curious to find out how many people (who have both feet) brake with their left foot

I am actually shocked anyone in the world brakes with their left foot.  That seems dangerous and wrong.

And to answer the question - I've taught all 3 of my kids (so far) when driving to only use one foot for gas/brake.  I was taught you don't want to accidentally hit the wrong one at the wrong time and you are more likely to do that if you use just one foot for both.  I have no idea if that claim is valid - just what I was taught.  Seems right though.

Only 1 weirdo out of 42 voted that they do.  But I'm assuming they were joking.

My wife flipped out the first time we were in there together and I had to go...  Must be a male thing. 

You peed in the shower with your wife standing there?

Doubtful - I've seen people do it before.  I agree, it's most likely dangerous although I don't have any scientific evidence.

My dad has his left foot on the brake while doing 70 on the highway

My dad uses left for brake, right for gas. I have seen him do this my whole life.

Really?  Damn.  Who taught these people to drive?

Wow.  That blows my mind.

 

[Deamon]

For anyone curious, you should try it... it's a fun experiment.  Just brake once with your left foot.  But make sure you do it safely with no other cars near you... it will shock you lol

What would really be mind blowing is if it was the opposite.....

I ruptured the plantar facia in my right foot 15 years ago playing tennis.  Had to drive home using my left foot and it was a little harder than I expected.  I could see how it's dangerous for someone who has never done it to just start using both feet but if you've always done it then it's probably not nearly as bad.

Any Wordpress experts out there who can help me modify layout of a theme?  @Colin Dowling?

I've worked with it some in the past. Not sure if the technology is still the same. Is it via an admin interface or you have to do it all manually via editing files then FTPing? Feel free to PM me. Will be glad to help if it's something I'm able to do.

I'm using the admin interface with an included theme.  I think I'd have to download the theme and run a local copy in order to make too many changes to the layout/css

Aisle vs window completely depends on situation. Traveling with family during the day? Aisle. Coming home from Vegas still drunk from the night before? Give me something to lean against while passing out.

This is how GS fetishes start.

So I've heard

 

[Terminalxylem]

i almost never, ever see jeans and sandals. it would be very much not normal here. not at all.

In Hawaii, people wear slippahs with everything. It's been years since I've worn jeans though.

 

[Terminalxylem]

Wiping back to front is dangerous.  I developed this bad habit a few years ago, maybe in an obsessive effort to cover every angle.  But anatomically, most people are built to wipe front to back.  Wiping back to front leads to infection.

Only for women.

 

[Terminalxylem]

Those taint infections are killer......

Do NOT look up google images for Fournier's gangrene.

I had a gf who peed while we were in the shower. My wife wasn't there. 

Although I never pursued watersports, she was adventurous in and out of bed.

The best slippahs I ever owned I bought in Hawaii at Long's. My brother used to live on Oahu, so I visited him a couple of times. Every time I would go I would stop by the store and buy Surfah's.

They had a contour bottom - not flat like a lot of the ones today. The last time I was in Hawaii was about 15 years ago and I still have a pair of these I wear outside when I'm around the house.

I would give my left nut to buy a couple more pairs of these. I've searched high and low on the internet to no avail.

I have a friend that brakes with his left foot. So I assumed 50% of people did it since half my friends do.

Racecar drivers and low speed towing left foot

Aww man, that was sad to read. But funny if you were joking about only having two friends.

i Purell in the shower...

So I have enough questions loaded to post 1-2 a day until about the end of the year  

 

[Cjw_55106]

I hops it’s because it’s early in the voting. 60% of people don’t tip hotel housekeeping? That’s sad. 

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

i knew someone who used their left foot for breaks, but not always. his explanation was he was use to using the left foot for the clutch in his manual that when he went automatic he needed something to do with the left foot. i doubht he still does, that conversation was almost 30 years ago. but at least it made sense at the time.

So I have enough questions loaded to post 1-2 a day until about the end of the year  

I've had the following debates with one of my friends.

Do you like your bacon crispy or non crispy?
Do you like cold lasagna?
Does your toilet paper hang over or under?


Just a few suggestions for 2022
 

 

[WDIK2]

Does your toilet paper hang over or under?
 

People with cats:  Under.

Quite fun coming home to a new roll completely unraveled on the floor.

Sounds like you knew my dad.

Saw a big cat rescue where tigers did the exact same thing with a roll someone stuck up on a fence.

 

[Caveman33]

Do you apply deodorant upward or downward on armpit?  Deodorant or antiperspirant?

Do you knowingly drive faster than the speed limit?

Are you more intelligent than the average person?

I’ve probably seen him on a freeway in Florida.

All the surfahs I've seen are flat. If you can provide a pic/style, I can see if I can hook you up, nut-free.

Something's going weird with the voting. I'm making my choices and then after the options change and/or the vote isn't getting counted. The option I pick shows "0 votes"

Interesting... that's not happening for me.  Anyone else?

Specifically, it was shower/brush first. I selected Shower First, and at the time, it showed 0 votes for that option. And in the display, the first two choices switched order. Maybe it's fixed now.

On the toothbrush thing, I've always wondered if more people wet their toothbrush before or after putting the toothpaste on it.

I put the toothpaste directly on my tongue and then wet the toothbrush.  I have no problem with it since I’m the only one that uses my brand of toothpaste.
