Strange things you notice

Recommended Posts

Plastic coffee cup lids at the gas station. Whenever I take one 2 always come off the stack. Now I have to touch it to seperate them. I usually just throw it away but I'm thinking "what if they guy before me touched it and put it back on the stack?" Or, I'll bet there's lots of wasted lids that get thrown away. Same with those stupid cup dispensers.

Or what about the .9 of a gallon of gas you might be giving the oil companies free? Back in the day there were dials on the pumps. You ran the dial around until it read the exact amount you wanted to pump. Now it's digital. The dollar amounts just change instantly. How do you know you're not getting shorted?

I notice people on the second (or higher) floor think no one on the street can see them. I see a lot of naked people, but never on the ground level. Not that I'm looking, and it does not matter what city/state I'm in.

If you live or have a bedroom on a higher than ground level floor, ANYONE CAN STILL SEE YOU.

See, the deal is to always take the 3rd lid in the stack, cuz the last guy touched the first lid (notice how it's always loose?), and that one touched the 2nd lid, contaminating it. So I always take the 3rd lid, and put the first 2 back in the stack. After I scratch my nose with them.

Wait a minute. In doing so, I probably touch the 3rd lid. Which means the last guy did, too.

Shit.

If you're that worried about it... you probably dont want to see the guys making your food with no gloves on.

Something I learned a while ago, its sometimes better to just not ask or care.

Also, when I buy something, no matter what it is (groceries, clothes, shampoo, anything) I NEVER take the one thats in front! I always reach back to the 3rd or 4th one.... But I'm a little wierd I guess! :P



I do that with food.. Supermarkets want to get rid of stuff that is about to expire, so they put the new stuff in the back and the old stuff in the front..

I always move the item at the front of the shelf toward the back so it becomes the 3rd or 4th one.:ph34r:

On that note, I know people that wash/rinse/dry a can of soda (or beer) before they open it up and drink it.

If I see something on the can I may blow it off or wipe it with my (dirty) shirt, but washing it is going too far in my book. I'll just take my chances.

Quoting for truth...

...I deal with this all the time...I generally won't care...but someone else always does...:S
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

And after working in a restaurant as a kid, I learned to never, ever piss off the waitresses/waiters or cooks in a restaurant.:S

Uh-huh. And now think about that public bathroom at the same convenience store, and all the people that hold their dick while urinating, and don't wash up afterwards.

Now figure out how to get out of that bathroom without touching that doorknob that has the dick germs from a thousand other men on it...

Just before grabbing a cup of coffee on their way out!

Use the paper towel you dried your hands off with and then throw it away after leaving the restroom.

If they only have blow dryers, use toilet paper or an ass gasket.

That's easy. I usually get a paper towel or wad of toilet paper off the roll and use that to insulate my hands from the handles when I leave, and since the waste basket is usually right there by the door, it's academic.

Not long ago I was in a bathroom that had a special handle that you simply hook with your fore arm to open the door. That was cool.

Ass gasket is referred to those disposable wax paper like sheets with the middle cut out to lay down on the toilet before you sit down. Not all bathrooms have them. I just use toilet paper, maybe 3 feet long strips folded in half and laid down, one on each side.

But if you are on a hill, they are really at eye level. If i do see someone naked in a window do I look next time? Sure, if it was worth it the first time. I don't hide in the bushes or stop walking.



wave at them. then they know they aren't invisible. :D

Instead of wasting paper, why don't you just use the paper towels that you had folded under your knees?
