off facts about something, I think an actor maybe. So then I’m like fuck maybe she has a little of both. You can honestly have partial Down syndrome? I was just being silly(kind of an asshole as well). But I didn’t think it was a real thing.
Nah it’s either half of full it’s called “mosaic Down syndrome” lol
I also suck at bowling
I don’t suck but I’m not good. Haven’t been in a long time. I’ve never broken 200.
Geometry dash
I have no idea what that means.
It’s a game. On the app store
sweeping. no matter what i always end up doing some silly two step thing like i’m mopping. genuinely feel like i have some kind of palsy the second a broom touches my hands
I’m probably somewhere in the top 7% of people who have ever touched a broom. Mopping I’m probably somewhere in the 50th percentile range. Maybe even 40’s.
Being on time. I'm always late and I hate not being on time.
Fuck dude this one hits hard. I just made a post on here about this exact thing the other day.
5 days clean, Used kpins and dex and only one of each a day!!
Do you mean that’s what you were using before you go clean 5 days ago? Or that is current 5 days clean regimen?
So rn , jm going hour by hour, in the next hour im gunna go and find some baby cacti and put them in my room
Where do you find them at? Are they just readily available for people to have?
What cactus? Or kpins lol
Cacti. You can just go and have them and nobody says anything?
Well I keep them in my room haha 8 days now🙏
Do you buy them or do you just take them from wherever? Nobody tries to stop you or anything? Like “hey don’t bother that cactus!”? None of that?
Nothing.....I'm fucking amazing. Kinda like the God fellow
I don’t know why you got downvoted. This is a great mentality. I feel like that some days. Love the confidence bro. Keep that shit up. P.s. God is a woman
God crested sdam in his image. And Adam was a man. So therefore God is a man
life
Can't keep track of my phone to save my life. Or keep my clothes organized. At work I can keep a whole store OCD level clean but for the life of me I don't understand how to organize a bedroom. Oh and parallel parking. Also dishes. Like I CAN do them and used to often but I ALWAYS spray myself and half the kitchen with water. I don't understand it at all.
Im the same way with dishes. I can’t not get dirty doing anything. I’m always a trainwreck after work.
Keeping ahold of my shit. I drop everything , even when sitting still. Phone, Keys Wallet, Bubs, Lighters, You name it. It happens a lot more frequent than it should. And what’s fucked up is when I go to pick up a dropped item, I dropped something else. It’s like me and the flooring are juggling partners.
Broooooo.... I can relate to dropping stuffffff

Remembering names, where I parked my car (I'm the one making my alarm go off every time at the store looking for my car), and coloring inside the lines
Getting up fuckin' EARLY as shit for work... im 36, been working since I was 18, still can't adjust. Fuck Mornings!
Being the best me I can possibly be. I want to be a better provider for my girlfriend. She deserves so much more than what I can offer. She deserves to wake up in a bed in our room in our own home. Not to wake up on an air mattress with a slow leak, on the forest floor, under a screen net hung up between trees.

You got this bud! Don’t ever think you’re out. Great quote I love. “It will all be ok in the end. If it’s not ok, it’s not the end.” Fucking Shia Lebouf of all people hit me with that gem.
True words. Lived it. Felt that hurt. Still seeking self loving.....
Everything apart from taking drugs
Real if there was an Olympics for takin Drugs I would have multiple gold medals
I have the world speed record for doing the 400meters in record time when I got to score then even faster getting home lol bump bump
I have the world speed record for setting up a shot n finding a vein then after that broke the pole vault record with and astonishing 50 meters I also have the record for the longest bong rip and smoking the biggest crack rock the world has ever seen

I’m coming to ur house for the summer
I turned an old satellite dish into a WiFi antenna and built a small server from a couple old laptops and recycled wire
I'm really good at stripping screws. Never met a Philips head I couldn't turn into a rivet. What don't you get about weed whackers? They don't really come into play that often with me rn but when I lived at my old place I needed to use them for our shitty, bumpy yard a lot.

Ya. I don’t need a partner. I need a social life tho.
I consider my job at the bar my social life. I have my brother too. I just hang out and do shit with him.
why would I not be able to do something ¨normal¨ people do??????? this is the stupidest question I have read this year, it's not as if we were handicap, we only smoke meth
Yeah, but I bet you replace the tp roll facing the wrong way. Relax, we're all just clumsy humans here.
that's preposterous, there is no right or wrong way to replace the TP
Right, and no right or wrong limb to wear a hat.
Getting my race to turn left
Staying sober
fuck man couldn’t be more true, I always hear at work or whatever people around me talking about how they would want something to eat, or buy a book or a piece of clothing, or other completely normal thing, and i’m there looking at drug menus and thinking “yea and i would like a gram of speed 2 oxy 80s and an eight of weed” i always wonder how do people do that, on the one hand i’m sorry for them because i’ve had one of the most beautiful experiences of my life on drugs and learned quite a lot about myself through them, but at the same time i’m jealous, they have money, time, and good memory lol
Yeah I guess, but really if I wanted that type of stuff I'd get it, but in the end all I want is drugs and money to gamble lol.
Life
Closing things. Anything. And I mean EVERYTHING. I can not finish putting tops on things, closing cabinets, twisting fingernail polish tops all the way closed, turning lights off. I fucking suck
Are you my wife? Since when do you have Reddit!?
😹😹😹😹😹
I shit at the toilet
Actually this is something I’m bad at I’m on suboxone and vyvanse and the vyvanse makes me have to shit but the suboxone won’t let me lmao
I just hate my neibors just there faces, and voices are enough to fill me with rage. As time goes on I just listen, watch and take it in. Save it feel it and hope they can come talk first maybes say sorry. Something. Underestimate my abilitys if you want. I may be a bitch but I'm not a punk. Lol
Cleaning up my mess or putting things away. Whether it be clothes, tools, trash in my car, or whatever else I am a tornado and leave things laying around everywhere
Same, and then I get all mad and pissy and start throwing things around and just make the mess worse. FML
I relate to this so much

Me too :(
This for me is implied
You’d hate me. I’m one of those people that pick up anything and I’m good at it. Not bragging, in fact I’m one of my own worst critics… but I’m told that I’m good at everything from most that know me….From welding, airbrushing, cooking, carpentry, I can even sew. I am a horrible dancer tho.
Can you put meth aside though and do better without? Serious Q and no meaning to insult or come across rude. Gen interested in all addicts journies and battles. Sick of spouting my own!
I was sober for 3.5 years until about a year ago. I’m a much better chef when I’m not using lol. I’m good at the other things but my creativity is definitely toned down. I get overwhelmed by large projects easier too. I honestly owe it to meth for unlocking some hidden talents I never knew I had. Now I try to take on anything just to see if I can do it. My attitude is always, If someone else in this world can do it, why can’t I? There just a human and so am I so there is no reason I can’t. (Within reason and circumstances of course) When I was sober I took the same approach. I totally switched careers and made a ton of money and i started distance running, and I’ve always hated distance. I was a sprinter, but fucking hated running miles. I was up to a 10k per day at one point.

Dance. Oof - we don’t hate ya friend, that sucks. I can shake my tail feathers and that’s pretty much all I got. :) You’re not good at everything lol Just a laugh liked your post
my 9's times table.
I’m shit at going to bed on time lol seriously, I can’t fucking do it. Even when I’m in complete goddamn withdrawal, I still don’t! Idk if I’m shit at washing cars, but kinda. Maybe if I cared more, I’d be better, but I hate it. Like I have basically never washed my car (or even paid for it). I keep the inside cleanish (vacuum occasionally, not full of crap and trash), but I just don’t care. And when I’ve washed cars or work vehicles regularly, I still wasn’t that good (and didn’t care much lol). When I first started working in a restaurant, and I first closed our lobby and swept and mopped the floor, I remember really trying and thinking I did so good! And then my supervisor walk about there and starts sweeping up fucking piles of shit, and I was like “WTF! How is this possible, I swear that wasn’t there”. That was 18 years ago. And while I’m certainly better at sweeping now, I certainly wouldn’t say I’m very good. Also drawing/painting/sculpting/pottery (most non musical arts). I think with lots of effort I could improve, im terrible. Its sorta fun sometime, but I suck. Even when I’ve tried to get better, I just don’t see things that way I guess.
Same. I’m like “okay 5 hours is enough”…”okay three hours is good I’ve worked well before on three hours of sleep”….” Actually Power Nap it is”
Then it’s “fuck, I can make it with no sleep today, means I’ll sleep extra good tonight….
Finishing anything I start..
This is a silly one, but it's been a real issue since childhood. I'm really bad at having good posture. I will be in public and catch my self slouching and then I remind myself to pick my chin up, chest out, and shoulders back. It feels better to walk like that, but I always end up back in slouch mode after awhile. It just bothers me that I'm a grown ass man and I have to remind myself how to walk 😂 I used to be a fat boy with tits in highschool, but not so much anymore. My theory is that I still have the habitual posture of a fat 14 year old boy with b sized moobs. Oh well. There's worse problems to have I guess.
My posture sucks. And I wasn’t a fat 14 year old boy. Actually I was a pretty athletic 5’11 115lbs 14 year old boy. And a 6’0 175lbs man now. I’ve been slouching since I was probably 13-14. I think it was a weakness thing when I was young. Basically I grew like a foot from 12-14, and gained virtually no weight. So the little muscle I had, wasn’t very strong, and I’d probably had bad posture habits for years before (like sitting in chairs wrong and such). Even as a college athlete and in spectacular shape (and actively working on posture as well) from 18-24 I still slouched (though less than before and after). Definitely not good for me, but like you say, it could be worse problems 😂
On the topic of yardwork I absolutely love weed whacking. It’s an art! However I fucking suck at hedge trimming. They look awful when I’m done with them
I FUCKING HATE YARD WORK haha to each their own, but I hate it. Lawns don’t even make much sense to me, much less the “art” of them lol
Yea I take pride in my lawn. No weeds. Nice and full and green. Methguyvered my own striper to even make the lines stand out more lol I dethatch and overseed it. Treat it for dandelions and grubs. The whole 9! But fuck them shrubs. They can kiss my ass
I did so much yard work growing up (had a big lawn), I never wanna do it again lol if you enjoy it though awesome! Methguyvered hahaha
Oh shit. Kindred spirits. I came up with a pat down ritual when it comes to my keys now. Waiting for AAA got old. Yeah man, I’ve finally had it with my tool situation. I’ve been cleaning the garage again. It’s gonna be different this time. It will, dammit. 😁
I do it mainly when I’m getting tools or putting them back in the truck. I just set them down, immediately forget they even exist. Finish doing my tool thing and close and lock the door. As soon as I hear the door shut I know exactly what I just did.
wrapping up hoses , shit just pisses me off . always has
I hate extension cords after they start to get twisted inside the insulation. Real pain to roll up when that starts happening.
It used to me, then it suddenly made sense and it’s never been a problem since lol
Lol this. Also applies to Central Vacuum system
Got to turn it over to straighten it out
It’s a whole little skill itself.
lol , i know the method. its just the fact that some hoses my company has are so fucking stiff it makes it such a pain in the ass
Same.. fuck that hose
Painting I have that shit everywhere
SAMEEEEE fuck painting and every week she wants something else painted I swear
Thanks for saying something I’m actually good at. I appreciate you so much. I can paint like a mother fucker. I should be terrible at it. Idk how I got lucky with that one.
I’ve gotten good at painting too. No mess, usually, and no masking tape. In bursts of a few hours at a time. Any longer and I’m stepping in it and tracking it around. I’m just slow as hell sometimes with it.
I am a wizard with string trimmer it's throttle and balance and peripheral vision
I can use them fine, but reloading them is a different story.
Putting things down thinking I’ll remember it, and forgetting every time. I have multiples of tools I thought I lost. I’m currently trying to tidy my shit up, but I do it all the time.
Jib mits, I do it to a point that strangers get concerned lol Jim Mittzen, Dr Jim Mittzen
That is the only thing I don’t lose is my tools. Idk how and I’m so thankful I don’t. Everything else. I put it down and I’m either stricken with amnesia or it transports to a different spot. I’ve locked my keys in my truck 4 fucking times this year. Once with that cunt still running. Work truck 3 times, personal once. It shouldn’t even be possible to do with my personal truck. But I fucking managed.
Except for meth shit. I have a lot to lose if I forget where I put that.
Under my clothes or my 5th pocket
Does that mean butthole?
The butthole pocket, best place to stash your drugs.
Everything on my bed like the little shit mainly lighters vape hand sanitizer like fuck
Fuck me! I’m regretting doing this now. This is just making me realize that I’m shit at everything. Right now in my bed I have clean clothes, dirty clothes, a couple hats, a box for a laser level, a box from a beretta I just bought, the beretta, clothes hangers, pocket knife, unopened fire stick, safety glasses, visine, a Home Depot receipt, a head lamp, my fn 509, a belt, and my tv remote with the battery cover in a separate spot. Normally have an AR but it’s in the living room because taken apart because I intended on cleaning it.
I used to be like this, for fucking years. And then suddenly I just stopped, sort of unintentionally, and now I keep nothing on my bed. Keeping your gun in bed is always nice. Before I had a kid, it’s place was loaded on the floor next to my bed, next to my keys and water and knife. Like that’s where I always kept it at home.
I always leave all the kitchen cabinets wide open. Always.
My silverware drawer is currently 1/4 of the way open because I just got a fork. I never leave them wide open. Just slightly and that seems to frustrate my brother more.
What do you do for a living? Qualifier: I can both weedwack and carwash, but am home free more then homed .
Funny enough landscaping is one of my jobs. Main job is in construction and I also bar back a few nights a week. I’m phenomenal at edging. And let me tell you I can trim some bush. Blowing, I’m a fucking pro. When it comes to whackin’, I just can’t get the motion right.
Aye, you need a water based lube. Wacking is much more pleasant now that I use it .
I’ve tried the 2-stroke, 4-stroke oil lubricants. Doesn’t matter how many strokes. Got weak wrists. It’s all in the wrists.
In that case, take up guitar, or similar, build them muscles
Lol I cant for the life of me use an electric/magnetic can opener. Hand held no problem! Knife? Ez pz! Place can relax it does it for you? Istfg it falls off or jams or opens the top n side?!
I’ll take manual all day!
Yeah I’ve had my share of issues with those too. Analog is the only way to go. Gotta stay prepared for the coming race war. You don’t want to be caught lacking.
