Sometimes I think the only good thing that came from the bachelor threads was the duct taping of bags of wine in the shower to have a classy shower wine instead of a lowly shower beer.

loquacius posted:

wait, do you fill your glass in the shower, or do you tape the bag way up high and drink directly from the spigot, or do you poke a hole in the top and stick in some plastic tubing to use as a straw, or what

I *must* know


RyokoTK posted:

You shower with the wine, obviously.


BOOTY-ADE posted:

All of these are valid but I prefer the straw, like a big adult Capri Sun

Solice Kirsk posted:

I always thought a nice wine glass sitting on the soap dish would add a touch of class to a shower. So the one time I had shower wine thats how I did it. Same with using a bottle instead of a can for beer.


Outrail posted:

Not safe man. Smashed glass in your foot before work would suck rear end. And the alcohol would make it bleed worse.


Subjunctive posted:

If you're having enough booze before work to materially affect how quickly you bleed, you're probably better off calling in sick anyway.


Solice Kirsk posted:

A chunk of glass in my foot would prompt me to call in anyways. A quick picture of my gross bleeding foot so I can let my boss see the "proof" that I stepped on my razor and it's a day of Bloodborne and junk food for me.


Snapchat A Titty posted:

Why even have a gallon of wine & shards of broken glass in your shower if you aren't gonna call in sick? That's the best part!


Big Centipede posted:

I hate when the shower gets my burrito all soggy


Solice Kirsk posted:

Keep it wrapped in the foil except for the little bit you're eating and shower with your back to the shower head. This is like Bachelor Shower 101 stuff.

It just acts as a fat but it easier to spread than butter, adds a little bit of sweetness and toasts up better cos of the sugar content. I was sceptical too but it's the way. Also obv put the cheese side of the bread down first so it melts more

If you use makeup removal wipes or a cotton square with liquid, after you clean your face swab out the bathtub/shower a little bit with it. The makeup remover cuts oil and grime on your face, and will also clean up your tub.

When you make a casserole, freeze 75% of it so you don't get sick of eating it or it spoils in the fridge.

Oxyclean in your sink drain or dishwasher makes it stop smelling gross.

If there's a hair clog in your shower drain grating, light a match or a cotton swab and stick it down there when the drain is dry.

This is how most diner's make their grilled cheese sandwiches. So if you've ever been wondering how to achieve that perfect golden crispy "diner look" for your grilled cheeses that's how.

It's also how we crisped the buns for hamburgers when I worked at a ballpark. The fact that it contains the eggs, a high smoke point oil and can be applied extremely thin makes it an incredible tool for frying bread.

Make rice, then crack an uncooked egg into it. Top with a few dashes of soy sauce, sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds (and if you wanna get nuts, some Sriracha). Welcome to your new breakfast porridge, you slovenly gently caress.

Poor cereal into a bowl, dish or plastic container. If you want to get fancy, add milk. If you've got no spoons, a fork will do and you can drink the milk straight from the bowl at the end.

Also: If your shower curtain annoyingly attacks you when you're showering, spray the outer side of it with water, as well as the part of the tub it lays against. Once you get in the shower, use the water to lay it flat against the tub edge. This is for if you've got a vinyl shower curtain, cloth ones you can just spray once you've gotten in the shower and the same poo poo happens.

Or just get rid of the shower curtain and mop the floor afterwards. (This lifehack stolen from my parents)

Always make your bed and tidy your room up a bit before you go out so if you end up bringing somebody home it won't look like you live in a disgusting hovel.

If you can only keep one part of your bachelor hovel clean make it the bathroom. Clean your toilet and mop / vacuum the floor once a week and spray a bit of bleach in the bathtub or shower every now and then.

If you're planning on drinking heavily make food beforehand that you can eat when your shitfaced. Drunk you will appreciate the forethought.

Put some art on the walls of your hovel. Actual art, not movie posters or video game poo poo.

Drink the best booze you can afford but learn to eat cheaply (there's a thread in GWS for this). Don't buy home-brand toiletries, they never work as well as the name-brand stuff.

The opposite of this. I mean, you can buy cheap food as long as it's still good, but a few glasses in you're not going to care whether you're drinking a $60 bottle of wine or a $10 cask. If you're worried about the first few drinks, buy something nice to start on and something cheap to continue with.
