πŸ’¬ LET'S DISCUSS: What's one of your IDGAF habits?

Sara H's avatar

I need to tatoo this on my hand: 🧽 If it’s too hard to clean, I will not be buying it.

Nothing is worth it. I keep coming across these gorgeous lamps shaped like coral that are very sculptural, but all I can see is dust in the crevices that can’t come out. No thanks!

What’s another one of your IDGAF habits? I’m discovering we are not all that different. 🀣🀣🀣

IDGF about seasonal decor! I don’t want to have 10 different cushions for my couch! I only want my old ratty ones

OMG, that’s such a good one! I loooooove seeing it in other people’s homes but I hate having it in mine too. Mostly because I’m too lazy to switch it out all the time. So I’m happy to enjoy what others do because a lot of it is super cute. Just… same… I don’t want to have so much stuff! Really good one, Sara.

This was fun to read πŸ˜„ I too call my husband to deal with any insect situation, but I’m definitely not the compassionate type… I need to see the body as proof it’s gone forever.

Also completely agree on the no sound rule while I sleep. But i'm genuinely curious about the cameras in your house when you first moved in. That would have freaked me out!

The cameras did kind of freak me out because we had no idea if there was a live video feed streaming to a cloud we had no access to! Turns out the previous owner (husband) was a vet who died unexpectedly. He had a comprehensive security system installed with cameras everywhere, inside and outside.

We kept the one above our garage door and the Ring camera at our front door as deterrents but had an electrician rip out every else. The electrician confirmed they were dead cameras and couldn’t find any hidden ones.

We do plan to install a new camera system, not because of crime, but because I want video evidence in case someone does something stupid on our property so we don’t get sued. Florida man can be insane. 🀣 For now, our ADT security system works great!

This was fun to read, Sandra! And it found myself agreeing with most of them. πŸ˜€

🀣 Which one was your favorite? Do you have a quirky habit you won’t compromise on?

Allison Lau's avatar

I LOVE every one of these!

Sandra Serrano's avatar

πŸ˜… I’m so glad, Allison! Sometimes putting our crazy habits out there can backfire. Do you do any of these? If not, what’s your quirky habit?

I was sitting here, mind blank, unable to think of them earlier today, so thanks for nudging and allowing me to circle back, ha!

I do the grocery bags (one trip only), a version of pajamas only (no pants with zippers), hard to clean not buying it, and dinner for $200 LOL

Here's some of my other ones:

- If my phone has 50% or more battery, I do NOT plug it in. I do not want to degrade the battery faster than necessary. (My husband's phones always die faster than mine because he insists on his pretty much always being plugged in).

- Salad forks only. Except for 2+ layer cakes, that warrants a big fork.

- Thermostat must end in an even number or a 5. Ending a 3, 7, or 9? No way.

- Ceiling fan must always be on when I sleep.

- One of my feet or my butt must be covered when I'm sleeping. Otherwise, something bad's going to happen?

- Breastfeeding in public. I've breastfed in line at for passport control at the airport. My baby will eat when he needs to eat and if my boob bothers you, you can look the f away.

- No shoes in the house. Not like, "please remove your shoes". Like, step out of your shoes as you cross the threshold.

- If you insult or upset my cats, you're not getting invited back. Ever.

- If you tell me my baby is spoiled or that I need to cut the cord or that he's too old to breastfeed, I will correct you loudly and regularly with far more biology fun facts than you ever thought possible.

- If anyone brings up cruise ships sinking, I will rant about the Costa Concordia for ten minutes.

Okay I'm going to stop here, because I'm going down a weird rabbit hole in my brain and things are only going to get more specific from here 🀣

OMMMGGG, I love this so much!!! Maybe mombie brain unites us all! 🀣 I also do your ceiling fan, no shoes in house, and don’t insult my dogs. So, so curious about your salad fork rule …how did that come about???

Allison Lau's avatar

YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON TO EVER ASK ME!

I'm afraid I'll stab the back of my throat, up into my brain, and die while eating dinner.

But cakes that are tall taste best when I get to eat all the layers at once, especially if there's layers of filling and icing and whipped cream and different cake flavors, etc. So I'll risk death to enjoy the full flavor profile of a single bite of cake.

THIS. IS. HILARIOUS. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Just had to call me out for my notification clutter, huh? Also, I’m happy facilitating your karma beliefs and returns bugs safely and alive to the wild outdoors.

Sandra Serrano's avatar

Babe. Honestly. It’s a problem. I’m shocked every day at how productive you are in spite of your thousands of notifications. It’s actually a flex (but only for you! 😘). And thanks for keeping the bugs safe, especially after you were traumatized by that one flying roach that will forever live in the little box of horrors of my mind. I love you! ❀️
