Having to choose whether to go home or go to a club at 11 as the pubs all closed, then the decision being made for you as one of the group was wearing jeans or trainers.
Filling up your car with fuel. Smashing back loads of pints.
Without thinking about how much it might cost.
And maybe even combining the two, smashing back loads of pints and driving home in your car you filled up and not worrying too much about breathalyser tests.
Sitting in the back of the car while one parent was driving and another looked at a paper map
My mum still uses maps. Despite having a mobile, and a sat nav sitting unused in the glove box.
And misses the turning without fail to end up about 10 miles away and turning back.
Me: “I don’t know how to get there, it’s alright I’ll use maps on my iPhone.”
Dad/Uncle/father-in-law: “Naaahhhh you don’t need all that, you know the mini roundabout off the A road? Take the second left after that, then at the pub that ain’t there anymore, turn right, then it’s about half a mile on from there you can’t miss it, big building on the corner.”
Waiting for the telly to warm up before you got a picture, then moving the aerial around the room to get a decent signal. And, when the set was playing up, thumping the top which always seemed to fix it.

Oh and mum washing up the empty bottles to leave out overnight to be collected.

fucking about randomly with a graphic equaliser that seemed to make no difference to the sound.
