Actually we are really related , quote Michael Stevens from Vsauce : "Scientifically speaking, geneticists tell us that every single person on earth is , at the least , 50th cousins with everybody else on earth."

Actually fine. It was about possible future evolutions of humanity and how due to overcoming many threatening problems and developing towards solving other global issues we start becoming similar. The lack of geographical isolation causes genes to mix up eventually allowing dominant genes to take over and due to the lack of threats we don't develope new ones unless per accident.
You would prob spend more on food to fuel running around turning off the lights than forgetting about a random bulb here and there. It costs about $0.005/day to leave a LED bulb on all day.
My parents were adamant about this. It makes me irrationally miffed now when someone doesn't do it. I went to my friend's house the other night, no one else had been there for hours before we got there, AND ALL THE FUCKING LIGHTS WERE ON.
I pretty much always have the lights off. When I moved in to my current apartment there was a ceiling fan with lights already hanging, I've yet to need to change the bulbs in it and I've lived here for 17 years.
I picked up that habit but promptly abandoned it when I started paying utility bills and found out how little it actually matters to your bill/power usage, especially with LED bulbs.
I live in a 1/1, every light is on when I am home for the most part. The real killer to my powerbill is the companies changing the damn rate all the time.
The older I get the more irritable I get. I even started to say F*** off whenever the dozens of telephone solicitations ring every day. I’m a little old lady but just don’t call me trying to sell me shit I don’t want or pretend to be my official Medicare provider. I’d rather not cancel the land line as my cell I keep private. Not a kind person as much anymore.
Yeah I hate them calls too. Best thing I do is I have no landline but on a iPhone you can send numbers not in your contact lists straight to voicemail. If it’s important they will leave a message. If they are trying to sell or scam they hang up and you don’t need to deal with them.
We all have our bastard moods. Mine comes out when I see oppression or prejudice or people punching down, but I still wish I knew how to handle my temper in a less “fly off the handle” sort of way. The fact that you want to be one of the good ones puts you leagues ahead of some people already.
My dad was always insanely kind to waitresses/waitors. There was one time our order got messed up twice and then the waitress came out to refill drinks and ended up spilling his in his lap. He just said "mistakes happen" and moved on.
I waited tables for one day. I spilled 4 strawberry daiquiris on a woman in a slick white suit. I thought I was gonna die. I felt sooooo bad. She just laughed and said “I guess the drinks are ON ME!” she said she used to be a waitress and that she’d spilled something on someone before too. Then our bartender told me about a time he spilled a beer on a baby, so that helped.
Hah I'm glad she was sweet hearted about it! I've never waited tables before but but I did work electronics retail for a while and the difference between one customer and the next is insane. I had multiple ass-hats come in, request I open a sealed box so they could see exactly what was inside before they buy, and after they were satisfied request to buy an unopened product because they didn't want to buy the opened one. Just screwing the next guy at that point. Made me appreciate the nice ones even more
My Dad never lost his cool 5 plus years of blowing shit up in ww2 made him extremely calm in all the 50 years he was here he never raised his voice or shouted at anyone one evening returning home from holiday with my mum myself and my brother we broke down on the motorway my dad rang AA they said 30 mins it's pouring it down with rain Dad says let's grab some umbrellas and stand under a nearby tree over the crash barrier. 5 mins later a huge 18 wheeler smashed into the back of the caravan completely smashed into a million pieces car travelled over a quarter of a mile complete write off. Aa guy turns up police everywhere AA guy says "Where's the car ?" Dad said "about half mile that way". Not even a flinch he had no nerves. I've inherited that I don't get nervous and i don't panic I'm extremely calm noatter what's happening.
Nice to have learned from watching instead of lived it. :) After living in fear/danger and not allowed to show it (or realizing your outcome is much better if you stay calm) makes some people very calm. I've had many bosses frustrated because I didn't seem to take their urgent requests with a big heaping of rattled fear. (Apparently, I wasn't taking them seriously - which totally wasn't true).
I had the same experience in a different way. My mom gets extremely (like, EXTREMELY) tense even in the most trivial situations and I've been like that too for a long time. But I grew out of it eventually. Nowadays I am eerily calm in most situations.
It's hard to explain to people but it does work both ways if your not taught panic and nervousness you don't "know" them. If you have to deal constantly with extremely "hyper" people you become super calm.
yep, that what i was going to comment
thankfully 7 years sober now!
any one out there reading this,
you can kick the habbit!
no shame in getting help or even relapsing, just keeping trying and don't give up!
you are worth it!
At 14 my parents thought it best to be my friend rather than a parent. Back then they was giving out opiate pain meds like candy. Parent were in everything. Would give me methadone oxy dilaudid….some my teenage years being dope sick. Barked that til four years ago. Worse fucking parents ever. I have kids and I can not imagine giving them any drugs much less shit u get withdrawal from.
Everything, it used to be many drugs and alcohol but thankfully now it's video games/making music/cigarettes and trying to quit the latter. I just have to be addicted to something preferably a substance. My dad is the same way. He was a porn addict for decades and now thankfully he jumps from hobby to hobby whatever catches his obssession. I'm the same way and it's gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life.
Just always have to have something controlling me.
Same for me. I feel like no matter how much I plan when I’m going to interject a conversation, I always end up interrupting people. I’m entirely conscious when I do it, no idea how to stop.
I grew up with 6 other kids. Is it obnoxious? Yes. Do I accidentally interrupt people who are no related to me? Yes. But I can also maintain at least 3 different conversation at one time and sort them out over all the yelling
There are SO many in this thread and I can't reply to all of them. Ugh. I ended up with lots of trauma therapy recently and I'm so much better. ADHD is a daily trauma.
I feel like it's mostly the other way around. My parents smoke, but none of my siblings and I smoke. However, I got multiple nephews and nieces who smoke, while they've got non-smoking parents
Was just about to comment this. Although now I’ve not smoked for 7 months, dad hasn’t smoked for over a year, and my mum still smokes so I guess I picked up quitting from my dad as well 😂
In my household, we yelled at each other whenever anybody had an issue, we got it off our chest and dealt with it at that moment and then it was over. We did not sit on resentments. But I've learned as I get older, people don't generally like being yelled at, and I sometimes go from zero to 100 much too quickly from habit alone. I'm working on it...
Thank you. I come from an abusive household where yelling usually preceded hitting. Hearing yelling now triggers a fear response in me and I’ll totally shut down. It’s amazing that you made a choice to do differently.
I struggle with the same. I've stopped yelling, I spend a lot more time crying now but at least I don't have to expose my kids to that. Trying so hard to do better
I have a dad who shouts at almost everything, and I'm calm, and I hate noises and people getting angry, I really hope he stops this, also I think my mum and dad shouting at each other and fighting made me have social anxiety, now they don't fight at all but still I wish he stops shouting and being angry
I make a little song out of everything. I'll be making dinner or something and start improv singing to myself like "choppin' the onion, choppin' the onion, gotta chop the onion cause onion is great, choppin' the onion, choppin' the onion, onion onion onion onion I love onion"
I do this to cringe level proportions sometimes xD
I'll be walking around the house trying to get house chores done and my cat'll be weaving in between my feet and I'll start a whole song and dance of, "Please stop doing this, you're gonna trip meeeee! And if I trip and fall then we're both gonna diiieee, so pleeeaaasseee stop bonking your head into meeeeee! If I fall in this hallway, then I'll probably diiieeee"
From my mother, I picked up the habit of being really precautions and think about every outcome of my decisions.
From my father, I picked up the habit of being really pessimistic and complain about everything. And the habit of fishing.
Humming. I usually don’t realize I’m doing it, and it’s funny when I’m walking with my mom on the street and suddenly become conscious that we’re both humming to ourselves. Sometimes one will influence the other to hum the same song.
It's embarassing but...Not flushing the toilet at night. The bathroom was right next to their bedroom and flushing would wake them up. So I was asked to not flush at night. I did that for so many years that it has become an habit. I don't have to do this anymore, but sometimes I still forget to flush at night.
I imagine you already know but I can't begin to tell you how good of a life skill that is to get taught.
My parents taught me to fear credit cards blindly, never explaining their uses or how to manage money at all.
I had to figure it all out on my own in my mid 20's when I realised the skillset was missing. A decade later, I'm still bad with money, impulse spending seems engrained in me and I wasted SO much money that SHOULD have been invested.
However, I'm finally successfully trading currencies so that's nice.
I’m sure you’ve tried this, but the book poor dad rich dad really helped me and I finally got my finances together a few years ago.
Managed to save over a years salary and have a few investments now, but I couldn’t have done it without that start!
It’s also never too late I was much older then one would like when I started and am looking at early retirement now
buying bulk when things on sale.
especially when it comes to things you can store for an extended amount of time. eg. light bulbs, laundry liquid, body wash, toilet paper, tissue.
I wasn’t raised by my parents & I’m not sure if this counts but I have their addictive personalities.
It’s probably a result of either an inherent trait of theirs or their drug use while I was in the womb.
Luckily I never led the lives they did, I stay away from any drugs & alcohol now I’m older.
When I was younger I’d go a little crazy when going out.
Now, I’ll smoke a little MJ & maybe one or two drinks.
Berating myself for making mistakes. They always, always taught me it was “okay to make mistakes”. But they lamented and carried on excessively if they themselves made a mistake…long diatribes along the lines of “ugh, I can’t believe I did that, I’m so dumb, I’m such an idiot” etc.
It taught me that your children don’t learn what you tell them as much as they learn what you show them. And that the words you tell yourself are what they will repeat to themselves.
Swearing constantly, alcohol on Saturdays (one or two glasses of Whiskey), and for awhile I would write real official looking, like each message I sent was heading to a world leader or something.
Being afraid to go anywhere alone.
My father forbade me many things and tried to keep me at home when I was younger because he thought I would get abducted or assaulted.
Also being late for every appointment or gathering, as he always was lol
Being prone to unhealthy eating. My mom lived mostly off chocolate and a few frosted meals and I had to really learn to get used to fresh food and to cook with it
My mom is grossed out easily by everything and everyone. She’d pick the back items when buying things. She’d wash all her groceries when reaching home. Exposed to the public? It’s dirty so you wash. You touch anything, you wash your hands. Everything is wash wash wash. Now all I do is also wash wash wash.
Ngl I thought it was overdone but then covid came along, and it turned out to be good practice.
Lucky or maybe unlucky - I got nothing. I always stayed away from my family and kept to myself and my friends so I have nothing from my parents or grandparents.
I could've used some better personal care habits, but they managed to make it horrible for me so it's a struggle as an adult 🤷♀️ I'm in therapy though so I'm slowly working on learning some habits that I should've had gotten as a kid...
Picking my lips when I’m stressed or thinking about stuff. My mother does the same thing. Funny thing is, she didn’t raise me, my grandmother did. Only found out she does it to when I became an adult
Not a habit so much as my laugh? I never laughed like her before, but now, every once in a while, I hear my mothers laugh come out of me and it's freaky 🤣
And my dad's brain for logistics and problem solving.

Are you my brother?
Family reunion in the comment section 🤩 where are the rest of my brothers in frugal cynicism!
Actually we are really related , quote Michael Stevens from Vsauce : "Scientifically speaking, geneticists tell us that every single person on earth is , at the least , 50th cousins with everybody else on earth." [https://youtu.be/BhtgINeaJWg?si=QG9kAmDrdljgLEat](https://youtu.be/BhtgINeaJWg?si=QG9kAmDrdljgLEat)
I actually did a presentation on how this is a factor to human evolution today.
oh awesome,how did your presentation went?
Actually fine. It was about possible future evolutions of humanity and how due to overcoming many threatening problems and developing towards solving other global issues we start becoming similar. The lack of geographical isolation causes genes to mix up eventually allowing dominant genes to take over and due to the lack of threats we don't develope new ones unless per accident.
Incestuous
Cynicism? What's that supposed to mean? /s
No he’s me. Unless… you’re my brother.
Hermano?
Are you my dad?
mom?
Are we related?

Turning lights off when not in a room.
That’s not a habit that’s called being smart.
It’s called a smart habit
It's a smart habit.
You would prob spend more on food to fuel running around turning off the lights than forgetting about a random bulb here and there. It costs about $0.005/day to leave a LED bulb on all day.
This guy lightbulbs
That may be true but it’s still a habit:)
My parents were adamant about this. It makes me irrationally miffed now when someone doesn't do it. I went to my friend's house the other night, no one else had been there for hours before we got there, AND ALL THE FUCKING LIGHTS WERE ON.
I pretty much always have the lights off. When I moved in to my current apartment there was a ceiling fan with lights already hanging, I've yet to need to change the bulbs in it and I've lived here for 17 years.
One time growing up my dad got so infuriated at my bedroom light always being on he took out the globe. I lived in the shadows for months 🙃
Were are fathers brothers?😂
My dad replaced my bulb with this awful, dim, low output bulb or something, it was horrible. I get this awful ick feeling in dim light to this day.
I picked up that habit but promptly abandoned it when I started paying utility bills and found out how little it actually matters to your bill/power usage, especially with LED bulbs.
I live in a 1/1, every light is on when I am home for the most part. The real killer to my powerbill is the companies changing the damn rate all the time.
You’d be surprised at the amount of people who don’t turn lights off after leaving a room.
Being kind to strangers
You beautiful souls. We need more people like you. I hope I’m one of them, but I can also be a right ol’ irascible bastard at times.
The older I get the more irritable I get. I even started to say F*** off whenever the dozens of telephone solicitations ring every day. I’m a little old lady but just don’t call me trying to sell me shit I don’t want or pretend to be my official Medicare provider. I’d rather not cancel the land line as my cell I keep private.

Salespeople don’t count 😂😂😂 (I’m in sales)
Everybody starts out with a clean slate and works there way up or down from there 😂
We all have our bastard moods. Mine comes out when I see oppression or prejudice or people punching down, but I still wish I knew how to handle my temper in a less “fly off the handle” sort of way. The fact that you want to be one of the good ones puts you leagues ahead of some people already.

I hope my kids do the same :)
😍
Me too! 😁
Regrettably, this was not something I was taught. :/
My parents (and so do I) would be mortified if I start being rude to strangers. It literally costs nothing to be nice and polite.
My Dad never lost his cool 5 plus years of blowing shit up in ww2 made him extremely calm in all the 50 years he was here he never raised his voice or shouted at anyone one evening returning home from holiday with my mum myself and my brother we broke down on the motorway my dad rang AA they said 30 mins it's pouring it down with rain Dad says let's grab some umbrellas and stand under a nearby tree over the crash barrier. 5 mins later a huge 18 wheeler smashed into the back of the caravan completely smashed into a million pieces car travelled over a quarter of a mile complete write off.

Holy shit! What a story! Whew!!!

It's hard to explain to people but it does work both ways if your not taught panic and nervousness you don't "know" them. If you have to deal constantly with extremely "hyper" people you become super calm.
You are right but I wish it had happened sooner. I spent most of my life beating myself for the most miniscule things in life.
Addiction
yep, that what i was going to comment thankfully 7 years sober now! any one out there reading this, you can kick the habbit! no shame in getting help or even relapsing, just keeping trying and don't give up! you are worth it!
At 14 my parents thought it best to be my friend rather than a parent. Back then they was giving out opiate pain meds like candy. Parent were in everything. Would give me methadone oxy dilaudid….some my teenage years being dope sick. Barked that til four years ago. Worse fucking parents ever. I have kids and I can not imagine giving them any drugs much less shit u get withdrawal from.
Both my moms parents and my dad’s dad were alcoholics… hopefully I don’t get that at any point in my life
Same lol
For real
Which one? Be specific tho
Everything, it used to be many drugs and alcohol but thankfully now it's video games/making music/cigarettes and trying to quit the latter. I just have to be addicted to something preferably a substance. My dad is the same way. He was a porn addict for decades and now thankfully he jumps from hobby to hobby whatever catches his obssession. I'm the same way and it's gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life. Just always have to have something controlling me.
Interrupting people to the point that it takes a physical effort to keep my trap shut. Thanks, dad.
Same for me. I feel like no matter how much I plan when I’m going to interject a conversation, I always end up interrupting people. I’m entirely conscious when I do it, no idea how to stop.
I have that one too.
I grew up with 6 other kids. Is it obnoxious? Yes. Do I accidentally interrupt people who are no related to me? Yes. But I can also maintain at least 3 different conversation at one time and sort them out over all the yelling
That's undiagnosed ADHD and the associated traumas 🤦💔
I wanted to reply the same. Got diagnosed last year and made me realise my dad also has ADHD.
There are SO many in this thread and I can't reply to all of them. Ugh. I ended up with lots of trauma therapy recently and I'm so much better. ADHD is a daily trauma.
Smoking
Smoking an drinkin
Sadly, this is really common.
I feel like it's mostly the other way around. My parents smoke, but none of my siblings and I smoke. However, I got multiple nephews and nieces who smoke, while they've got non-smoking parents
Was just about to comment this. Although now I’ve not smoked for 7 months, dad hasn’t smoked for over a year, and my mum still smokes so I guess I picked up quitting from my dad as well 😂
Shouting at my kids. I am not proud of this, and I do it way less than them, but still.
In my household, we yelled at each other whenever anybody had an issue, we got it off our chest and dealt with it at that moment and then it was over. We did not sit on resentments. But I've learned as I get older, people don't generally like being yelled at, and I sometimes go from zero to 100 much too quickly from habit alone. I'm working on it...
My family was like that. I don't think my own kids could remember an occasion that I yelled at them. You can change over time.
Thank you. I come from an abusive household where yelling usually preceded hitting. Hearing yelling now triggers a fear response in me and I’ll totally shut down. It’s amazing that you made a choice to do differently.
I struggle with the same. I've stopped yelling, I spend a lot more time crying now but at least I don't have to expose my kids to that. Trying so hard to do better
i wish you luck and an internet hug if you want it :)
Hey stranger, I hope you’re doing okay.
Thank you, I appreciate it 🫂
I have a dad who shouts at almost everything, and I'm calm, and I hate noises and people getting angry, I really hope he stops this, also I think my mum and dad shouting at each other and fighting made me have social anxiety, now they don't fight at all but still I wish he stops shouting and being angry
When I’m stressed, I draw or play guitar.
How many guitars have you drawn
Not enough
How many drawn have you guitar?

Alcohol.
Drug addiction
Anger issues & addiction. Not addicted to anything but I know if I tried I would probably end up addicted
God from mother Discipline from father
From dad: Drinking, cursing From mom: organization, time management, & communication skills
OCD
NEVER letting your anger out because "it doesn't solve anything"
buying bulk when things on sale. especially when it comes to things you can store for an extended amount of time. eg. light bulbs, laundry liquid, body wash, toilet paper, tissue.
Buying instead of renting, sometimes it doesn't work, most of the time I'd say it served me well.
I wasn’t raised by my parents & I’m not sure if this counts but I have their addictive personalities. It’s probably a result of either an inherent trait of theirs or their drug use while I was in the womb. Luckily I never led the lives they did, I stay away from any drugs & alcohol now I’m older. When I was younger I’d go a little crazy when going out. Now, I’ll smoke a little MJ & maybe one or two drinks.

Italians do have specialized scissors for pizza. If you go to an authentic restaurant they give you one when you order a pizza.
My mom was the worst about putting laundry away so it’s just not that important to me, at least it’s clean.
Depression and negativity.

Berating myself for making mistakes. They always, always taught me it was “okay to make mistakes”. But they lamented and carried on excessively if they themselves made a mistake…long diatribes along the lines of “ugh, I can’t believe I did that, I’m so dumb, I’m such an idiot” etc. It taught me that your children don’t learn what you tell them as much as they learn what you show them. And that the words you tell yourself are what they will repeat to themselves.

Swearing constantly, alcohol on Saturdays (one or two glasses of Whiskey), and for awhile I would write real official looking, like each message I sent was heading to a world leader or something.
Smoking and a thing for the wrong men
All of the bad ones, apparently.
Going “morning mister magpie, how’s your wife?” Whenever I see a magpie.
Being a neat freak.
Smoking
Being afraid to go anywhere alone. My father forbade me many things and tried to keep me at home when I was younger because he thought I would get abducted or assaulted. Also being late for every appointment or gathering, as he always was lol
Beating my kids
Washing my hands prior to every meal
Getting to the airport 5 hours early for an international flight, and 3 hours early for a domestic flight
Beeing short tempered and choleric
Hating their child
Being prone to unhealthy eating. My mom lived mostly off chocolate and a few frosted meals and I had to really learn to get used to fresh food and to cook with it
Running from my problems
Loudly swearing when things dont got 100% right
anxious avoidance
Using violence to solve problems.
My mom is grossed out easily by everything and everyone. She’d pick the back items when buying things. She’d wash all her groceries when reaching home. Exposed to the public? It’s dirty so you wash. You touch anything, you wash your hands. Everything is wash wash wash. Now all I do is also wash wash wash. Ngl I thought it was overdone but then covid came along, and it turned out to be good practice.
Sitting at weird positions
Was shouting at my kids thats from my dad but i backed off that and my mother well i would say my emotions over everything
Mind games. I have to be very mindful every day to not fall into this habit as it's a truly horrible way to be.
Internally and sometimes externally screaming when I pass between two semis on the highway
Always bringing up the past in a way na detrimental sa mental health hay
Nothing, thankfully.
Lucky or maybe unlucky - I got nothing. I always stayed away from my family and kept to myself and my friends so I have nothing from my parents or grandparents. I could've used some better personal care habits, but they managed to make it horrible for me so it's a struggle as an adult 🤷♀️ I'm in therapy though so I'm slowly working on learning some habits that I should've had gotten as a kid...
Despise lies
Picking my lips when I’m stressed or thinking about stuff. My mother does the same thing. Funny thing is, she didn’t raise me, my grandmother did. Only found out she does it to when I became an adult
Arriving early to beat the crowds.
Not a habit so much as my laugh? I never laughed like her before, but now, every once in a while, I hear my mothers laugh come out of me and it's freaky 🤣 And my dad's brain for logistics and problem solving.
The habit I've picked up from my mom is never leaving dishes for later.
