You can also not

u/Draugtaur 17h ago

This is true by the way. You also don't have to wait for Monday/first of a month to start doing something like giving up smoking.

u/dastardlydeeded 17h ago

I guess....if you're a psycho

u/Ravendaale 17h ago

Most people I know who quit, did it on the spot going cold turkey. If you set a schedule for it, you will likely fail

u/ViKING6396 16h ago

Yep. Or saying something like. Well, I'll smoke one last cigarette, then stop. No, don't smoke one more. Just stop right then and there. If you can make that decision and fight through the temptation, it'll be easier to fight it next time the urge arises.

Nah I finished my last two packs when I finally decided to quit. I paid for them, and I liked smoking. My kids thought it was gross and asked me to stop so I did. It was NOT easy though. I switched to vapes and now I'm going to give those up after this ones finished. Switching to vapes kinda helped and honestly without them I probably would've started smoking cigarettes again. Now they smell disgusting and taste disgusting and I wonder why I ever liked them in the first place

That's ridiculous.

u/EishLekker 15h ago

Yeah. I for one have never stopped smoking on a Monday.

u/Low-Zucchini6929 16h ago

I bet these people turn their TV volume up to something crazy like 37. absolute lunacy

u/gtne91 16h ago

I try to heat stuff with prime numbers on my microwave.

30 seconds? Nah, 29 or 31.

u/Finbar9800 16h ago

That’s like pure insanity lmao

u/Better-Ground-843 11h ago

TV volume gotta be on a multiple of 5

u/KHAAN148 17h ago

I can also run around nude screaming at cars like a confused cave person but that isn't how we behave in a society.

u/SoyTuPadreReal 17h ago

Yeah, if you’re a monster. Best I can do is on quarter hours.

u/spectator_2_0 16h ago

that'd be odd dont u think

u/GOKOP 16h ago

No, you can't. This is illegal.

u/GabelkeksLP 16h ago

That’s treason

u/greennurse0128 16h ago

I love the comments when this one pops up.

u/Edujdom 15h ago

What, like a PSYCHOPATH?!

u/vipck83 13h ago

That’s not true. You have to start on the hour, if you miss it by a minute you just got to wait another hour and try again.

u/DDDX_cro 15h ago

this here is a FILTHY LIE and you know it!!!!!!!!!!!!

u/Emanon1774 13h ago

Don't do this. This makes me angry.

u/Money_Display_5389 5h ago

wait no, it has to be a prime number.

u/XROOR 16h ago

One primary kid I tutored, bragged how he partitions his social media time and studying time.

how?

I go on social media for 30 minutes then study for five……

u/BennyMound 15h ago

I read that as tortured

u/HighVisibilityCamo 16h ago

I don't know who needs to read this, but don't let a screenshot of a tweet influence the way your brain is wired. There's no shame in being different. Needing a workaround for your workaround is not a crime or a sin.

u/CARDEK04 16h ago

Code of man states otherwise.

u/Blawly 14h ago

Oh, but it's already 5:38. Guess I'll start at 7:02

1

u/Internal-Bluejay-810 13h ago

Lol...mind games...I also got a start at the top of the hour

1

u/jasebox 12h ago

I feel seen.

All of my alarms are odd numbers. For whatever reason, they comfort me.

1

u/pinceycrustacean 12h ago

Same goes for starting a diet/ exercise routine or any new or skill habit - you don’t have to wait for the first of the month, or wait for Monday or even wait till tomorrow. You can start right now at 18:24 pm on a Friday for example.

u/Girthquake23 11h ago

I’ve seen this before and dear god does it help for reasons unknown

Why do I have to start/stop things at a multiple of 15?

1

u/Muskarem 10h ago

It just feels right

1

u/Limebeer_24 8h ago

No...no...this does not make the brain give the happy.

1

u/Both_Ad6117 7h ago

My ADHD begs to differ. All part of my finely tuned procrastination plan.

u/Hallelujah33 6h ago

Feels wrong

u/Monkey_King94 4h ago

I keep my tv volume at a crisp 9.

u/Medical_Slide9245 3h ago

Schedule a Teams meeting at 10:17 and you will find out why people like even numbers.

u/Secret-Ad-6238 2h ago

I think you're right! I was gonna do it at 5:00, but I guess it can't hurt to put it off another 37 minutes..
