Society & Culture Things you do/did that you probably think no one else does

Spoon, fork, knife, sharp knives.

And of course, the third drawer down is full of miscellaneous items.

I've been doing a bit of a (early) spring clean recently. Kitchen drawer no3. and no.4- completely empty.

 

[Pistol Night]

yeah the third draw is always an absolute disgrace, don't think ive ever seen an organised one

My missus is a draw Nazi and I’m not allowed to unpack the dishwasher in case disaster strikes and I place a dessert spoon in the soup spoon area. Pretty sure the 3rd draw down has a steamer and associated parts and a jaffle maker but I’m too scared to check

I'm generally happy to drink either cold or hot coffee, doesn't really bother me. Sometimes I'll make a coffee the night before and leave it in the fridge, saves time having to make one in the morning.

I drink iced lattes every morning of the year, including right now in the middle of Winter. I think they taste better than a hot coffee, even though I just put ice cubes in there!

All good points, so the paradox is ...why the * do they do it?
I'm genuinely curious.

"Dressed" beds and couches generally tend to look better and softer (they do it in home magazines etc).

There is an aesthetic appeal to it but i agree its wildly impractical.

I like the challenge of getting that third drawer open on the first go

My 1st divorce was based around my dish return

I don't even have a cutlery divider. I just chuck that shit in there and hope for the best when it's time to get some out.

the one we always giggle about is pillow cases, my wife puts four pillowcases on our pillows, we have 3 pillows each, she hates sweat and germs and figures this protects the pillow better. I give her so much crap when we hang the washing and put the sheets back on because it takes ages to put all those ******* covers on. it shits me but if it makes her feel better then who am i to say anything other than a giggle when putting the bed back together.

What if you felt so strongly the opposite way? Feels like sometimes people are always sacrificing for the other when eventually that may frustrate you later on in the relationship.

Mike Whitney - didn't he bowl right handed and bat left handed or something weird like that?

Not THAT uncommon, the other way (left bat, right bowl) is seen more, but Michael Clarke, Vinoo Mankad, Frank Worrell, Inzamam ul-Haq, Trent Boult, Nathan Bracken and Zaheer Khan are just a few Whitneys.

I wrote about this previously somewhere on this board - where I think it gets interesting is when you consider that bat right/bowl left and bat left/bowl right are both fairly common in cricket, finding a Whitney in baseball is as rare as rocking horse poop. That's because there isn't really a discernible advantage in cricket, besides it being handy to have a mix of right and left bats and maybe a left arm specialist bowler, but it does present clear advantages in baseball. Left hand bats are naturally closer to first base, but left arm throwers can't field in most of the infield positions because you have to turn to throw to first base.

When it’s dark in inclement where visibility is less than ideal…. In situations where a wave of thanks is required in traffic events….always keep the hand up from the time the wave is intimated till the time when passed the recipient. Just in case they don’t see the generic flick of hand wave.

I’m one case I stuck my hand out the window to ensure my thanks was received. Mate one day the receiver also sticks his or her hand out the window and we can high five

 

[Shell]

The thank you wave can go to hell. I still give them but very unenthusiastically + no smile.


Don't get them anywhere near often enough so have lost the love for them tbh.

Yep you're one of the good campaigners!

This morning I woke up at 5, no gym and nothing to do so I've been cleaning up under the house, first time I've done it since the start of COVID.

And when i wanna piss her off

Nah. Do the farmer driving a tractor version. Just raise one finger off the steering wheel.

I put an onion in my sons lunchbox today for comedy reasons, he showed the whole class and now the kids and teacher think I’m a dickhead it seems

Kids don't understand onion-based comedy. Needs to be about farts and cats and peeing on fences.

Probably too many layers in my joke for them to appreciate

We have a Whitney at my work

So naturally the in joke is to work Whitney Houston song titles (and lyrics) into conversations with her
