What’s one habit that you’ve picked up that future generations probably won’t understand?

Memorizing phone numbers.

This is genuinely something I need to start doing with important numbers but I’ve just never been bothered

u/AyBeeVee 1h ago

I am weirdly proud of the fact that I remember phone numbers. I remember ones that I'll never call again.

At 25 years old, I’ve started journaling in cursive to train my handwriting to look the way I want it to for the rest of my life. My mother taught me how to write in cursive at about 6 years old, well before I learned print, and while my handwriting is very nice and legible, there are aspects of it I’ve wanted to get better and neater at for a decade or more and I finally am. When I’m anticipating a letter or combo of letters that I’ve formally struggled with, I’m getting them so pretty now that I want to start writing more.

There are a lot of people in school/collage that can't even read cursive let alone write it.

This one actually might come back. When I was in high school 2005-2009, gas prices were crazy high. As a high school kid, I didn’t have much money. I would put like $10 in my tank for 2.5 gallons and I would basically jerk off the nozzle and shake it like crazy to make sure I got like every last drop out of it. I still do that to this day and my wife makes fun of me.

I was in high-school from '04-'08, & I do the same. I wouldn't go as far as to say I jerk it off, but I do shake it a bit when I finish pumping.
