I work in public education, and you would not believe how bad these kids are now. The ones who missed out on middle school due to COVID. Basically straight from in person elementary school to in person high school. Middle school is more formative to kids behavior than anything else, and they just do not get it. They were locked up with alcoholic parents for two years, so it's no wonder, but not something many people discuss.

Meth. Not even once.

I think a lot of businesses started to phase that out, like Walmart. post hurricanes along the gulf coast, many did not return to a 24 hour schedule.

I’m seeing local kids walking home from school in their pajamas. They’re going to school in their pajamas so much more often now like they’re so used to just sitting around all day doing COVID school

I used to love spicy food. Not flaming hot, just spicy and tasty. Now I can’t have anything other than mild, as my tongue can’t bear it. Makes me sad, as it’s shrunk my meal choices quite a lot.

Fell for a barmaid ended up getting a divorce and lost his middle level management job. She was not even hot.

Gaming. I spent time learning bushcraft from my shed as I watched over the dog in the yard, that one was kinda therapeutic. Can’t go wrong learning how to craft, go to the extreme and build a life model of something from your favourite game or movie. I built the magnum from halo ce out of wood over the pandemic lockdowns which was fun

You think you’re smart, so I guess that’s what’s important!

To me...I realized that people have become complete assholes!! No more "excuse me," "sorry about that", smiles, hello's, courtesy, manners. Just a bunch of self titled pricks have emerged. So sad.

Hit and run from a motor vehicle accident and the person that was hit died they were caught a year later,they are now in prison.

Alone time

Drugs. Seems like almost overnight

My BIL got 2 women pregnant at the same time, married one of them, had 2 more kids all while not having a job and living in his parent's garage.

This sub, as it loves to ask questions about that pandemic when most people in the real world have moved on.

Late night eateries. Lots of places by me used to be open until midnight, now they’re all closed by 9 or 10

This shit annoys the hell out of me. I'm not even a night shift worker, but I miss being able to go grocery shopping at 3am when there were only like 10 people in the store.

Screwing the intern.

Coughing in public.

A former classmate with no criminal record bought a gun, committed armed robbery and was arrested and convicted.

Even though this was his first offense, it was a felony with a firearm which meant a mandatory five year prison sentence.

I know a guy who has to report to federal prison a month because he was part of jan 6 and I think he really just got caught up in the moment but f him

;) I was teasing. My wife does laser hair removal…it is awesome!
