To bring it back to the thread, I think my new job is pretty bachelor; I watch TV all day, although it's just horse races. I'm sorry, having a job isn't bachelor tho, so I'm in a paradoxical existence; I was unemployed for five months.

I worked at a race track (Northlands) for 4 years and came to know quite a bit about the sport. To stay on topic, I found a brilliant lifehack (that I may have posted before) regarding bachelor cooking. Want to make mashed potatoes but have no masher? Run an empty beer bottle under hot water for a minute and then go to town on the taters. Beer. It's not just for drinking anymore.

I work for a telecom company that manages tracks broadcast; I know your track. It's pretty great. There aren't any clock watchers, dress codes, or dumb firewall rules. I get a full hour for lunch which is a first to me. I'm not interested at all in horses, but it's not terrible to watch, if just to hear the ridiculous horse names.

JEEVES420 posted:Growing up microwaving bacon was all we did. put paper towel on plate, put bacon on paper towel, cover bacon with paper towel, and microwave for a few minutes. No need to deal with grease splatter on stove or cleaning a pan. I'm sorry, but this is my way of cooking bacon. I loving love microwaved bacon. It's all chewy and delicious. I know it's wrong and the whole world likes crispy bacon from a pan, but not me! 1 piece of bacon = 1 bite and 20 seconds of chewing.

And a little boy on his first train ride with his hot dad, but they got off at the first stop so I didn't get too much flirting/screaming child. Kid kept making train noises and generally being adorable. A lot of gross hippies, and they kept having to make announcements that you had to be wearing shoes to walk between cabins. Dr. MonkeyThunder posted:How much was the gas for the trip there? I'm thinking more than $81. No idea, I was driving with my mom on the way there. Even if it isn't, the fact that I didn't have to drive and can move around between cars makes it worth it. It dropped me off in the middle of south central Nebraska an hour and a half late, but it wasn't all that bad. Except for that part where I went to use a bathroom and opened an unlocked bathroom door to find an obese man taking a poo poo.  The doors have locks for a reason!  I got to look out the window and see this while I got drunk in the lounge car with strangers.

So I'm about to become a bachelor after 12 years of living with parents/military dorms/marriage as an adult. Any tips for becoming a 30 year old bachelor?

After that, work out what you need to do to not feel like some kind of goon-cave scumbag, and do that regularly. Otherwise, everything you survey from the comfort of your sofa is yours, and rock that poo poo. Start cooking insanely complicated meals at 10pm involving steak (see thread for advice on the best way to cook steak!) and eat at 2am because why the gently caress not? Also: showerbeer. It will change your life.

New Bachelors: Pants are always optional, even in line at the bank. It's always a good time for beef. Learn to cook, at a level better than Ramen. Beer, it is your new best friend. Hey hey hey, smoke weed everyday. Enjoy all the new cash you'll have in your wallet. Floor is your new clothes hamper. Explore the myriad world of alcohol, ALL OF IT. Water, Advil and a multivitamin before bed will ease a hangover. Welcome to the club buddy, just don't start loving a pillow and you'll fit in well here. If you do start loving a pillow, just keep it to yourself.

As a married dude, one of us takin' a whiz while the other showers on the other side of the curtain is fine, but I think neither of us would be happy with brushing our teeth while the other is dropping a deuce. There's a line between practicality and "why would anyone do that?"

I was mostly remarking on the closing of the door bit. I'd certainly evacuate the room if my partner needs to drop a load, but the door closing just seems unnecessary if it's just you and the person you're sleeping with in the house. VV Edit: Different strokes for different folks and all that, I guess, though I can certainly see the zen moment / anti-pet arguments. Marathanes has a new favorite as of 20:12 on Mar 27, 2014 |

I only close the door enough to stop my dog from wandering in and staring at me while I pee. I guess she thinks that since she goes to the bathroom in front of us, she should be able to watch us in the bathroom?

If I'm taking a slam, I shut the door even if I'm alone. Pooping is the most private of actions, a time for quiet reflection to be done in your own tranquil sanctum. The rest of your life is filled with the distractions of books, the internet, and other people. This time belongs only to you.

I was married, and using the bathroom with the door open was just something we both agreed felt weird. Now that I am a bachelor again, I still poo poo with the door closed- but that is mostly because I am afraid something bad will go down and I will be caught with my pants down- same reason I lock the door to shower.

I close the door and turn on the fan because I don't want my entire house to smell like poo poo. Ever go to a buddy's apartment and have it hit you a second after walking in that they just took an open-door poo poo before you arrived and are completely oblivious to the odor? I don't want that.

If I close the door my Male dog will just sit there headbutting the door till I open it. My other dog just whines at the door. For 12 years now I have poo poo with a dog laying at my feet and it would just feel weird if he wasnt there.

Pack a bowl into your piece/oil into your vape outside. Go inside, smoke/vape your  . It makes showers feel erotically awesome, and it actually feel kinda nice on your lungs.
