Having my windshield wipers on a slower intermittent setting than everyone else I see on the road when it's raining.

Never missed a day in school due to illness after 3rd grade

1. Never blocking anyone on @Twitter

I scored a 36 on the reading comprehension portion of the ACT the second time I took it. It was a huge outlier to my overall score.

I would like to hear more about the legendary shirt streak

Mine is similar to this, only I would add that I was very hungover and maybe still drunk.
-
One time I got a 100% on a test after I stayed out all night.

I'm good at predicting the exact minute I will pull in the driveway even when I'm like over an hour away still.

Being 51% fluent in Spanish.

It's all Katdaddy stuff and my glory days of baseball.

gah, i know i have tons of this kind of thing but i can't think of any :bang:

I have over 500 CDs but haven't bought one in probably 10 years (Amy winehouse back to black)

I'm like, "really? you need them on at full speed in this drizzle? smdh and lol"
-
I'm really good at folding laundry. I fold clothes for my wife even though she's probably going to put them on hangers or wad them up in these baskets she uses for everything.
I keep a very tidy recycle bin. I clean stuff before I toss it in. But I guess paying for recycling is pretty meaningless anyway.
I've got a kickass lawn - but that actually is pretty important.
I agree on the windshield wiper thing. I figure even my amazing car has a finite amount of wipes before something breaks so why waste them?
-
Lol @ lawn being important :lol:

Bullshitting my way through any kind of paper. 150/150 on one, and somehow got an 82% on another this last month of school that were both large year end projects.

I'm the same way.
In elementary school we had to take these national poetry exams and I placed 3rd in the country with one of my scores (TOTAL OUTLIER). Still, I was all like :billdance:

How good my lawn looks with bare minimum interference

Not driving a nice car. It's like, glad you feel good about yourselves suckers, but we're getting to the same place at the same pace regardless of whether you spend an extra $40-$50k on your ride.

Yeah. It's probably higher than 90% but I'm pretty proud of my modesty too

I think deadpool got a lot of people. The flag it tipped for me was the frequency and how early they began airing commercials for it.
-
The Blu-ray commercials are even worse than the trailer, no clue why they continue the hur hur hur marketing strategy
-
When I go to the store, I bring a cart or two inside. Then, I return my cart to the store unless the corral is right next to me.
Keeping my ear hairs plucked. You youngsters will appreciate this at some point as you grow older. I observe weird people all of the time who have a jungle growing out of their ears. PULL THOSE HAIRS!
My lawn is not weird/meaningless, so I won't mention that here.
When walking, I can imagine where I am walking to or you can point to spot on the trip and I can get to within a step or two of telling you how many steps it is going to take to get there. Seriously, I have estimated 247 steps before and been over by 1 step. (Just trying to point out this isn't like, "I can guess 8 steps and it was only 7" bullshit.)
I can and sometimes still do open a bottle of beer with my teeth.
-
Speaking of movies, I am really really good at listening to just a fragment of a score from pretty much any big movie and being able to name the composer.
-
Amazing at knowing about the colleges the people I exclusively interact with went to.

I would just twist off a twist off. I am sure I can open it with my teeth, but I wouldn't need to.
-
How many miles are on my vehicle. It's like a constantly reaffirming metric that I'm good at choosing reliable vehicles.
-
Always having an incredibly clean vehicle. Inside and out. Gets vacuumed at least once a week. Having a dog has made this much harde though.
-
I also like driving my olderish vehicle. Especially at the Catholic school where my kids go. Everyone is driving Range Rovers, Escalades, BMW's, Porsche, a couple of Teslas and Jags, and I drive up in my crap show with 125,000 miles.
-
I'm really good at judging people/relationships after only a few interactions.

Never saying "y'all" during any part of my time in Texas.

Wacky gets a pass on this one because it wasn't until I started eating the medium rare steaks that Gooch cooks that I really started liking steak. I used to eat them well done because that's how my dad cooked them when I was a kid....although a couple months ago he told me that that is how I ordered them when I was a kid. :cry:

So what I take from this is that you did cheat on a girl, but in your mind you two weren't in a relationship (although in her mind you probably were).

Pacifica is not a minivan. It was hybrid. A cross between a ford focus and a conversion van.

Station wagons can be cool. See the CTS-V wagon (RIP), Audi S-wagons, and select Volvos (the polestar variants).

If you google "minivan" then one of results in the cars section is a Chrysler Pacifica. It is a minivan. Google deemed it so.
-
'obber, the new Chrysler minivan coming out in a few months is going to be called the Pacifica so everyone will think your old wagon is a minivan anyways. Isn't toddlerdobber big enough to climb into a Wrangler Unlimited yet?

Also, Edmunds calls it a minivan

The method in which I commute to work

I'm very good at crosswalks. When I walk up to a crosswalk, no tentativeness by me. Walk right through it because those are the rules. No game of "are you gonna go or should I go" with oncoming cars because that's my crosswalk and if the car has a problem with it, that's too damn bad for him.
On the other hand, when I drive and I approach a cross walk and someone wants to play the "should I walk" game with me at a crosswalk, I yell and make motions with my hands for them to cross. "IT'S A CROSSWALK. HURRY UP AND WALK!"
smdh. Millenials today don't know how to go up and grab the brass rings at crosswalks.
-
Crosswalk rules are inefficient. The car should have the right of way unless it's already stopped
-
you know how at crosswalks in most cities, people know they can cross when there are no cars coming (even if you have the "Don't Cross" symbol)? well in Germany people never ever ever disobey the cross walk symbol. it is fascinating.
-
it's like a microscopic example of how they got so many people to do horrible nazi things. it's fascismating.
-

Maybe so, but they exist, and they're more inefficient when everyone is unsure what to do.

Midnight in Munich walking back to our apartment... Completely dead street... No cars... No people... Get to don't walk sign... Stop for a second... No cars... Start going... One lone voice yells at us from afar that "red means stop" or whatever.

If I'm going to cross the street and I see a car coming that will obviously get through the intersection before I do, then I pretend I'm not about to cross the street so the driver doesn't have that "are you going to go or should I go" moment.
-
I always make sure to give a courtesy wave or have somebody riding with me give one whenever another vehicle lets me in a line of traffic.

Urban life certainly has its drawbacks

New Pacificas are minivans. They quit making my style in 2007 or 2008. It's a classic.

My ability to own the 4 way stop and not need any motioning whatsoever. They see the Pacifica coming and they know that hell is coming with me and if there is any question, I am going first. No motioning necessary.
EDIT: Last weekend, I pulled up to one and two other cars were already there doing that stupid "you go," "no, you go" hand gesturing crap. I stopped and then went before both of them.

What? If I bought a new car, it would cost me $40,000. My car is worth about $4,000. It would appear that the new car would cost me $36,000. If I throw that money at TCUhf, he could turn $36,000 into $36,000,000 in about 6 months. The math works out in my favor.
Plus, I don't drive a beater. Its a 9 year old car with 125,000 miles. It does fine.
