I rubbed a wool sweater against the couch in the middle of winter.

Put sunglasses in front of my phone's camera lens :p
Purchased a soft drink from a fast food restaurant. I have a few friends that, in their minds, it is never justified to buy a drink from a fast food place if you're doing takeout because "you have drinks at home, they charge $3 for something that costs them $0.11 to make, etc."
It's become somewhat of a debate amongst our group of friends: I argue they have flavors I may not have at home, it can be a treat, and it helps keep restaurants in business since drinks are where they make their money. I'm told it doesn't matter, the upcharge is too much to justify.
I've boiled my view on it to "There is a fine line between frugal and cheap." But never thought the purchase of a soft drink would be so polarizing amongst people in my life, hahaha.
There's also an ongoing moratorium on the board game Life simply because we cannot agree if it's legal for one player to take out all of the bank's loans on their first turn. It's not explicitly stated in the rules you can't, but many of us feel it defeats the spirit of the game.
Heh, well I can make it worse, prepare to be judged!
Soda is for suckers. It's just extremely overpriced sugar water and it's basically a direct route to diabetes town. Also enjoy all the extra dental work you'll require.
Weirdly, I'm not against alcohol. While drinking a lot isn't a great idea either, I do understand the appeal of alcohol. I still try not to buy it in bars or restaurants though, the 5x mark up has always felt unreasonable.
“Zard sucks”
I'd downvote you if this wasn't about polarizing things. Squirtle Squad for life!

Igor, adjust the lens!
