What's one thing your parents used to tell you not to do, that you actively do in adulthood?

I'll start: Sticking the knife in the toaster to pull out a stuck slice. I haven't died yet

Eat entire plates of salty tomatoes- a constant battle ground in my teens.
Leave the light on.
Eat before swimming.

@GreenWhiteViolet

Read while eating.

Same here.

Watch ITV

tbh though only itv4 for sport so maybe they were right...

Another one leaving the lights on! (I’m paying the bills)
I get a real kick out of sitting on the arms of the sofa too…

Have the overhead light on, rather than sitting in semi-darkness with side lights on. (They were also allergic to any bulbs over 60w).

Leave doors open (born in a barn!?)

Never to kiss a girl.out and proud for 40 years

This, though I still feel extremely naughty whenever I do it 🤣

Salty tomatoes??

Another smoker here

What's wrong with salty tomatoes?

I use a knife to get toast out of the toaster. But of course I turn the toaster off at the powerpoint, usually pulling the plug out of the powerpoint before doing so, so no risk at all of electrocution.

Go to bed with damp hair. I like how silky and soft it feels the next morning.

Take drugs.

Drink pints. My Mum still tuts if I order a pint rather than a half.

Leave all the lights on

Reverse parking saves the children?? I never knew this. I always see people take soooo long trying to reverse park then they can’t get into their boots to put their shopping in 🤣🤣 I suppose at least they can make a quick exit after all the time wasted parking and not reaching their boots!

Fornicate.
😃

I love being grown up.

I feel an urgent need to send Lakeland's finest wooden toaster tongs to many people on this thread.

Though "magnetic" did confuse me for a moment, I admit...

Buy branded food
Order takeaways
Buy tinned soup occasionally. Always get a 'make your own', and I do. But sometimes I just can't be arsed.

I like to rest my arm/elbow on the table whilst eating. My DC remind me that 'nana says you shouldn't do that'.

I always walk about with wet hair which would drive my mum and my grandmothers nuts. I also sometimes walk about with barefeet which my Middle Eastern gran would probably keel over at if she could see me.

You beat me to it! Toast tongs, people!

Walk in the kitchen with bare feet.

leave anything plugged in at the wall when you go to bed.

Wash my hair and go out. Go around with no slippers on at home. Sometimes even bare feet. Don't have absolutely set times for meals.
