I picked up the wrong size drywall at the store, it wasn't a big deal since
I was just trying to get a remnant so I could patch holes in my wall. It
was like 2 bucks for a 3/4 ***.

But anyway I happened to get 3/8" drywall. What size is typically used
where? My bedrooms are 1/2" drywall, my basement looks to be 5/8", as
does my garage. So where would 3/8" typically be used?

3/8" might be used where the wall needs to be curved, or some other area
that is decorative and doesn't need strength. But since it can't be "lined
up" with other width drywall, it's usually not worth it if the only reason
is to save money or weight.
