Like putting thee and thou and shouldst and dost in, with no ear for what those forms actually meant? Yes.

Or ignorantly putting "Ye" in front of things. Anybody who does that is a pretentious dickhead tbh.

People who keep score at baseball games.

people who get off the bus leaving empty bottles to roll around on the top floor (and now and then down the stairs to smash)

mark s, Sunday, 16 October 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link

tea, tea drinkers, tea cups and mugs, teaspoons, 'ooh yes i'll have another cup ta', fifty mugs to wash by the end of the day, uncountable teaspoons filling up the sink, bloody teapots, cold soggy teabags, stupid little milk jugs, hours spent squashing teabags against the side of the mug...

the bottles thing is actually maybe not that irrational since someone could get hurt

tea is worse than soylent imo so anything attendant on its preparation or removal is a bit grrrr

here's a doozy: when you completely watch a film on MUBI soup-to-nuts, and the listings tells you you are still "watching" it, brief flare of IA right there

My cat died a month ago; she's buried in the garden. The wife and kid thought it would be nice to have a little grave marker. So I shopped online for something like "pet memorial stone." I chose one, bought it, had it engraved, it was shipped to me, and I put it on top of where I buried the cat. That was a month ago.

I am still seeing web ads every day for pet memorial stones in different sizes and designs.

Dude. I had ONE dead cat. I ALREADY bought the stone. How many dead cats do they think I have, such that they still need to advertise at me?

You need to google stuff you won't mind seeing in your feed.

... or else use DuckDuckGo as your search tool.

I use the forks to first basically rip it up and let a bunch of the heat escape before really going in for the shred.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 October 2016 05:03 (seven years ago) link

yes that is the way. But recipe should allow for cooling in the broth.

> fifty mugs to wash by the end of the day

At work I had one mug, washing it up as I went. At home I have 4 and, yes, all dirty all the time. Maybe the first way is better.

koogs, Monday, 17 October 2016 07:13 (seven years ago) link

People who leave used teabags anywhere other than the bin though, what is the point?

koogs, Monday, 17 October 2016 07:14 (seven years ago) link

You can also tear up chicken while wearing rubber gloves (not to rain on anyone's IA parade)

go get your winebox (Ye Mad Puffin), Monday, 17 October 2016 12:25 (seven years ago) link

Rubber gloves make me irrationally angry. Because how can you take off the second glove without touching whatever it is on the glove you were wearing your glove to protect your hand from?

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 October 2016 13:29 (seven years ago) link

peel from the top, turn inside out as you go and then not touch the fingers. Buy the type you get for medical use?

Stevolende, Monday, 17 October 2016 13:41 (seven years ago) link

Like latex gloves? They don't seem thick enough for bathroom work.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 October 2016 14:03 (seven years ago) link

What kinda dookie-waterfall nightmare do you have going on in there?

Neanderthal, Monday, 17 October 2016 14:07 (seven years ago) link

Just scrubbing toilets is all. Nothing irrational.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 October 2016 14:28 (seven years ago) link

maybe I am a horrible savage but I have never used gloves when scrubbing toilets although I definitely washed the hell out of my hands afterward

mh 😏, Monday, 17 October 2016 14:57 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, I use a toilet brush though. Maybe it would wear gloves if using a sponge or rag or something?

how's life, Monday, 17 October 2016 15:06 (seven years ago) link

I'm cool with using a brush (though apparently you're supposed to throw them out occasionally? Makes sense to me). But wiping down the seat and stuff, with a rag or sponge, I'd prefer gloves. I'm not squeamish, but iIf it (the toilet) needs to be cleaned, I don't want to touch it. And I don't even have any other boys in the house, just my wife and two girls. Parents I know with one or two boys, they might as well not even have a toilet, tell their kids to piss in the corner and be done with it, because that's essentially what they're getting anyway. Man, I know people with boys and cats who do a poor job cleaning up after either and clearly can't smell it anymore themselves. Visiting is like a trip to a zoo, that mix of urine, peanuts and general musk. Yuck. I want to wear gloves up to my shoulder.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 October 2016 15:14 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, sometimes toilet brushes just gotta go. Thanks for reminding me.

I dunno, I usually just spray copious amounts of bleach on the seat and let it sit for a minute before I wipe it up, then wash hands thoroughly afterward.

how's life, Monday, 17 October 2016 15:16 (seven years ago) link

I just dip my hands in bleach and then wipe them off on the toilet.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 October 2016 15:18 (seven years ago) link

can't believe you guys figured out my patented methof

mh 😏, Monday, 17 October 2016 15:45 (seven years ago) link

I misread that first as meatloaf and then meth, both of which would have been funny responses.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 October 2016 15:55 (seven years ago) link

Methloaf

Neanderthal, Monday, 17 October 2016 15:57 (seven years ago) link

Methloaf of Modern Love.

I saw the typo and decided to keep it

mh 😏, Monday, 17 October 2016 16:01 (seven years ago) link

I used to clean school toilets for a living. I had to use gloves then, but I don't bother with my own place. Just make sure you wash your hands thoroughly.

If I chop serranos, wash my hands 20 times, and then try to insert a contact lens, my eye burns like crazy. So I guess I regularly put poop in my eye.

and soap is a scam

veggie sticks potato snacks (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 17 October 2016 17:03 (seven years ago) link

I just make sure to always bully mop-haired kids so when I give them swirlies they do a bit of scrub-a-dub

qualx, Monday, 17 October 2016 17:12 (seven years ago) link

I think the spiciness of peppers is, like oil, not as soluble with normal hand soap. Make sure to use dish soap or something else meant to cut oil to clean after slicing peppers

mh 😏, Monday, 17 October 2016 17:37 (seven years ago) link

High Maintenance had another means of dealing with that. But it relies on having a non squeamish acquaintance.

Stevolende, Monday, 17 October 2016 18:08 (seven years ago) link

How is autocorrect so mind-blowingly stupid?

rip van wanko, Monday, 17 October 2016 21:36 (seven years ago) link

Guys you can wash or use hand sanitizer on rubber gloves. Just saying.

Lawsonomy Domine (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 17 October 2016 21:48 (seven years ago) link

I just burn down the toilet and move house. Saves on bleach, soap, gloves, etc

people who try to nail down your support to help them do something (ie moving) without giving you a date, then when they finally get around to confirming the date at the last minute, get upset that it isn't convenient for you.

like are you supposed to give someone a blank check for an entire month?
