Surely the correct answer is the do a big stinky poo poo in the closet office toilet, climb out of the window and scale any necessary walls to ensure you re-enter the office some time after the smell has wafted through, and declare with surprise and glory the amazing stink *someone* has let out, before sitting down guilt free.

This may not work if your turds produce a standard smell which your coworkers already associate with you; however diet alterations may help.

I tie my shoes "wrong." When I was little I had trouble doing the normal bow, so my sister's boyfriend at the time taught me to cross two loops instead. I can tie my shoes the normal way now, but he's been dead almost 10 years and I still choose to tie my shoes the way he taught me. I dunno, it's like a gesture of remembrance.

I tie my shoes that way to this day.

At least when and if I have to. I mostly wear boots with zippers up the sides. But I totally get what you're saying. My kindergarten teacher got frustrated with my not being able to tie shoes the "proper" way.

Listen to reason, man. Why make your job difficult?
i always keep 2 american $1 bills in my wallet for good luck (i'm canadian) because on a trip to the states many years ago that was what i was left with in my wallet, wound up spending them on something a couple years later when I had no other cash, and by strange turn of events wound up with 2 different american $1 bills in my wallet shortly after, so now that's just a fixed feature of my wallet. i dont know why but i find it reassuring to see them there when i open my wallet

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

The far-left tab in my web browser is always just a blank, new tab.

It dates back to 20-odd years ago when browsers first got tabs. I loved those newfangled things but it annoyed me that if you had only one tab open and you closed it, the whole browser would quit out. So I started leaving a blank tab as a buffer against that accidentally happening. There are better ways to do that now, but hey, the habit was already set. It feels weird to not have a blank tab there.

I wonder if some people having to hold their pinky down instead of being able to move it independently is the reason for there being more than one sign.

not spending 2 dollar bills.

american 2 dollar bills are not super rare, yet there's perpetually been a myth, like literally since i was a little kid i've been hearing people say, "they don't make those anymore, better hang onto it for good luck!"

in fact, they are still made. but i never spend them. when i get one, i stash it somewhere like a freakin squirrel hiding a 2 dollar walnut.

Yeah I have a bunch squirreled away, they're only worth holding onto if it's some rare print worth money to a collector which is pretty unlikely most people have one like that.
I stopped spending them because I've had kids ask for the manager to check the bill because they never see them. Doomed to forever live in the money jar.

The only strip club in Maine is known for dispensing 2's from the onsite ATM's, which I just love. So when you see a wild $2 you can be somewhat sure where it came from not long ago.

I ended up with a $2 bill in my wallet a few years back. I made a small purchase of like $4 and used it. The cashier was all, "What the hell is this?" like I was pushing counterfeit currency. I only had a few dollars with me and hadn't paid off my credit card. The freaking manager had to be called down to the line to verify it was real money. Other customers around me were split 50/50 that it was real or a ruse.

I ended up turning in a stack of $2 bills to my credit union because I didn’t want them festering away any longer in the money jar and I needed money in my account. Ended up having $42 in bills.

I also turned in $75 in quarters and around $260 in spare change I’d collected in a five gallon water jug over the span of about 10-15 years. It takes awhile, but money you chuck in one spot for years because you don’t want it rattling around in your pocket or wallet adds up over time.

Years and years ago, there was a Comedy Connection on the wharf in the Old Port in Portland. When it first opened, the entrance fee was eight dollars. They would go to the bank and get a whole pile of two dollar bills to give as change. The pizza place across the street from the wharf sold two dollar slices, and it was open late. It was pretty much a perfect set up.

Can you do it without having your ring finger halfway extended?

It "feels natural" to hold it down but I don't think you actually need to.

I am intrigued by how your hands work. Absolutely don't need ring finger extended for thumb-index-middle 3 sign, and absolutely do need to hold down pinkie for index-middle-ring.

I was in line at a credit union and the guy in front of me was cashing in his saved up change. Those canvas bags, filled to the brim; a bunch of them. It came out to $3500. They had to bring another employee off the drive-through just to help sort it all. They diverted all other customers to other lines. He and his wife saved all their spare change and when they had enough they would take a nice vacation.
