Pretty mild, though an ex struggled with a standing light for years. It had one of those skinny, turntable hatched poles that you twisted. This one was rather tough to turn to the point that your fingers would slip. I remember looking at her struggling with it one day and asked, “Do you have any rubber bands?”
Same thing. She stopped, stared at me, and got flustered, “I…can’t believe I never thought of that…”.
this guy is just a Master’s candidate, the PhDs need even more help
There’s a german insult about people who take warm showers
they actually sell these recirculating pumps to keep the hot water in the pipes
My previous place heated up very slowly, so I started saving the cold water in a bucket to water my plants because it felt like a waste
I always knew I could let the shower warm up but it seemed wasteful and I found the cold invigorating so I did it that way until about 40. Something shifted and it was unpleasant instead of invigorating. Signs of getting old I guess.
Not getting old as much as deciding that maybe it’s ok to let yourself enjoy things rather than be strict abt them. For me I was changing a lightbulb and decided that I was done standing dangerously on office chairs so I bought a nice collapsible step ladder.
I used to enjoy the invigorating cold when I was younger. Then I stopped enjoying it.
Congrats on the ladder though
Someone on Reddit once said they didn’t realize the white part of your finger nails are where it’s unconnected to your skin, and they’d just clip wherever, and often bleed because they’d clip the skin.
Nah, I almost spit out my coffee
Oh god wtf
Reminds me of the guy that spent his entire life sitting on the toilet with the seat up because he was told “girls use it with the seat down and boys have the seat up”.
It wasn’t until he got comfortable enough with his partner that when she saw him and asked why he wasn’t sitting on the seat did it even occur to him that he could.
These people must not have parents 🤯
Or they have terrible parents.
It wasn’t until he got comfortable enough with his partner that when she saw him
Unless it’s your kink, most people don’t use the toilet in front of their spouse.
Edit: It sounds like a lot of straight people expel waste in front of their partners.
That doesn’t match my personal experience at all.
Using the toilet with each other present has been a thing in every relationship I’ve been in. And no, at no point was that a kink of either one of us.
That’s the exact opposite as my experience.
I am gay and from Canada and I assume you are straight and from Germany?
Maybe it’s a regional thing, or a gay vs straight thing?Canadian here. It’s not regional. My wife and I use the bathroom while the other is present all the time.
I am straight, though, so I can’t comment on that theory.
Same. I know of no couple in my circle where using the toilet in each others presence is anything else but just plain normal. They all do it.
Edited for clarification, because words = hard
so everyone always locks the door? even if one person needs something from the washroom they would always wait till the other person finishes?
Yes, unless it’s something small that the toilet user can slip under the door
Yes.
My kid would never tolerate the indignity of waiting until after I was done shitting to tell me a barely parseable half remembered factoid
I’m an idiot. I meant the exact opposite and have edited the sentence to make it clear.
Every single couple I know uses the toilet in front of each other.
Why?
Why not?
Yes.
My wife and I respect each other’s bathroom privacy because it’s simply something we don’t care to see, although she-like nearly all females I know- doesnt know how a door works and can’t close it. We now live in a place where we have separate bathrooms, and it’s awesome.
That’s because your bath and toilet are in the same room. They should be separate.
I was in your team before having kids. It has been a drastic change I had to adapt to :(

I punched shower sock boy into Duckduckgo and don’t see much. Help?

Mom never heard of college shower flipflops.

Thank you. I figured it was old Reddit lore.
You punched Shower Sock Boy? Hasn’t he been through enough?
I always wash my flip flops in the cold water while waiting for it to warm up. There’s probably something productive that everyone can do with the cold water.
You could save water Short Cold showering is healthy
I also don’t do it :(
This sounds like when that podcast dude realised you shit directly in the toilet and not in your hand first
Based on context clues, I’m inclined to believe that they have characters and he’s more or less the “fall guy” so she can be the “Bully.” It also just sounds like he was going for “toilet paper isn’t an impenetrable shield, and if there’s any smear left before you wipe, you’ve got poo particles on your hands” but pivoted to “this sounds like a really good bit if I can milk it.”
Wat?
Amazing. People are amazing.
My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.
- Open the excel template
- Fill inn the items, and the prices
- Sum all posts USING THE DESKTOP CALCULATOR …
She was completely dumbfounded.
Don’t correct the trainer and reap the benefits, I guess… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Here’s your arm: \
Ah thanks, I was looking for it everywhere!
I wouldn’t equate that to not realising you can let the shower warm up. Not even close.
The programmer in me died when I read #3
The compiler in me died when I read #4
I’m a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.
It was probably cuz you can’t run plagiarism checks on it.
Ocr is a thing, not that hard to get the text back.
Yeah I know that one but in this case it was pretty clear it wasn’t plagiarized.
That bad eh
I’ve seen pdfs with just a photo of a monitor showing an error message.
I’ve had support tickets with screenshots pasted inside a power point presentation
I wouldn’t be surprised someone else wrote it.
Please tell me that you at least showed the student that you can save a word doc as a pdf.
The best thing about Excel is the look of hatred you get when using ctrl+; in front of someone who’s been manually entering the date through their entire career.
Ugh.
At least my Excel efficiency just increased.
As an engineer, I hate the way excel handle dates
It took me several years to realize that Canadians were from Canada. Specifically, I didn’t connect the spoken words. I was fine with the written words.
My version of this was renter’s insurance. I knew about home owners insurance, but somehow I assumed that in the case of an apartment the owner would already have insurance. When my oven caught fire I learned that I’d be responsible for it. I don’t recall too much of the initial rental process as that was years ago, so I don’t know if it were somewhere in the paperwork but I never recalled even being asked about it.
Renters insurance isn’t that expensive and worth having. If you rent and the place burns down, none of your stuff is covered by the landlord’s insurance. Pretty sure you also can get personal liability coverage in case you get sued.
I never bothered with renter’s insurance. I never had very valuable stuff, and certainly nothing I couldn’t afford to replace.
That was probably stupid, but I own now so I guess I got away with it.
Oooh, this one’s even trickier these days because some/rental companies will provide their own rental insurance as part of the lease, and give you no option but to pay for it, citing some obscure law or whatever. The trick though, is that rental insurance doesn’t cover you, the rentee, but you don’t know that unless you wade through the legalese yourself. Then they try to convince you that you don’t need any other renters insurance, because you’re already covered, which is of course a bold faced lie.
An acquaintance was always complaining about how cold the water was when washing dishes. He had never thought to turn on the hot water.
He and his wife were conservative talk show hosts in Indiana, specializing in talking about how stupid liberals are.
