Then at the end they come out of the bathroom with their dirty used underwear in a bag, why?

And just the whole nastiness that people apparently don't know how to properly wipe themselves, and their underwear is only there to keep body fluids from getting onto their clothes. Its just gross.

Why can't we go back to the days where Charmin was about being squeezable soft? Why do I have to hear about other people's wiping issues while trying to enjoy a nice evening at home?
I had to watch a "I Heart Lax" commercial (about laxatives) last night because I didn't want to get up and walk out of the room, and my husband had the remote (across the room) and I was already sitting facing the TV and I just couldn't get away from it.

I noticed that instead of a brown turd, they used an illustration of a purple turd moving through someone's large intestine.

Honestly. That's almost as bad as the old maxi pad commercials showing someone pouring BLUE liquid on a pad to showcase how absorbent it is.

What if someone is color blind? Won't all this just look too realistic for words?

Shock and awe.

Oh GAG! I haven't seen that yet.

that has ruined my morning on more than one occasion.....

My dishwasher was full so I started it. Then I made some cream of wheat and realized I was going to have to hand wash the pot. I am not even sure how to proceed.
Leave it in the sink until you unload and reload the dishwasher....

I want to know when they are going to invent a self-loading dishwasher? After every meal I have to rinse the plate, silverware, and glass and put them in the dishwasher, BY HAND. It takes at least a couple of minutes!!

The free lunch at work today was not to my taste. Now I have to go out, pay money and wait in line to get my own food.

You think that's bad?

Yesterday my husband and I went out for Tex Mex food. I brought home half my burrito and my rice. Today my husband ate that - and I had to eat a chicken salad sandwich for lunch instead.

WHAT THE HECK.

Ugh! That is so wrong. You had to have a cold sandwich instead of a hit burrito!

Why do they make it so hard to buy cat food? Seems like hundreds of choices and they wont even let me bring the cat into the store so he can choose.

I rented (via streaming) Miami Vice, since I was surprised I hadn't yet seen it. I forgot I tried to watch it when it came on TV and found it to be really dull. It is still boring. Now I can't get my time back.

I know what you mean. My husband and I watched a movie last night and it was full of commercials. About half way through, I said, "You know, this movie is probably on Netflix or Amazon - without the commercials."

But then we would have had to change the input method, done a search, maybe even paid $1.99 for it or something like that - and honestly, all that was just overwhelming. So we just watched the commercials.

And in the end, the movie wasn't even really that good, so we wasted all kinds of time that we'll never get back. Grrrr.
