Entertainingly I'm of an age where I use combinations of metric and imperial.
Weights between about 5 and 25 stone are considered in imperial. Weights under/over that in metric.
Anything above half a mile in imperial, lower than that in metric (apart from height which is obviously imperial). Although things under a metre I may do in either (although accurate measurements will be in mm).
Accurate liquid measuring is in metric. Estimates are in imperial.
The only thing I'm pretty fixed on is celsius (although I can mentally convert for talking to Americans and old people).
Obviously there's always scope for using something stupid like a chain or a hundredweight in conversation.
