I don’t know why, but I hate dishwashers so I always wash and dry everything by hand. I’ve owned a dishwasher at 3 of my previous residences and never once used it.
I like using a bottle opener to open my beer. I rarely get the sort of beer that has twist-off caps, but if/when I do, I would still rather use an opener. Twist-offs somehow cheapen the experience.
When I have had a dish washer, I have used it for a drying rack when I wash dishes by hand.
I cultivate my own ancient grains.
I still write my nursing notes in my own invented shorthand on paper, and put them into the computer later. I’ve got a tablet with a keyboard that uses a cell phone tower to connect to the internet; I could do the charting right there in the patient’s home and submit it immediately like most of my coworkers do. But I prefer not to; I find that I have trouble not “hiding” behind the screen, and I don’t ever want to become that nurse. Scribbling a few notes on paper doesn’t take my attention away from the patient so much.
This means I’m often behind in my charting. But I’d rather be a sucky nurse at charting than a sucky nurse with patients.
You should brew some ancient ales with those grains!!
Manual transmission. Driving is so much more fun when you get to shift.
I agree, but not because of the cheapened experience. For me, the bottle opener is the easier way. I often resort to one even for supposed twist-offs. Those damn things never want to twist for me.
I too understand the pleasure of prying off the cap from a bottle of beer. However, I have discovered that the glass threads on some bottles are not thick enough for this and can break off. I think this can cause a hazard. I’ve since started drinking a beer that does not twist off.
I memorize things instead of putting them in some device.
I do math in my head (often faster than on a calculator)
Whoops, somehow I missed this one. Me too. I had to go out of my way to buy my manual-transmissioned car a few years ago, as it was one of the last of its kind available.
I’m sure Monty Burns will be along shortly to regale us with the pleasures of manually adjusting the spark timing on his Model T.
Dang near nothing, but then I don’t consider driving a manual transmission “doing it the hard way”. It’s the right way.
Truth be told, I do still do most of the maintenance and remodeling work around the house. It would be easier and quicker to hire someone but it’s difficult for me to spend the beaucoup extra dollars.
Marriage, apparently.

Totally agree.
And I also like to wash dishes by hand.
I break the necks of my beer bottles with a wrench. Only manly way to drink beer.
Yep, I’ve owned many cars and only one was an automatic. I hated it.
I’d rather wash dishes by hand. The time it takes to rinse them and load them into the dishwasher is about the same as what it takes me to wash them by hand.
Rather use hand tools instead of power tools. (Provided that I’m not building a house!!)
Manual transmission
bottle opener (even for twist offs)
math in my head
sanding something by hand instead of a power sander
I often use paper maps (or at least Google Maps printouts) rather than my GPS when driving. Any moron can reach their destination using GPS.
You use a wrench? What a wimp. I bite them off.
I shave my cheeks with a good old cut-throat razor (I sport a Van Dyke beard).
“Open” the bottle? Effeminate.
Toss the whole bottle into your mouth, crunch it up, swallow the beer, and spit out the shards. Or eat 'em for the extra flavor.
