Exhaustion. Two people, both with full-time jobs, making time to do all the shopping for the week takes actual thought. A lot of people, thanks to the world situation, are tired all the time, and anything that will make the daily grind less grindy is worth money.

Me, I have a husband who loves cooking and finds it relaxing. I'll be honest, if I were (God forbid) single, it'd be a lot of frozen and meal-delivery services, because I'm disabled and tired all the time.

women at home: you restroom doesn't have an electric scent diffuser?? Is the CDC aware of this?

women at public restrooms: half the toilet paper goes in the toilet so it clogs the other i'll just leave on the floor. now to hide these liquor bottles and this candy wrapper in the tampon bags. that should waste enough space that some used tampons will fall into the box when the bags removed so the janitor has to fish them out. can't remember how to flush but that's okay.

My only question is whether Mom has shown her sons how to clean properly (also her husband, although she should only do that once). Young people need to be taught now to clean.

I hope she's not doing anybody of their laundry.

AITA for asking my girlfriend to take down a picture?

quote:

I (23m) am in the process of moving in with my girlfriend (22f). I've stayed the night at her place a couple of times, and across her bed she has a shelf with various knicknacks, including a picture of her dad when he was our age, before she was born/I think it's creepy, and I don't like it. Another creep factor to me is that it's in a heart shaped frame. I don't know what purpose she has for a picture of her dad when he was young and not so dadish. Plus, he's alive and well and she sees him often so I don't understand any display of family members, and it's the only family picture she has. I get it if it was in a photo album but it's a lone picture on a shelf full of unrelated items.

I spoke to her last night and asked her to take it down because I don't like looking at it. I don't want to look at a picture of a man I don't know as soon as I wake up. Like, I know her dad now, but I didn't 30 years ago when he was that age. I told her I think it's weird and if she wants me to move in she has to remove it. She got upset, saying she's had it since she was a little girl and she's always been close and loved her dad very much. I told her I think it's weird she has a picture of her dad at a similar age to her currently in a heart shaped frame. She started crying and accusing me of making her relationship with her dad weird, and it's just a picture that she's never thought much of. She even compromised to say if I dont want it to be the first thing I see every morning, she can flip it down before bed. I still said no, that I find it weird even in concept. She made me go home and hasn't spoken to me since. AITA?

I have to say, I've been in a lot of public women's bathrooms, and have almost never seen anything disgusting.

Except that one time in Tesco, where I pushed open the cubicle door and got to see what looked like the aftermath of a shitgrenade going off.
It was loving everywhere; 6 feet up the walls - Jackson pollock-style spray pattern.

I know diahorroea can be... explosive, but this was thermonuclear levels of explosive.

Having done a few of these boxes, I don't hink they're good for someone who doesn't know how to cook. The instructions are pretty sparse for someone learning for the first time. But, if you're comfortable cooking it's like a fun activity day.

I've seen that in Mens rooms also, I'm pretty sure the culprit was "hovering" rather than sitting on the seat to avoid those nasty germs.

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
I worked as a janitor at my college’s commons building and the ladies room was basically always a horror show. Partially due to hovering and partially due to flushing pads and tampons. Oh and sometimes there would be blood all over the wall and floor of an entire stall. Other times it would be poo poo.

Yep, just before lockdown hit I walked into the ladies bathroom at work and the room had blood up the back wall, the toilet seat and floor were covered in (big) blood clots and feces, and the door handle and the sink had bloody fingerprints all over them.

I have bad periods myself, but that was a whole different level of horror. They had to call in an external company to do a biohazard clean, I talked to one of the cleaners and they strongly suspected it was a late miscarriage, which just added another layer of awfulness to the whole thing.

Lmao I forget that "hovering" is a thing until it comes up in a thread like this.

As if there's anything at all on that toilet seat that can't be removed with a piece of toilet paper before you sit on it that's going to make it worth doing a literal workout in the washroom every time you want to go.

I'm strong. And a giant penguin. Please don't eat me. No, really. Don't try.
in my experience the men's room is always kinda grody with piss splashed around both the urinal and the toilet, and occasionally the men's toilet will be backed up
and then the women's room is a loving horrorshow where someone has poo poo in the flip-top garbage can leaving streaks of poo poo on the flaps and there's also poo poo in the sink and there's bloody shitwater on the floor and an entire roll of toilet paper half in the toilet and half on the floor and also poo poo in the in-stall garbage can that's supposed to be for disposing of tampons and pads

my new workplace will be opening with two all-gender single-occupancies instead of a pair of gendered bathrooms and i'm sure this will just mean that BOTH rooms get encrusted with poo poo in weird places

my personal theory for why it's like this is that it's a grocery store and most of our shoppers are women so there's just MORE PEOPLE making a mess rather than it necessarily being a gendered distinction, but it's still a thing i've observed

The single all-gender bathrooms I've used have actually been on the clean end overall, that's a pretty small anecdotal sample size but maybe there's hope yet.

It's odd. People talk about women's public bathrooms like they are 7th dimension fo hell, but I don't think I've ever seen a misplaced used period product, blood or poo poo in odd places at a public bathroom. And I was an office cleaner for a while. Maybe I'm just lucky? Weirdest thing I saw was a giant beetle in a toilet in a literal savannah.

I do wish squat toilets were more common option. Would give the inevitable squat pissers their natural environment to hang out at.

I've been a janitor before and definitely seen bloody whatsits left here and there, piss and poo poo sprayed everywhere (sadly, never in a creative way like when someone writes with poo poo or sticks it on the wall like you'd find in a mensroom), and i briefly worked at this place where my last three shifts involved bathroom sidework and each of those trips involved a catheter (i think never had my own but weird pissy tube and bag, just figure that's a cathy)being left on top of the toilet tank. To be fair, one of those I found in the men's room.

Anyway if you think the bathroom's are gross, just think of how many people don't wash their hands, even if you stare at them ask them why they didn't wash their hands. Never touch a person or let them touch you.
