While at the grocery store, I don't always put produce in the little bags that are on the rolls. Never really understood their purpose. They aren't air tight, they don't provide ties for all of them and all of the produced gets washed before eating it. However messy veggies like corn on the cob makes sense. Tomatoes don't.
I listen to hard core rap and even some random crap on the other end like Taylor Swift or even (god help me) Sugarland. I get equally confused looks when out in public listening to them in my car. (I listen to almost any kind of music but death metal. mostly 80's rap, rock from the 80's/90s', but all kinds)
Holy crap man. You sound pretty weird. What other Johnnyisms do you have that would be worth sharing? You've definitely piqued our interest.
I'm moving Provinces and didn't tell my mother that I quit or am moving (she is the only family member I keep it touch with) she would face time me once a month on my phone to communicate. It was an iPhone, I returned it to work. The next person who the phone gets assigned to is going to get a hell of a surprise when they get a FaceTime call from my 72 year old mother demanding to know what they've done with her son.

Uh, okay. I was looking more for quirky little things to give us all a chuckle, but now it feels awkward. But seriously, good luck with the move and maybe let your mom know. It won't hurt to give her a head's up.

That was what music you listen to. The thread is Manners/Social conventions you don't follow.
I just quit my job last week (lawyer). Everyone said stay in touch, make sure you give us your email, phone number etc I said "no". (I threw a pizza party for the office on my last day, I bought about 8 pizzas, I'm not a total dick).
When people say "we'll have to get together sometime, etc" I never say that, if I want to do something with someone, I'll just ask them to when I want to.
When people invite me to or a party or something that I don't want to go to, and I know they'll give me grief about declining, I'll just say "that sounds good" and don't go. Later the person will realize that I never said I was coming, I just said it sounded good.

No it wasn't 8 cheese pizzas, and I picked them up.
I didn't see why the hell anyone should feel obligated to go out for lunch as a group and have to spend money when I was the one leaving.
Are we the same person, haha. The only difference is that when I left my last job I bought Cookies by George
And in keeping with the theme of the thread, I don't celebrate my birthday - No dinner, presents, parties, etc. I don't really see the point of celebrating such an arbitrary day ¯\(°_o)/¯

I don't get the whole birthday thing either. It's the anniversary of the day 9 months after your parents banged and you were pushed out of a vagina, what is the achievement exactly on your part? Not dying during the last year?
I also refuse to ever "order as a group" or "share items" at a restaurant. Women always want to do this at restaurants in groups and it drives me crazy. Why do I want to order 8 things as part of a group, when I might really only like 3 of them and then get stuck always paying more than my share? Splitting the bill always results in paying more than if you order individually, especially if other buy booze.
The other social convention I don't like is when walking through double doors at a mall or an office, the person approaching from the opposite direction will often seem to wait 5 seconds for me to open the door and duck in diagonally behind me instead of just opening the door directly in front of them. Yesterday an asian women darted in the door between me and my wife who was 2 feet behind me after I opened the door and walked through, rather than wait for my wife to walk through. I told her she was a moron, but I don't think she spoke English.
I also get people who seem to follow me every morning around the corner directly to the one door out of a 8 possible doors that I walk thru. Are people too lazy to open their own door? Once in a while I'll walk to the last door and just stand there, then the person behind me doesn't know what to do to, when it was 15 seconds faster to walk to the door that was right in front of them. Just laziness.

The point is to have fun! Why shucks I went to a birthday party just this past weekend and we all had some drinks and had some food and had some laughs! It was a swell time all around. I expect it to happen on my birthday too! Now sure, it's really just an arbitrary day and you can have some drinks and have some food and have some laughs any old time, but a birthday is as good a reason as any to have all that. Plus presents!

That's a good thing though. Less waste. Yeah, no need to do it with things like apples, oranges, bananas.
I don't want to pull out an old springs1 trope, but I don't believe the need for tipping on delivery or pickup orders (unless under special circumstances). So if I'm hosting poker, the hockey game, or a gaming night and my friends chip in I pocket the additional funds and just pay the exact amount in debit/credit. Now I don't ask them to tip, but everyone rounds up anyway. Dick move, probably; but their none the wiser anyway, and I'm slightly richer!

Does the delivery driver ever say anything to you?
