inTried setting a $200 spending limit with my sister for Christmas gifts and she showed up with a $500 bracelet anyway
OH WOW, classic case of "but I THOUGHT you meant something different" right? I swear some people could agree to a hard limit in WRITING and still pretend they didn't hear it when it's convenient. It's like they think boundaries are just suggestions that don't apply to them if they ignore them long enough. But honestly, I feel like both sides probably messed up here. If you just mentioned it once casually, that's not really an agreement, that's more like a heads up. But if she nodded and said "okay" and then did the exact opposite, that's a whole different level of frustrating. At the end of the day, if someone keeps pushing past what you said, you gotta decide if it's worth the fight or if you just let them figure it out the hard way. Some people only learn when reality hits them in the face.

inTIL my bullet journal tracked a whole relationship I didn't notice
See @garcia.casey I actually think tracking is kind of useful even if you mess it up at first, lol. It forces you to notice patterns even when you mislabel stuff, like your soda/water mixup still taught you something about your habits. So maybe bullet journals aren't bad, they just need better editing than we give them credit for.

TIL the average fast food drive-thru takes 4 minutes per car
Question whether those numbers even matter when half the cars have to pull forward and wait anyway. Four minutes sounds like a pipe dream if you've ever watched someone try to order a customized coffee drink through a speaker box that sounds like it's underwater. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like every drive-thru near me hits a wall the second someone pulls out a credit card and starts fishing for rewards points. These benchmarks probably come from test runs with perfect customers and zero actual humanity involved.
