The Dumbest Things We Keep Doing in Lubbock (And Will Never Stop)

Living in Lubbock means waking up every day and immediately making at least one decision you already know is dumb. Not in a dramatic way. Just quietly. Casually. With confidence.

The RockShow on 94.5 KFMX asked locals to admit something they just can't seem to stop doing for a morning show segment. The answers were gold.

Here's a recap:

A lot of us start by doing the absolute worst thing imaginable: waking up. From there, we roll straight into going to work, sometimes multiple times a day if you count thinking about it, complaining about it, and actually showing up. Several people admitted this is the dumbest thing they do over and over, which feels correct and deeply unifying.

Food decisions don’t fare much better. We eat our packed lunches during our 9 am break instead of waiting for lunch, drink sweet tea despite medical advice, and ask toddlers if they’re hungry, knowing full well they’re about to lie. Then we act shocked when they steal our snack. Every. Single. Time.

We also keep trusting things that have proven untrustworthy. Puppies around litter boxes. Exes who swear they’ve changed. People who give advice. Ourselves when we say, “I’ll put this in a safe place.” That place will never be seen again.

Some of us forgive bad friends too easily. Others waste entire days in front of a computer and call it “being productive.” We keep lifting toilet seats, going to bingo, smoking, and believing sleep is optional, even though it clearly is not.

And yet, tomorrow, we’ll wake up and do it all again. Because in Lubbock, repeating the same dumb choices is NOT just a flaw. Apparently, it’s a lifestyle.
