airdvr 197 #1 March 21, 2009 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?Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongWayToFall 0 #3 March 21, 2009 Just put the extra lid back. Who cares. BTW, the gas pumps have to be checked periodically by the state to ensure they are delivering the proper amount of gas.

pwln 0 #4 March 21, 2009 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.

Andy9o8 0 #5 March 21, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpingjunkie81 0 #9 March 21, 2009 I ALWAYS take a lid from the center of the stack! 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pwln 0 #12 March 22, 2009 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.

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.

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.
