This found its way into my viewing not too long ago, pretty interesting:

Growing up in the 80s, you either had this living room or a friend did.

If that was at a friend's we weren't allowed to sit on that furniture.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Sep 2021, 6:45amGrowing up in the 80s, you either had this living room or a friend did.

I had a couple friends who had one room in their house where the furniture was for the eyes, not the ass. One even had clear plastic wrap on the sofa and chairs.revbob wrote: ↑29 Sep 2021, 7:29amIf that was at a friend's we weren't allowed to sit on that furniture.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Sep 2021, 6:45amGrowing up in the 80s, you either had this living room or a friend did.

That was pretty common as I recall. You might be allowed in the room but kids sat on the floor.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Sep 2021, 7:33amI had a couple friends who had one room in their house where the furniture was for the eyes, not the ass.

Along the same lines, decorative soaps—aka Special Avon Soap—that sat in a basket, often on the back of the toilet tank, and no one was ever allowed to use. Maybe it was fake soap, I dunno, but no matter how dirty your hands or face was, nuh uh, do not touch that fake green pear or red cherry soap (covered with a film of dust) in the basket. My mother, an absurdly practical Dutch woman, never went for any of that stuff—use it or get rid of it—and I've completely absorbed that mentality. I can't fathom things that have a distinct use but you're not allowed to use it because it's there to … be admired?revbob wrote: ↑29 Sep 2021, 7:55amThat was pretty common as I recall.

Had a minor household task that I determined required a hammer and said to the Boss: "Hammer time!" Then muttered, "Damn kids today don't know what those words mean."

I honestly and truly thought my habit of ending sentences with ellipses was idiosyncratic. Is it actually a Gen X thing?
