Get the Patch kit mentalitymug. When you believe that things that are a dollar or less should be bought in bulk because they are so cheap.
My Mom went out and bought 20 pairs of star shaped sunglasses because "someone would definitely get a dollar worth of fun out of them". She has a dollar store mentality.
My friend Paty used to say "If it's for free, it's for me....but the dollar store is good too."

Get the Dollar store mentalitymug. A legitimately crazy b*tch on the internet; usually a jobless e-girl with expensive tastes. The self-perceived noblest calling of useless “influencers” everywhere.
Used as a self-described label in order for her to justify her internet presence as a “legitimate service” (to whom? Humanity presumably) which really consists of posting a slew of bikini selfies (not that there’s anything wrong with that.. ) regularly interrupted by tearful emotional cries for help, rants against people they feel have slighted them, and “inspirational quotes” of dubious value and provenance.

Get the Big Tree Mentalitymug. A "Beaurocratics Anonymous Mentality" plagues usually dedicated, but susceptible former government employees, sometimes ruining marriages, and yes, even lives!
These folks who, after dismissal of any sort by a government or government contract industry, struggle daily, either alone or with others, to resurrect their former mental status to normal.
As the stalifying beaurocracy that it is, government brainwashes its employees to spend the most time and the most money on any project assigned to them with overwhelming preliminary hogwash such as diagrams, blue prints, and specifications in order to complete the most simple, or preliminary tasks. They can also incur much overhead in "down time" due to repetition after poor success in one area or another.
Any simple government regulated chore can be deterred by pages of grandiloquent specifications and regulations, or of just plain old BS.
When dedicated employees return to the real world, they have great difficulties adjusting in order to complete ordinary tasks easily, inexpensively and finally, successfully.
They frequently convene in small groups of two or more at Malls, churches and other social settings to converse and exchange methods of removing this mindset in hopes of pursuing an ordinary life, uninhibited by these beaurocratic brainwashing constraints.

A"Beaurocratics Anonymous Mentality"verbal exchange with an old co-worker made me late for lunch.
There I stood, in the hot sun, drawing a diagram for a blueprint to dig ONE post hole. This is MY OWN MONEY I'm blowing here!
Jeeze, I'm going bonkers, AND bankrupt if I can't relieve myself of this "Beaurocratics Anonymous Mentality".
Oh, and thanks, I feel MUCH better now!
