Jerking off.
Fourth time this hour and I’m mostly just waving it around now.
SatansMaggotyCumFart back again with the best comments
Hearing. Hearing damage does not ever get better, it just accumulates.
Same with seeing. Used to be able to see without glasses, now every time I go to the optometrist I need stronger glasses.
Sleeping
It's way easier when you're tired
Going out in public. When you're young you really don't notice just how fucking stupid people are. It gets to the point you actively avoid being in groups of people due to the overwhelming amount of stupid. Shopping trips go from whenever you want to aiming for when the store opens or just before close so the hoards of fools are less likely to be around.
I fell in love with the city about a decade ago but now in my 30’s just walking the dog around the block pisses me off.
You really need to park in the middle of the street to drop someone off when there’s tons of available street parking at 2 PM on a Tuesday?
You’re mad at me because your dog barked at mine after you chased me down while I was actively trying to avoid you?
What’s up with that Honda that always sits in the middle of an obscure and dangerous intersection for like 10 minutes every day?
Some days I wish I lived in a cabin in the forest, damn.
Yeah similarly you also get worse at being responsible on nights out the more often you go out drinking
Signing my name. If you've ever had to sign on a mortgage, oh my God they start out looking like words and end up looking like scribbles.
My realtor told us on the first day "just scribble in the rough shape of your name, you've gotta do 500 signatures may as well be consistent "
My wife and I were gonna order stamps to do it but that's not allowed.
A difficult music passage. Sometimes you gotta take a break and revisit.
Same for video games lol
If you learn something wrong, the more you use the skill, the harder it becomes to unlearn and kill the habits you learned in the first place.
Im about to get a driver's license, but I have to spend a lot of time unlearning bad things I was taught by my parents. Different rules they don't follow which have become instincts of mine since they taught me to drive. In this intace they're pretty minor, but damn is It hard to get rid of them once they becomes instincts.
Reminds me of when I first got my driver's license. I was driving with my mother as the passenger and I turned right on red when there was no other traffic around. She said something like, "You didn't even stop before turning!" And I looked at her and replied, "So? Are you supposed to stop? You never do."
This is correct. This concept is taught in the Fundamentals of Instruction as the Rule of Primacy. That which is learned first is best retained. It is more difficult and time consuming to correct a bad habit than establish a good one from scratch.
Being young
Breathing. Eventually you fail entirely.
Mixing cocktails. The more I practice, the harder it gets.
*burp*
Getting married. The more times people have been married, the less likely they are to have a good marriage.
Aren't you comparing getting married to being married here? I guess if you got married 11 times, you should be quite good in the process of getting married like knowing all the procedures, organizing everything, finding the right words etc.
You might even get a special rebate as you probably know the staff of the involved companies better than your spouses at this rate.
Weirdly Bowling. The first games I can hit a couple strikes the later games I'm seriously considering putting the barricades up.
Arm fatigue. Bowling balls are heavy! I have the same thing happen to me.
Typing with oen haad n
Stop masturbating with the other
Don't tell me what to do! In fact, later tonight I'm gonna beat it to your reply, and there's nothing you can do about it!
I already did it
Anything repetitive. I just care less and less and quality suffers accordingly.
Being alive.
Babies are pretty bad at staying alive. My 2 year old cousin will actively run full speed towards traffic.
Thinking about uncontrollable stuff
Trying to socialize. Is just impossible and honestly makes me hate people more
