Things that aren't significant that you have strong views about?

Spiders and all bugs belong OUTSIDE. Inside they're fair game.
There's no way I was going to let all the tiny baby spiders that hatched in my bathroom fan vent take over my house. I sprayed so much bug killer that anything that enters the bathroom is still dying months later.

Totally. And that reminds me of a funny anecdote. One of our customers had a wasp nest form under her back deck and they were flying into the house when the door opened. She called our Warranty department (we built the house) in a high state of agitation desperate for us to do something to "persuade" them to relocate without killing them. (She and her family were Buddhists.) No offense intended but we all found that hilarious.

Your house is the unnatural thing that doesn't belong, not the spiders. They existed before we built houses. They exist in the world whether your house does or not - your house is what trespasses the spiders' territory, not the other way around. It also isn't their fault that big dumb apes built structures that they can get into (and that is usually beneficial for them to do so, being dry and mostly free of predators), then decided they don't belong there.

Plus, speaking from experience having had many mama spiders in my house, they don't "take over" - they find their way outside. Unless your house offers an abundance of their food source (bugs) inside, they have to go outside. They go out the same way mama came in, and they do it fast because they starve to death otherwise.

Imagine if we killed anything we wanted just because we were afraid of it or just thought it was icky - oh, some people do..........

Dinning.

OOO. That reminds me. I forgot to make my ressies for breakie. I guess now I'll have to bring a can of creamed corn.

Nope, not living with 100 spiders in my bathroom. They already had the opportunity to go outside (the fan vent leads outside), but chose to come inside. It was a horror show.

The proper response to being thanked for something is "you're welcome" NOT "no problem".

Well no Pennsylvania for you then, well at least the NE part, because you will get a Mmm hmm.

And stay out of the Carolinas because you might just get a Uh huh.

You're welcome.

The correct way to make carbonara.

How do you make carbonara?

 

[MillauFr]

That Tiki Maynard is the 2nd best cast member at a Disney Park. My daughter of course is #1.

 

[Moliphino]

How do you make carbonara?

Eggs (mostly yolks), Pecorino Romano, pancetta (really should be guanciale, but I don't know where to get that around me). Salt and pepper to taste. No cream, no onion/garlic/mushrooms, no chicken, and none of the other weird stuff I've seen put in it in recipes online.

IDIOTS who "reply all" on emails especially when your organization has over 500 members!!! This especially applies when someone has a baby or gets married. People should reply their congratulations to the person involved in a private email or heaven forbid send a card. It only obscures the important emails and pushes them to an other page.

Another is leaving dirty dishes in the sink when the dishwasher is literally right next to the sink. One only need partially bend at the waist to put the the dish or pan in but in this day of going to the gym on a regular basis it begs the question, " How is this slight bend at the waist too difficult when you can spend hours on the treadmill or the other workout machines?"

People who let kids over age of four sit in a shopping cart. I see kids 12 yrs old and older ( we are talking about perfectly fit mobile kids and lots of them ) sitting in the basket of the cart especially in places like Costco( the carts are big for club size product not regular size kids). What the heck, no wonder they cannot bend at the waist to put a dish in the dishwasher. If in the next hundred years the human race's legs atrophy and fall off this is a contributing factor!!

People who order a diet Coke( I use this as a generic term) along with the HUMUNGO meal at the fast food restaurants. Who are you kidding people do you think that extra shot of artificial sweetener is going to stimulate your thyroid and cause you to negate the 3000 calories in the meal? Not to mention the negative effects of these chemicals on your body are far more harmful than the sugar in the regular.

The worst in when you have people Replying All to tell everyone to stop Replying All

OMG yes! What the heck how do they not SEE what it does to the email ? Also, I do not CARE how you feel about anything. I always say what if EVERYONE replied ALL on EVERYTHING we are looking at pages of garbage and insincere congratulations one trying to out do the other!!!

We were partying and having a good time. I'm sitting on the couch, friend to my right. Girl sitting on the chair to my left. I have a tall glass of Whiskey and Coke that I just filled. It was later in the night, not exactly sober in any shape or form.

Now what should have happened was my buddy should have brushed my shoulder and said, "Dude, there was a spider on you."

Instead, I hear "Don't move!" and I turn my head to see him coming at me with his fingers ready to flick the spider I now see on my shoulder.

The next moment I find myself standing in the middle of the room, I'm out of breath, and where the heck is my shirt? I look at Jen and she is dripping with Whiskey and Coke and I'm holding an empty glass.

When I was very young, I remember out in the yard seeing a large hairy wolf spider on my shoulder. I think that is where my irrational fear of spiders came from.

I have no idea what that even means.

This is pretty high on the list, up in the hundreds. Reason 568.

At work we had a quarterly meeting at the firehall for management to give a "state of the business" update to the employees. Guy I worked with in Quality was diabetic. He says he needs to run up to another town to the boot store to get new work boots and figured he'd ask if I wanted to go. We could grab Eat n Park breakfast buffet while we were up there.

So, he comes back with a heaping plate of pancakes, eggs, biscuits, bacon, sausage, etc. Heaping! He sits down and says, "You think she'll say anything if I ask for sugar free syrup?" Ha, you'd better not! He then opened his pill bottle, "Yeah, I brought a couple extra just for this."

People should embrace not having opinions about stuff. Have the courage to say "I don't know" or "I don't care".

 

[mjkacmom]

Another word pet peeve, Horrified and Mortified can’t be used interchangeably.

Toilet paper should go under instead of over

I prefer it over. This allows you to grab some paper with minimal risk of touching the wall and spreading germs. Unless your TP holder is setup so that you can hang under with suitable distance from said wall. Section 39 of the Toiletries Code is the standard that I go by.

The proper response to being thanked for something is "you're welcome" NOT "no problem".

Or "My pleasure", as another good response.

Let's hope those spelling deviants learn to punctuate as well.

Ahem!

Cheese is a savory food. It should never be mixed with sugar.
