Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

    My ability to correctly and perfectly parallel park nearly 95% of the time is one of the skills I’m oddly the most proud of.

      Same 👊

      One time I was trying to find a parking spot in Ballard, a neighborhood in Seattle. It was Friday and only one spot was available. Just enough to barely fit and traffic was in full force. I thought it was close but I was confident. When we got out, a group at the bar gave me a round of applause letting me know that multiple people had tried and failed to park there and it had become a fun joke for everyone until I swooped in like a pro and didn’t even make it look difficult.

      Haha parallel parking is just a natural skill for some of us!

        I was taught by someone who really understood that it really is just geometry and as long as your first position is correct and you turn to the right angles, it’s simple. The only time I really screw up is if there’s someone behind me or in front of me keeping me from setting up properly.

          Something that helps me that I think a lot of people overlook is that you simply need to steer the front in order to point the back wheels where you want to go because they always track in a straight line. The front can easily shift left and right with small movements if the front of your car is in the wrong position, but there’s no way to shift the back wheels side to side without starting over completely.
