Oh yeah? C’mere and I’ll show you what to do with it!
(…You string it and put it on the tree!)
Here’s one I can’t fathom: how often I used to see people leaving their car running (with the keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked) to run inside a convenience store or even the supermarket. With stuff in their car. Like groceries… Valuables… Even children strapped into car seats!
Or “warming up” an empty car in their driveway outside their house. Hmm. Free car for anyone who’s walking down the street!
I don’t see this any more because people just don’t do this in NYC. But when I lived in New Jersey and Maryland, it was practically every week.
I swear, if I wasn’t risking serious jail time (or finding out they have a rifle with them and are watching their car from a distance), I would hop in and just drive it around the corner to put a scare in some of these people!
It’s hard to get the roll on my toliet paper holder. It’s just not worth the trouble.
I have watched Mama’s Family reruns on occassion. The theme song reminds me of countless Saturday nights of my childhood. My favorite episodes are the ones with Carol Burnette, Rue McClanahan, and Betty White. The show jumped the shark after the first season when all the stars left.
Fresh Peeps are nasty. But stale Peeps have a crunchiness associated with them that makes them a delightful treat. So I’ll open up a pack of Peeps and let them age for a couple of days. The best kind are the yellow ones (never the pink!)
As mentioned above, it tastes good and I do it. Sardines, too. Higher in fat, sure, but that’s why it’s a sometimes food.
Doesn’t flush in public bathrooms.
At my school I cannot flush. There is no flush. It’s one of those automatic timer, flushes every 15-30 minutes or so deals. Does that count?
**Eats the popcorn in the Christmas tins. **
When I was younger, this was my favorite part of Christmas. Yes, it’s stale. That doesn’t mean it isn’t still a HUGE tub of popcorn. Using it as decoration is like making a gingerbread house and then not eating it. Which makes me go
**
Talk really loud on a cell phone on a quiet area.**
Like in my apartment?
Watch reruns of Mama’s Family.
I don’t. My grandmother does. She likes Mama.
Eat Peeps.
Disgustingly delicious, peeps are.

Lots of people around here do it. Not really any crime in an isolated town where everybody knows everybody else.
Or “warming up” an empty car in their driveway outside their house.
Same as before. My mom also used to do it all the time before she built her new garage. But my parents’ house is miles out in the country. A car thief would have to drive to the house to steal the car.
In the apartment I live in I don’t even have a roll to put toilet paper on. I just leave it on top of the basin or on the counter nearby.
This is iffy… I loathe any public restroom that hasn’t implemented auto-flush mechanisms and depending just how dirty the handle looks and if I only urinated or not, I may or may not touch it. Even if it doesn’t look dirty, those things are probably the filthiest things you could possibly touch.
Italian or Spanish tuna in olive oil is a different animal (heh) than the Charlie the Tuna kind. There is a special kind called ‘ventresca’ which is one piece from the tuna’s belly. Can cost 7-8 bucks a can or more. All gourmet and stuff.
But the regular (olive oil) kind is really good in a white bean salad, salad Nicoise, or just dumped atop a green salad. There is a recipe for spaghetti with tuna sauce that uses it.
