I bought a new pair of shorts for the gym when I normally wear capris. I thought it would feel cooler. Unfortunately every time I got off a piece of equipment my legs would stick to it. I'm sure the skin on the back of my legs has been ripped off.
That's mostly why I've never liked wearing shorts when it's hot. I prefer anything up to capri-length at the most (least?). It just feels cooler and more comfortable to me.

Who uses that much sauce on one taco? No sane person anywhere.
Use up the packets later you may say. To do that we have to ignore the bottles of ketchup and salsa in the fridge. And this happens with everything, jelly, duck sauce, soy sauce, tarter sauce. You name it. Eventually most get thrown out. It's either that or open a sauce packet shop. Ketchup anyone? Regular or spicy?
I may have posted this before, but one time we got 2 or maybe 3 tacos each, and they gave us around 64 packets of hot sauce. I counted them.
And, yes, I used to save them too, but I stopped for the same reason you gave. Also, I'd try to keep track of the new ones, throw out the old ones, then I thought, Why am I wasting time with this?!

The onliest to-go food packet I hanker for is Arby's sauce. Not that vile Horsey sauce which brings the question why is it called HORSEY sauce? But anyway, Arby's sauce is good on many things and they hand them out like it's coming out of their wages. A few years ago they sold their sauces bottled. That was a few years ago. Now you have to go inside and get as many as you can for later. Arby's sauce is great on grilled chicken sandwiches from anywhere, including your own kitchen.
Lol, I'm the opposite. I love the horsey (it's horseradish, by the way, lol), and it's the only one I'd like to keep in the house, but the Arby's sauce reminds me of something a dentist would use, Novocain or something. It just always reminds me of the dentist somehow, lol.
My sanity could surely be brought into question, but tacos, to me, are nothing but vehicles for sauces. Those four packets? They go on top. As I eat through the taco, every two bites is worth a packet.
When I ask for hot sauce, they usually dump two or three in the bag. I've learned to go inside, now, as I can grab as many packets as I desire. If I don't use them on my tacos, they go on my eggs in the morning with some chorizo, peppers and cheese.
Don't judge me.

Ask and ye shall receive - one thousand packets. Seems like if they just put two or three in each bag when you order something, they'd come out ahead but clearly I'm missing something.
Condiments for starters.
But you know what really drives me crazy? NO STRAW. So I started telling the people in the drive through sometimes that I didn't get a straw. They usually say "Yes, I put one in the bag," (and they usually did) but I look anxious and say, "Nope, no straw in here, sorry," and they give me another one, often along with a puzzled look on their face, and then I put the extra one in my console - because nothing, nothing in this world, is worse than going through Sonic on a hot, summer day in Texas when it's 110 degrees outside, getting that big diet cherry limeaid during half price happy hour, and then realizing after you've pulled away that you have no straw.

I had a visit from an older gentleman who was a Jehovah's Witness earlier today. I told him that I hesitated about answering the door because I was braless, thereby kind of forcing him to check out mah tiddies, maaaan. (Not on purpose. I just don't know when to zip it.) He did seem to be slightly taken aback by my candor and faltered in his scripted speech.
In some countries the women don't ever wear bras. Never even heard of bras! Those are my kinds of countries.
This can work in your favor if someone else is in the house. DH has to answer our door ALL the time, because I'm not "fully dressed" in that manner, LOL.
I was too tired to cook last night after work and I normally order a pizza or Chinese on Fridays but wasn't in the mood for either. Nothing in my fridge appealed to me either. I wound up having some microwaveable taquitos for dinner.
Well yes. there was no running water, no shower, only pit toilets and trees, no rangers or camp stewards, pretty much just some cleared spots int he woods by a lake. And it rained like we were camped under a waterfall for several hours one night.
But it was the wifi/cell service that was the real hardship.
My electricity went out yesterday from 6 p.m.-9:30 p.m. I had to have a tuna salad for dinner. I don't particularly care for tuna but it was the only protein I had in the house that didn't require cooking.

I asked about this on the Other Topics questions of the day.
