When using a public restroom (which is very rare anyways - yuck!), I always rip off the first layer of TP. You never know if the person before you had their feces hands all over it!
WOW ! Thanks for that image ! I saved it for future reference ! - - - Updated - - - Wowsers ! I thought I was the only one that did that ! - - - Updated - - - Yes, they do, it is moar civilised to wash, rather than wad. Akin to the 3 sea shells, moar hygienic.
Seems like the water from a bidet would just make the germs, bacteria, and fecal matter run all over the user’s butt and down their legs. That would spread the filth, rather than cleaning things up. How would that be hygienic? Below, I’ve placed a link to a study that shows men’s beards to be as filthy as dirty toilets. So, instead of worrying about their dirty butts, maybe bearded men should turn around and stick their face into the bidet after they take a crap. Lol.... Now, this kind of filth might be something worth being petty about. www.medicaldaily.com/your-hipster-beard-may-have-more-fecal-matter-dirty-toilet-it-really-unhygienic-332002
Anyone who holds their fork in their right hand ought to be killed. Not to mention people who wear their watch on their right wrist(!!!)
No they really are not. They are intended to keep people from blocking up the entrance to stores so other customers cannot get in and out. The only benefit to them is that they possible keep people from getting hit. They are about traffic control, not fires. Fire regulations is just how they force it upon businesses since they do not otherwise have the legal authority to regulate traffic on private property.
So firetrucks don't need access if there's a fire. Okie dokie. Preventing people from blocking traffic would include fire engines. So what would happen if there's a fire and the entrance was blocked? How does a fire lane NOT make sense, if there's a fire?
Fire trucks have long hoses. Fire trucks can park very far away and still reach a fire. They don't put out brush fires because there is a fire lane nearby. You will note that there is very seldom a fire lane on the rear of buildings where there is no public entrance and that is where you are most likely to get a fire.
Do you think that, when seconds count, having to weave through obstacles could be a matter of life and death?
Did you note that the fireman weren't weaving through obstacles when they were attacking that fire? Have you ever noticed that fire trucks don't generally park right up next to burning buildings either? Kind of hard to put out a fire when a flaming wall collapses onto your rig.
No, common sense tells you that more space for emergency vehicles means quicker access to medical facilities. But YOU believe what you want to believe. It's got you this far...
This one has been bugging me for a while: people say "reticent" (inclined to be silent or uncommunicative) when they mean "reluctant" (hesitant, showing unwillingness). Unfortunately, it has been misused so long that I notice that "reluctant" is now the third definition of "reticent" in the Merriam online dictionary.
I also taught for a short spell - English as a second language to kids who were already fluent in at least two other languages. Eventually their foreign constructions began to sound normal. I was a good speller until I had to write on the board and then I suffered amnesia. I do have a technical problem: my keyboard is sticky, and sometimes the letters go off on their ownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Being as I am a btk amputee...I can get really mad and sarcastic when a perfectly healthy person parks in a handicapped parking spot. Some states give out handicapped placards for being obese....these are the people that need to walk.
i got in a lot of trouble elsewhere on the forum for saying Americans are fat because they eat too much and don't exercise. Anyway, you're right -- parking in a spot reserved for you guys is reprehensible.
I got the same treatment at another forum because I started a thread about a plus size model who actually said that girls who are overweight should just be happy in their bodies and not to listen to their doctors who tell them that they should go on a diet or whatever. All kinds of things, "I have a fat friend and she is really nice . . . blah, blah, blah." I was like, well I'm sorry for your fat friend, but this thread is not about your fat friend, so relax.
"I have a fat friend"? + "I'm sorry for your fat friend"? That was a fatapalooza of an exchange. I thought everyone said "heavy" these days.
That is the part of my post that you chose to focus on? I've never been known to be politically correct.
The point being, I started a thread that had meaning and has to do with a big problem that we face as a nation, which is obesity, and how some try to make this epidemic acceptable all because of their own issues with their body images BECAUSE they are overweight, all the while encouraging young girls to "feel comfortable" in their fat bodies and not try to lose any weight. The woman who was the topic of my thread is a VERY bad role model.
