I use an imperial tape measure... never owned a metric one in my life. I measure for any work (wood or otherwise) in feet, inches, and halves, quarters, eighths, or 16ths. I buy 2x4x8's, plywood an panelling in 4x8 sheets, insulation in 16" bats. My drill is a 1/2" drill, my drill bits are imperial.
My socket set does contain both imperial and metric.
My height is 6'1", I weigh 210 lb. I don't know anybody who thinks in metric for that.
My meat comes in pounds when advertised but in metric on the package.
Half an inch of rain is a lot; 10 mm, who knows?
I still think in terms of 26er and forty-ouncer for my liquor, though it says 750 mL and 1.14 L on the labels.
My TV is a 40 inch, my computer monitor is a 23 inch.
I still think in miles for travel; love to travel in the USA where they still do it right. When I want to figure out my gas mileage I convert to miles per imperial gallon.
My car runs on 15" rims. Tires inflated to 32 psi.
My last two deer were shot at 90 yards and 110 yards.
For some things I think in metric 'cause I'm forced to.
Between imperial and metric we've got a really bastardized system. It would have been simpler to stick with imperial.
