I pat my car on the dashboard above the wheel every time it starts to thank it for being willing to rouse itself from its slumber for me.

this is one of the sweetest, cutest things I've learned in a while 
I drive stick and whenever I shift poorly I pat the dashboard and say sorry.
lol I do this too!!! I genuinely feel bad about it, too
I pat and thank the car whenever I realize we've been on the road for hours with no issues
also, why does this
I'm still flipping the front middle one over every time I open a new pack
make that cigarette lucky?
why have I never thought to ask that question
I knock on doors with two sets of seven knocks separated by around a second. I also only run faster than 6:30/mi if I am wearing one specific pair of sunglasses.
That's a lotta knocks. If someone did that on my door I'd assume it's the cops
If someone knocks on my door I assume they're an uninvited guest. If you're my friend you either come right in or text me that you're here and I'll come out.
while I'm curious about this knock rhythm, I have to know more about these sunglasses
These are my push sunglasses: https://goodr.com/products/cuyahoga-valley
I can run quicker than that without them but I burn out faster. It's just a weird habit.
they're pretty great, I love that color!
I choose to believe they make you one with the earth, which allows your feet to transport you anywhere your mind believes you could be, and that's why it feels like you run faster with them on – you're secretly teleporting tiny little jumps
The actual reason is that I prefer them because I can see roots better because the tint at the bottom is minimal, but I like your explanation more.
When I used to do this, there was usually some kind of manufacturer code under one of the cardboard flaps in the top of the pack, usually a letter and a number. Superstition was that it corresponded to the row and column of the lucky smoke so you'd flip that one. No idea if that's still a thing.
oooooooohhhhhh, this is interesting lore I've never heard before! thank you, I'm gonna ask an older smoker about it the next time I'm hanging with one
I make luckies.
hell yeah! 🥂
