Does anyone else find yourself playing with tools/fishing equipment when in a hardware/sporting store?
By adminI don’t know why I always do this, but I can even remember when I was a kid I always like played with the tools, like screws and nuts/bolts/hammers whenever I was in a hardware store like Home Depot. And now I am 22 and luckily I look young for my age because I even still can’t help but “play with” things whenever I am in a hardware store or something. I am in Maryland, where everyone is required to take driver’s ed (and it costs like $300 which I can’t afford now, and also I can’t do it now because I am in college), so I am still unable to drive. But like when I am off campus I ride with my dad, and sometimes he goes to a hardware store or a fishing department (he likes fishing), and I just find myself looking at things and rediculously intrigued with them. Like there was an air bed with a picture of the bed set up and someone going fishing in a little lake, and I just though “I wonder where that lake is” or “what if that was me?”
I also noticed some artificial lures with a picture of a fish on them, and I just thought “I wonder if anyone else would even notice/care about that picture of a fish”, and I even kind of felt shame knowing that the picture was there and people would probably not even notice it. There were also some of those little dumbells in that department, and I felt compelled to roll one of them across a shelf and see how far it would roll. And when we happen to go to Wal Mart I find it humorous to go in/out through that little cart door. Why do I think this way/do these things (even despite being 22)? Does anyone else do it? Any single guys? Lol.

Yes! Don’t be ashamed of noticing things. Be proud that you’re not another thoughtless drone that doesn’t even seem to realize that they’re alive!!
As for playing with stuff, sure. Different stuff for me though. I’d rather take stuff apart or tinker with it, which pretty much means I either have to already own it, buy it, or dig it out of somebody’s reject pile. Trash and reject piles are the best because if I get it to work, it becomes a “new” free thing, and even if I don’t, I can learn about it, and maybe fix something else later because of that.
