#16 The squiggly crocheted blanket, I have two that my great grandma made when I was born. Both are hideous 70’s colors and I love them.

Some of these are more work than just doing the simpler thing. You can tell by the staged photos they took for social media.

#18 My grandma or mom told me this is what factory workers did years ago.

#25 he's doing it wrong. Drag it. Cuz here's the thing: if you're doing this in the first place you don't give shit if your car gets dinged or scratched. Which it doesn't. My family has been doing this for over 20 years on our 1/4 mile driveway and the damage to any of our vehicles is ABSOLUTELY NEGLIGIBLE. Also it's so much fun to accelerate at the end and "launch" the empties towards the spot they sit. SO MUCH FUN!

I'd be pissed that anyone in my house put their feet on kitchen counters.

#20 Is a promising contender. She’s been crushing it at the college level.
downwiththesystem
A bold move to cook while the floor is lava, but it has a lot more potential longevity than just jumping on the couch like a lunatic. You love to see a pro in their element.

#4 I remember when this first got posted. She’s the grandmother and disabled. Had trouble walking so it was an easier way to help take care of her grandkids

#20 In college, my roommate and I made a pulley system from our beds to the light switch by the door that ran to either bed. It was a loop of string that you could pull one side down to turn on the lights and the other side down to turn them off. A later roommate just wired a "Clapper" into the light switch. (yes, we were all in the engineering dorm... how did you know?)

lol. at uni we developed the concept of 'communal energy' which was basically short-hand for exercising as little physical effort as could be managed to achieve immediate requirements in the art of smoking lots of hashish and playing video games...

#1 that must be so difficult to drink through. A longer straw isn't just longer, it increases the pressure required, I would be surprised if this even worked and didn't collapse the straws.

#5 this is just being an asshole. Your laziness should only directly impact you, if it directly impacts anyone else, you're just an asshole.

#35 there's someone in my town that takes their dog to one of the gravel roads out in the country and lets it out and then drives about 2 miles down the road with the dog running along side them in the ditch... it only takes them about 10 minutes to walk their dog every day
JainaSolo
I knew a lady who ran over two of her dogs (two separate incidences) doing this and she continued with her other dogs. She was not a smart person.
blondewithabrain
I used to do this when I loved in the country. My dog would literally refuse to get in the car so she could run on the backroads until she got tired.....Sadly there's no safe areas to do it where I live now.
piratesecretservice
that's illegal in italy. maximum bicycle, not even scooter. dogs get hurt at paws, and the speed is too much, with no stops

#12 - Wait - according to "People of Walmart" it's not necessary to dress up or, in some cases, dress at all? Now I'm not only old but also confused. Send help.
tidepool
In places like Dallas, TX back into the early 90s, it was common to “dress up” to go to the mall or a grocery store. You wouldn’t be caught dead in dirty clothes or pajamas, and most wouldn’t wear blue jeans, either, except the ones dressed “cowboy” style, but they wore them with fancy, crisp shirts and the jeans were pressed and their boots were spotless so it was different. I don’t know if this still is common practice there, I moved away in 98, but this would make sense if the paper is old.

#22 You can safely eat those...
vowofloudness
This is technically true in the same way that you can safely eat most stickers. The adhesives and ink are required by the FDA to be safe for use with food, but the stickers are made of ordinary paper or (increasingly) plastic. It will probably pass harmlessly through your digestive system, but it is a stretch to say you can safely eat them. Here's Snopes with the fact check: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fruit-stickers-edible
Wynja
You can safely touch the floor or get up from the couch as well, it's not like any of these were done for safety purposes
Mreman71
Yep. Fully eatable. https://www.bonappetit.com/story/fruit-stickers-edible
vowofloudness
That article specifically says that "[e]ven though PLU stickers are made with food-safe materials, that doesn't mean you should eat them." and "ingesting plastic of any kind is not advised".
noReallyIamPrincessBob
Some are plastic, not paper.
ConstantBitRate
Still safe. I wouldn't go eating them like snacks, but if you forgot to take the label off and ate it , it won't hurt you.
pareidoliaperson
Huh? People complain about micro plastic and that looks like it's full of it.
TheMostKink
It's like dosing instead of microdosing.
FirePrinceZuzu
No, that's macroplastic.

#8 I can't be bothered either. Most of the clocks change automatically, the one or two on the walls can wait half a year until they're correct again.

#19 Soda is bagged like this in the Philippines
CompletelyUniqueUsername
And central American countries too. Everywhere I went in Nicaragua, empty bags with straws were littered around. That was a while ago though so hopefully it's better now.
vowofloudness
Technically soda is bagged anytime it's in a can. The plastic coating is necessary to keep the acidic liquid from reacting with the aluminum.
FirePrinceZuzu
Why?!
Magpiebones
Cheap and fuck nature.

People used to ask me why I had a 9 iron next to the sofa. I told them the remote to my VCR was broken.

If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid.
daguq
Using a $2,000 laptop to keep the rain off your head works - it's also stupid.

What if the $2000 laptop is broke and doesn't laptop anymore?

If it looks stupid but it works, it's an OSHA violation.

Yep, everything else is good and dandy, but f that dude.

A lot of the other ones are almost genius, or at least not unusual, but that one is something else
moosemaimer
Cops here are allowed to stop you and make you clean off the snow right there.
ArthurPhillipDent
That feels like a bare minimum. Should be a fine and points on the license
Nizedk
Where I live it could cost you your car, a Hefty fine, and a 3 year drivers license suspension. Hefty fine ~ 3K usd equivalent.
Cinammontoastcrunch
I wish it was enforced, it's illegal where I live too, but the cops are just as lazy...
joebellson
I’d never do it now, but as a 17-18 year old kid almost late for work I most certainly did this a few times before I got better about accounting for the time it takes to scrape the windows.

Its all fun and games until you commit vehicular manslaughter

And so, so, soooo illegal. At least in Sweden. That said some people are stupid and still does it.
Cinammontoastcrunch
It's illegal where I live too, but the cops do it too so it isn't enforced
amp99
Also illegal in most places (I want to say all, but there's probably a lawless hellscape somewhere). Not only because the driver has restricted visibility, but also because chunks of snow/ice flying off the car at high speed are a genuine danger to other road users. I've seen a few videos where what appears to be a nice fluffy snow fragment comes off a car ahead and shatters the windscreen of the following vehicle.
MyPseudoIsAlduinSkyrimStoleItFromMe
Happened to me once recieved a huge piece of ice from the car in front of me unto my windshield. Fortunately, the whippers received the most of it, breaking immediately. I had to drive on the Highway 3-4km in shitty weather with only passenger side whipper functionning. Pulled into a Canadian Tire as soon as I could.
Cinammontoastcrunch
It almost happened to me once. I know it's illegal, but I've never seen it be enforced. Hell, the cops around here so it too....
Mercurybird
I had thought this was in a parking lot and was going to say, of course it’s a set up. But after reading your comment I went back and realize he’s actually on the road! Idiot. And yes, a huge danger to others! I’ve been behind this kind of douche canoe.
Cinammontoastcrunch
I went to school away from home, and driving home for March break I noticed the person in front of me didn't clear the snow and ice off their roof. It was warm too, so you know it was partly melted. I followed a couple extra car lengths and good thing I did, a huge chunk flew off their roof and would have hit me if I was following a normal difference. Not that people like this even consider that
Mercurybird
Goo call!!
Cinammontoastcrunch
Nothing makes me feel smarter than when my danger recognition is proven correct lol

#34 I think this one is pretty clever.
redpilljunkie
Yeah, this is the one that impressed me the most. That a group of people, maybe even strangers, agreed to honor a system they made up, for everyone's benefit

IIRC it’s a common practice in Hawaii. This is only going off of random internet bullshit I saw years ago, I’ve never been.

I kind of like it. You could use anything that way, not just footwear. As long as people understand the system and respect it, that seems fine.

I mean this is in some part of I think Asia sort of a tradition how they que. (I wanted to say Japan but then I got unsure).
iamlegendinjapan
It's not Japan.

Ah. Darn clever.
Aintlurkingnomo
I thought so too but I bet that floor is dirty and I'm sure a lot of toe fungus forms from that.
ryushi5
Nah, their feet are breathing all day. Not a great environment for growing fungus.
GabbyJayYay
When you wear slippers/go barefoot most of your life, you become immune to toe or foot funguses. I remember some freshman kids getting those in college dorm showers. Found out later they always wore covered shoes growing up
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Ex was a farm-boy, always in the dirt barefoot with no issues. Was in the Navy and forgot his shower-slippers one time on ship and got the worst case if athletes foot the doctor had seen. So thats not always accurate about immunity through exposure (at least in regards to fungus)
GabbyJayYay
Well you cant really compare college dorms to all the seamen accumulating on the ship for years, and their body fluids
