People who drive trucks to get groceries, bonus points if the truck is lifted
Those are called pavement princess trucks. Trucks that are afraid to touch dirt or mud. If you really want to piss the dude off, refer to it supportively as his gender affirming care.
As someone who has to use them daily since I own a farm…this shit right here has all of us in the construction and farm community pissed…trucks are harder and harder to buy used or buy new with basic shit in them. We’re going to be rough on the truck, give us cloth seats and manual crank windows, no sunroofs and a manual transmission…now trucks are like 100k and have fucking heated seats. It’s insane.
Every single aesthetic feature you see anywhere is the result of this.
It’s why we have grass lawns and consider our “fancy” clothes fancy.
Some rich fuck decided to flaunt their wealth and a bunch of dumbass poor people started doing it to
I’m not rich, but decided to flex my landscaping muscle and have the greenest lawn by simply mowing twice per week and not picking up the clippings. The clippings breakdown and provide nitrogen, making a green lawn.
My neighbors have light green lawn and pay a landscaping company…
If you want to get next level green, plant a nitrogen fixing plant, like clover. It won’t directly enrich the soil as it’ll only fix as much nitrogen as it can use itself, but when you mow your lawn and the clover bits biodegrade, that’ll increase your soil’s bioavailable nitrogen content. Decades ago in the UK, it was considered a source of pride to have some clover in your lawn.
I did that to the back yard actually. It’s super green.
Anything to do with iPhones
Can someone explain what that slang means?
Thanks for asking for all of us. In Quebec, we call that an inflatable neighbour (translated)
Interesting! What is the non-translated French term?
Voisin gonflable.
My personal favorite is the Christmas decoration wars.
I have a neighbor that had one of those projecting rotating balls in their yard. It projects Halloween images… it’s still running, no xmas decor in their yard. I’m loving it!!
I was recently able to take my kids on a big trip to California to visit family and take a trip to Disneyland for the first time, and I could really only afford it thanks to the generous financial support from family, especially since everything ended up costing us at least twice as much as we’d budgeted and saved for.
My brother in-law who’s in his 40s recently settled on getting back together with his ex-wife after lots of disastrous relationships (and their relationship was very disastrous too) and he’s constantly getting bailed out by his mother on basic household expenses due to constant impressively bad short term financial planning. He works at a factory making decent enough money which he could live off of with some basic budgeting (aka not spending literally all of his income on tattoos, piercings, music and alcohol) and his ex-wife who has her own host of issues works at a fast-food restaurant.
They told us that they’re going to take their kids to Disneyland in California next summer, and also tried to test the waters for inviting themselves to stay with my family. I suppose they can’t get much worse off financially than they already are so I should be happy for their kids of they manage to pull it off, but holy crap was it an obvious attenpt to one-up us
I have two brothers-in-law that also did that, so…
My view point on this is probably not mainstream but I don’t mind having debt now for vacations. I used to worry so much about debt and I would never go on expensive trips. I would try to save for them but its hard because something always came up. As a result we never went anywhere. I got sick of that and tried getting a credit card for trips and we have gone to a bunch of places and it’s been awesome. I just pay it back the best I can before the next trip. If I were to wait until I had money to go places we would never go and my children would miss out on different cultural experiences. I’m totally ok with debt that makes my children more well rounded people. Also money is just made up. Some people get more than they will ever need when they are first born while others have to struggle for no good reason. Just try to live the best life you can and don’t worry about that shit lol.
Christmas lights. Everyone needing a bigger or better display, or needing to put something out when they can’t afford the electric bills. Folks feeling the need to put out something because the people around them are.
I hear that. We are mostly lazy, so I have never hung up lights outside.
Middle-class suburban streets, miles away from farm or forest, full of sparkly clean gargantuan pickup trucks
And they only put groceries in the back seat because the truck bed is “too dirty”
If you never put stuff in the back of your truck because it’s “too dirty”, you absolutely do not need a truck.
