EVERYDAY EXTREME SPORTS _ What’s an everyday extreme sport you participate in? What the internet said:
• My favorite extreme sport is trying to carry all the groceries inside in one trip so I don’t have to go back to the car.
• Convincing myself i don’t need a basket in the store and trying to carry everything in my arms.
• Taking a gamble on if the leftovers have gone bad yet.
• Washing the dog with the intent of both of us coming away from it with both our dignities intact and no hard feelings shared. It has yet to happen.
• Unwinding the garden hose only two loops and spraying at a high angle to hit those flower pots with an arc of water rather that spraying directly, so I don’t have to unwind and rewind more than that, nor take any unnecessary steps.
• Before I installed our dishwasher it was seeing how tall we could stack dishes in the drying rack on the counter before it collapsed and broke said dishes
• Putting on my socks while standing.
