Lame shit you get excited about as an adult.

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

So I was dropping off my tri-weekly covid test off at Walgreens the other day when I decided to have a look around. I happened to find a section where the had some cool looking and comfy feeling men's dress socks without a price. I brought a pair to a price checker, and found out they were 60 cents, down from $2.99. I figured "what the hell" and bought a pair. They were great.

I went back the next day to buy a bunch more pairs, and they had gone down to 19 cents! I was stoked and bought up all the remaining ones that didn't look gay. Then I realized how lame this would seem to 12 year old me and got a good laugh at myself.

I will occasionally get the same realization while doing regular adult shit, and wonder what makes you guys feel the same way.

Getting clothes for my birthday or Christmas.

I needed clean PJs; I was so happy to get them as a gift.

Socks for Christmas.

As a kid, it was the most boring gift. As an adult? YES!

Also, cool cleaning gadgets like vacuum cleaners get me way too excited now, lol.

A new Monster flavor being released. It's about half centered around the can artwork and half "is this going to be a shit flavor, a rerelease of an old flavor or something new and good?"

(Papillon was fucking great.)

Doing absolutely fucking nothing all day.

 

[obliviousbeard]

Trying out a new soap or hair product (btw, Imperial Leather smell nice). Opening a new bag of coffee beans, or trying out new type. Checking what's on sale this week at Lidl.

The RealAntennas Mod for Kerbal Space Program. No longer will my antennas have "range!" No, they will have dB gain instead! *Squee!*

...Well, you said lame.

That was Peter's dream in Office Space.

 

[DelicateMageflower]

Being able to sleep as long as I like.

It's just so great.

Finding excuses to use my power tools to do a job. Like, I could just use a dustpan to clean this up... but my shop vac is right over there.... hehe

 

[The Last Stand]

Coming home to a clean room or house after vacation. Especially since you cleaned it yourself.

On a similar note, the smell of Murphy's after cleaning the wood floors

Receiving things in the mail that were perfectly, tightly packed.

I can't stand when tiny objects get sent in predisposed ginormous boxes (especially from Amazon) taking up so much empty space. Things that could have easily fit in my small mailbox now have to be received in person. So when my package comes in and it's just PERFECTLY packed for size, it's pleasant.

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

Probably this a normal one, but i really appreciate clothes as gift. When i was a kid i really hate them.

 

[Niggernerd]

The weather since i walk to work.

Seeing birds out the window, especially when you've recently refilled a birdfeeder. It's the most grandmother thing but damnit seeing them happily munching and hopping puts a smile on my face.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Drinking tea and coffee without sugar. Young me would tell that it's disgusting.

Fuck that squirrel.

 

[Agarathium1066]

Fuck that squirrel.

Luckily the squirrels nearby aren't the same infiltration experts I've dealt with elsewhere. They are appeased by whatever the birds drop and just eat down there. Like the second-class yard animals they are.
