During the cold season, I will give all metal door knobs and door handles a little whack first with my hand before grabbing. I hate the static shock that may or may not be waiting and the whack absorbs it in a way I can anticipate it.
I thought this would be more common but I don't really see anyone else doing it.
So a few reasons:
Hawaii has a non-mainland, dont-look-like-you're-trying-too-hard kind of vibe. Business people don't wear full suits downtown. You're not even supposed to show up at the interview in a suit or you'll look off. Unfortunately this crosses over into motorcycle safety. So if you ride all geared up, you'll look like you're...not from Hawaii.
Island infrastructure is also pretty delicate. Traffic can be frequently gridlock and unpredictable. There's been a few cases where a traffic incident shut the entire island down for most of the day. Add that it's hot most of the year and you get tank top riders.
Most island residents, probably most of the ones you see riding, don't have high incomes and Hawaii is one of the most expensive states to live in. Gear is expensive. And they got that bike from their cousin.

I've never heard of this witchcraft. This is exactly what I need.
Edit: heard not beard
YES. I leave anything deep fried to the pros and their kitchens for cleanup.
Found the same results from eating out! A lot of times I'll just have the small leftover portion from lunch for my dinner.
This is for all my floss-averse people out there: put floss plackers in your car. I floss way more this way than in front of my sink. Yes, not optimal dental hygiene but there's just something that just clicks in my head and makes me want to do it when driving around vs literally any other time.
