I would pay an extra $10 to watch a movie with no commercials during the "pre-show" or before the trailers.

The idiot who renovated my house before I bought it built the kitchen counter around the dishwasher. Who knew that one day someone would want to replace the dishwasher without tearing that counter apart?

Cats. You love them, feed them, give them a place to stay, play with them, brush them, and snuggle them. They pay you back by peeing in your dryer.

My stupid job never pays me on time. It's supposed to be the first and the fifteenth of every month, but it is NEVER ON TIME. It's always some bullshit excuse, too. My favorite was December 15th, when the boss was going out of town to Christmas shop and so couldn't bother to sign our checks, even though she came into the office for half an hour for some other reason. I only got paid that day because I showed her my electric bill that was due two days later and asked her repeatedly to pay me, practically begging. She likes to torture us by withholding our paychecks, for whatever reason. "Oh, we don't have the money in accounting." "Oh, I am waiting till Monday", blah blah blah.

EDIT: I just asked her to pay me, and she said that she doesn't do payroll until the night of the 15th. Bullshit lady. loving pay me!

I have to call plumbers to get quotes to get a clog in my sewer line fixed.

I already know it's gonna be expensive, but god drat do I not wanna call roto rooter. That whole business just seems skeevy to me. It's like "Oh, poo poo, you have an emergency, guess we are gonna charge you out the rear end now for it cause, hell, what are you gonna do? Not poop?"

Mainly though, I just hate calling businesses.

Those kinds of places can eat my rear end.

"Let me check our Standard Pricing(tm) so you know every price is fair. Oh I see a clog is a Level 10, that will be $1200 dollars."

What is the likelyhood that 60 festive old farts in a southern state can go an entire party without getting political.

I've always heard that you should basically never use any Liquid Plumber/Drano type of products ever. Maybe like once or twice, but despite what they say, they are bad for all pipes, metal and plastic.

Just get a drain snake to get rid of clogs.

Nah, Drano is fine. The chemical reacts to hair/dirt/grease whatever but doesn't react with the plastic or metal in the pipes.

My mom's birthday is today, she is out with a friend, but forgot her cell phone. We have a good dinner planned tonight....and one of her cats just died, literally, in my arms an hour ago. It's not one of her favorites at least but I have to tell her when she gets back. Bye, Rosie.

My cat's name is Rosie too. She's ok though, I saw her a minute ago. Condolences on your Rosie :(

Hey Cowslips, I don't want to be creepy, but between your avatar and stories about your mom you're kinda memorable.

Anyway, after sorta following your posts for a year+ I think you need to not live with your mom anymore, and maybe stop working at that lovely pet shop.

My GF bought a quart of paint last night for a project, but it was too late to start, so she left it sitting on an end table in the living room. At some point during the night, the cat decided the paint can (and most of the paint within) looked better on the living room floor.

It's latex paint, at least, and the floors are sealed hardwood, so it's not like it's carpet or anything, but they're older floors and not sealed well. They're original parquet floors when the house was built in the 70's, and maybe they've been refinished once, but it was long ago. We cleaned up most of it this morning with paper towels and water, but there's plenty of dryer spots that were hard to get up, and we had no time to try to really get them all. We're hoping they come off easily by scrapping with a putty knife, but I know there's areas where the finish is worn down and the paint might have soaked through, not to mention the larger gaps between the pieces where the paint got down, though at least that's not super noticeable.

Head on down to whatever hardware store you have nearby and get some paint remover wipes. If the paint has dried you can let one rest on a spot for a few minutes to soak in, then wipe it up. They work like Lysol wipes but for paint.

Amazon is really good about refunding/replacing packages, especially if the delivery person didn't get anyone to sign for it.

So I got this tree I need to cut down in the little gap of land between my and my neighbour's houses. I borrowed a saw from a co-worker and I'm going to do it on Wednesday when I finally have a day off. I wake up today and my partner tells me that she came home today and found my neighbour drunkenly berating one of our housemates about how the tree is annoying and he's been trying to tell me to cut it down for years (he never talks to me). Both of them told him he needs to talk to me directly and eventually he wanders off.

I'm annoyed because I'm going to cut down this tree and he'll think that bugging them got the message to me and now he'll keep bugging them and never talking to me.

Neighbours! Bah!

So, a little buzz on your wist and fireworks going off on your Fitbit gets more results than a living human telling you "Good work!"

My FWP is that there are three different possible animations on my fitbit when I hit my goal: a spinning star, some fireworks, and a rocket ship. The rocket ship is my favourite, but I only seem to get it like twice a month.

That feeling of panic when food is stuck in your throat can go straight to hell. For reference, I was eating toffee and drinking a shake, so I guess the caramel froze in my throat and then wouldn't go down all the way. Why does it feel like dying?? I'm aware that I can still breathe!
