Things you still do as an adult

[Wordsareimportant]

what do you do as an adult, that you shouldn’t really still do?

I (30F) still sick my thumb. 2 young kids and a decent job.

I don’t do it in the day, just at night. Didn’t really think anything of it until my daughter shoved my own thumb back in my mouth whilst she was in bed with us the other night.

I drink squash. I don’t see this as childish or weird, and know plenty who do too, but then other people absolutely lose their minds at the thought of an adult buying squash for themselves. Maybe it’s like a marmite thing.

Also I will not let DC have squash until they are older. That stuff isn’t for kids… or is it?!? 🤪

If a leaf is hanging over the path at the right height when no one is around, I give it a high 5.

My Nan used to work in the Tetley tea factory and would bring home loads of bubble wrap. Now at 42 I hide it from the kids and sit and pop it all on my own just reminiscing. I love it.

Ah, thanks. I've still got a Gameboy with Tetris only, from the late 90s. Buttons don't work any more.

This thread is EXACTLY what I needed to lift my mood this morning!

When it's raining and I walk past some railings, I stick my index finger out and run it quickly along the top of the railing so the little drops of water that have collected there all fly up into the air.

I do this even when people are around.

I've tried to stop myself from doing it but I can't.

You're all nuts

In a nice way 😁

I sometimes clean to disney/film songs. They are just so... jolly and motivational.

I do zoomies in my wheelchair( I didn't become disabled till I was 32)and I have been known to have races with toddlers that are in their pushchairs(with their parents consent after a toddler has asked me to) and they of course always win 😁, I also make up random songs,start singing for no apparent reason out of nowhere,my poor poor DH 😂but I make him laugh and are 5DC and our DGS all think I'm hilarious so I won't be stopping anytime soon.

And can I ask am I the only one, I'm 48 now and still waiting to feel like a proper adult ( like my mum and dad were)or is that just me?

That advert is awful- take no notice!!

Not in an adult way

🤣🤣🤣

Pisses me off too, so I stick my tongue out at it!!

Kick through piles of leaves, sing along to the songs in the supermarket/shop...... rather loudly LoL jump scare my sons (now taller than me) 😂😂😂😂

Still have “supper” every night which consists of a glass of cold milk and a biscuit.

Im 57.

Say "I know you are but what am I"

@ChewbaccasMrs

Quote function just stopped working 🙄

but I feel the same as you!!

I still hold out for being a 'real' adult and I'm 54!!🙄🙄

I don’t use my favourite mug every day because I feel sorry for the other mugs and I don’t want them to know they aren’t my favourites…

I sometimes make my ponytail swing on purpose

I like that, I wave my long hair when I turn around sometimes in my job

Love a tall enough table to sit on and swing swoosh legs back and forwards … like being 6 again!

I climb trees and I make little dams in streets or divert the water away it's sticks and mud etc.

This is my favourite thread ever! I do so many of these things! Eating chocolate off a crunchie, running up the stairs after turning off the light, I have a dream cast and a sega mega drive!

I'll add one I haven't seen yet, I still get RIDICULOUSLY excited over "childish" things, I wake up super early before holidays because I'm too excited to sleep and I barely sleep every Christmas Eve.

All those of you saying you only do these things when/if no one else is around, don't! Do them all the time, the world would be a better place if we all did some of these things in public all the time. If I see another grown ass person high fiving a leaf, I'm smiling all day

I talk to my old teddy and my children’s special stuffed toys as if they are people.

I have a go on the swings if no one is around.

I do this with a mars bar

On the rare occasions I come across a chocolate teacake, I crack the chocolate topping first of all, which I eat before carefully peeling off the marshmallow layer to eat. Last of all, I eat the biscuit base. I would do this in the company of others, but always apologise in advance. I eat all other foods in a conventional way!

Same! I tell the kids off for the state of their rooms...mines no better!!
