Renting forever. Yeah, I’d like to own a house, sure. But on the other hand, I don’t have to remove snow from my place, I don’t have to pay a repair guy to fix stuff when it’s broken, don’t have to mow the lawn, or maintain the swimming pool. If I have problems with my neighbors, I can complain to management and they’ll handle things discreetly without singling me out or involving me.

I suppose it depends on where you live, and what you’re paying, but while it’s not entirely ideal, it’s also not awful.

Every action by the Satanic Temple?

Though they are kind of amusing trolls about it.

My boiled egg slicer. It seemed really frivolous when I bought it, and I probably only use it five or six times a year at best but man if it doesn’t cut down prep time for any salad with boiled egg in it, it also works with avocados!

If I could go out to this https://youtu.be/BjDaPOWdx6s?si=6dHpGWpFoc1ZKzvE that would be so awesome.

But most likely it’ll be this https://youtu.be/q9RAZxNdCk8?si=CxHNQawNEcqpy47T

@NaibofTabr your comment led me to give op an up vote without listening because I knew exactly what song it was from yours!

@yamapikariya I feel like there’s a distinction to be made between Americans _visiting _a city and the people that live there.

For instance, when I lived in the SF Bay Area, ques for services locals used were efficient and well-ordered unless jackass tourists were involved. IIRC (it’s been a while), everyone standing on the BART escalators would be on the left, leaving the right half of the escalator for people in a hurry to walk up or down the stairs. But mix in a few American tourists and it was just willy nilly people everywhere.

7:00 AM? All locals, everything is good. 1:00 PM? Good fucking luck.

Tourists also don’t seem to understand or CARE that the city they’re visiting has to run somehow, and they meander around on the sidewalks oblivious to everyone else like they’re in a theme park.

TL;DR - - Americans know how to queue, they just don’t do very well when they’re out of their element in unfamiliar places.
