An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Huge Costco trip (self.dull_mens_club)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by AA5B to c/dull_mens_club
 

I haven’t been in about three months so I started running out of stuff. It almost got exciting, going while hungry and without a Christmas list. I should not have done that

And still no effing tissue boxes

Careful, that almost sounds not boring.

Had a Costco membership a few years ago and dragged the wife there. She was skeptical and it was hard to convince her to go very often. Let the membership lapse.

Decided to renew it on a whim this year. I dragged her back there a few weeks ago. She found some sports attire and other deals that really got her excited. Now we’ve been three weekends in a row and it seems she is now convinced.

I used to live near a Sam's club, and I now live near a costco. When I got here I avoided costco because I assumed it would be comparable to Sams (ie extremely low quality products). Last month my roommate bought a membership and now we've been three weekends in a row as well and I am seeing the error in my ways.

Going to Costco while hungry is perfect because of the food court

Need to hit the food court before you shop though.

Ah yes, the quick run to Costco to grab some tissue boxes that ends up with a $200 cart and no tissue boxes.
