Posted about 1 year ago I found myself in Wal-Mart at 0300 for no real reason ( and I still spent $200.00 go figure). In my area there is not much open at 0300 but Wal-Mart and Waffel House. So, I ask, what do you do on you off nights? |

| Posted about 1 year ago When I'm off work I don't like to even consider going anywhere. I sit at home and enjoy as much privacy as I can muster, I don't want to see anyone, talk to anyone, go anywhere other than the kitchen or the bathroom, and just watch Fox News to check out the progress or the lack there of the election, or watch the History channel. Now once in a great while if I have the extra money along with a little extra time like a three day vacation I will load up the family and take a trip somewhere with them just to have some quality time them. But the majority of the time I just stay home. |

| Posted about 1 year ago It sounds ridiculous, but I always spent a lot of my off nights either woodworking in my outbuilding or playing video games. Of course it always ticks my wife off because I'm not in bed. |

Of course it always ticks my wife off because I'm not in bed. ------------------------------------------- I'm glad I'm not the only one that makes my wife mad like that, she really doesn't get mad anymore, she's come to understand that I can't just lay in bed all night after sleeping all day, but sometimes I do still hear about it. |

| Posted about 1 year ago My husband and I have the same days off, and we might take a drive, or go to the store, The strange thing about us both being on third shift is that between 10:30pm-11:00pm on our nights off we're so tired, we fall asleep. When its time to go back to work on 3rd shift, we are all mixed up again on our sleep. |

| Posted about 1 year ago I play Call Of Duty 4 on my PS3 until my eyeballs start bugging out, then I get out my gilly suit and sneak around my yard scaring the hell out of my neighbors. And a few cats. And rabbits. And myself. Then, before the evil sun pops up, I slink back inside and put my cold feet on my wife, waking her up just a few minutes before her alarm goes off for work. Yeah, she doesn't like that |
