no thanks....hahahaha

 

[NOFX]

I tell you... it really cuts down on mess. I'd assume especially for women.

PS - Hope you keep your toothbrushes in a drawer if you pee standing up.

 

[Rand0m]

what doesnt kill me. . . . . . . . ....

 

[JohnS.]

yo i dont know man...

did anyone else see this?

both me and my roommate agree that you are not allowed to do that anymore.

edit- someone else did see

Hahahahaha I really can't help it. It's just like an involuntary thing. When I need to piss, I don't think about standing or sitting. I just automatically go, drop the pants/shorts/whatever, and piss. I really can't help it .

Nope... my mom's a neat freak. growing up my sister and I had to do all kinds of chores (same every weekend) before we could do anything else that weekend.

Our Saturday chore list:
- Vacuum all the rooms (living room rug, two back bedrooms, master bedroom, study, runners in hallways and foyer).
- Wash dishes.
- Wash floors (kitchen, dining room, living room, hallways, study and foyer).
- Clean up the yard (scoop dog poo, sometimes other small things).
- Wash windows (mostly was a problem in the living room, study, and dining room where the dogs put their noses on the glass).
- Vacuum furniture (dogs get on furniture).
- Clean bathrooms (scrub, and I mean scrub, the tub, shower, sink, floors, toilet. wash mirror, vacuum first - gets rid of lint and hair, makes it easier to wash floors and such).
- Wash towels.
- Wash own clothes.

And at least twice a year we had to wash all the exteriors of the windows (besides the two upstairs) and replace all the screens or remove all the screens.

Not to mention the normal every nigth chores of feeding dogs and washing towels (my sister was supposed to do those and always pissed about it) or cleaning the dining room and kitchen (which was my nightly chore). Plus occasionally other things like washing cars and such.

lol that's not really that much compared to what my mom does. But considering you have animals, yes that is more than a household with no pets. But we don't have pets or anything and my mom manages it all (dad does the vacuuming and some of the dusting). I'll see if I can think of what my mom does... I know I'll miss some stuff though cuz I don't watch her or help her (she doesn't let me cuz she thinks I won't do a good job lol. Same goes for my dad).

Daily:
- Dust a few rugs/carpets here and there outside the garage on the driveway
- Take a wash cloth and wipe the entire kitchen floor (about 30 feet long and 12 feet wide with the a counter and small dinner table in the way) after dinner
- Take a wash cloth and wipe all the tables and counters in the kitchen after dinner
- Picks up things here and there, rearranging, organizing, and like dirt/crumbs/etc. she sees

Weekends (Saturday or Sunday, depends on her mood and if shes tired):
- Vacuum the entire upstairs (4 bedrooms including the master)
- Then use a smaller vacuum and vacuum all the corners and stuff the big vacuum can't reach in each room upstairs
- Then take a wash cloth or paper towel with pledge (or some type of cleaning material) and wipe down dressers, open area on desks, headrests on beds, etc. (all the wood stuff)
- Clean the toilet in the hallway bathroom
- Clean the bathtub and walls in the hallway bathroom (it actually takes time surprisingly lol)
- Clean the bathroom counter and sink
- Vacuum the family room, foyer, dining room, and kitchen downstairs (again, take small vacuum too and vacuum the corners and hard to reach spots)
- Mom also takes pledge to the dining room table every now and then (only because it's rarely used so there's no need to clean it every weekend)
- Again take a wash cloth or paper towel with pledge and wipe down all the wood stuff again
- Take a soft cloth and wipe the dust off the piano and the table in the room (and the cloth is always left in that room, just shaken every now and then)
- Water the few plants we have inside our house
- Clean the downstairs bathroom (again toilet, sink, floor (but then again the bathroom is like 5 square feet so it takes MUCH shorter)
- Then there's all the laundry

And every now and then we have to vacuum the basement (it's finished and big, atleast bigger than most people assume from looking at our house). And also every now and then we vacuum and dust the living room (one with piano in it).

But I think from observation and inference, I'm gonna go ahead and assume my house is bigger lol. But maybe not, who knows. It just seems like it. Or maybe my mom just goes overkill on the house.

why would you have to break the habit of leaving the tv/radio on? who says you can't have it that way for your entire life?

 

[dank24]

pretty much every one is common and it's not a weird thread anymore, huh? Except for guys pissing sitting down lol, I am messin with yea.

 

[flora]

i like to count stuff and make it equal...like if i scratch my left leg twice, i scratch my right leg twice, too. or i count when i chew....but i count how many times on the left, then chew for that much on the right. o_O

i'm right handed, but i wipe with my left. >< i tried to wipe with my right, but it just wasn't right.

 

[ImportFan1]

wow. some interesting things that ppl do.

 

[\\ Forgiven //]

When I eat little things like M&M's I have to eat them 2 at a time, one on each side.

When I wake up in the morning I go to the bathroom and take a shower and when I take a crap I have to pull my pants up again and then back down before I can jump in the shower...I can't go straight from wiping to cleaning myself.

I also shift back and forth from 1st to neutral at stop lights.

I can't stand to walk around any house barefoot....I have left peoples houses because they said I had to take my shoes off before walking on their carpet.

I can't sleep with any doors open, and I cant sleep with nothing covering me...I have to have a heavy blanket. In the summer I cover up with a heavy blanket and put the fan on blast right next to me to get confortable instead of just sleeping without the cover.

I can't sleep without the TV on no matter how tired I am.

I shake my legs all the time...if there is something in front of me like a curb I will stand up and start stepping on and off the curb. If people yell at me about this (which happens often, I use to do it all the time while talking to friends), I will sit still and start cracking my toes until I get bored, then go back to stepping up and down the curb.


When I go into my bathroom I have to look behind the shower curtain and then close it completely and do whatever I'm going to do.

This ties into the one above, I cant do anything in the bathroom (brush my teeth, piss, whatever) unless I have covered all openings on the floor (vents and tub drain).

I have to be whistling something...most of the time its not a song, just a bunch of random pitches.

Oh no, you don't understand. Those were the chores my little sister and I had to do on Saturday. My mom and step-dad do a lot more. What I listed was only one day (she liked it done before noon too.. I think that was the time).

why would you have to break the habit of leaving the tv/radio on? who says you can't have it that way for your entire life?

Because many people, i.e., significant others, can't sleep with the radio on. So though you don't HAVE to stop... it would be polite.

Oh, and one more. I count the number of noodles when I eat macaroni and cheese.

 

[JohnS.]

^^ Oh gotcha. Makes sense now lol.

Oh, and one more. I count the number of noodles when I eat macaroni and cheese.

Do your friends know you do that? If so, have they ever tried distracting you purposely while you eat mac & cheese to see if you can still manage it? If I knew you in person and you ate mac & cheese in front of me, I'd definitely try to do that.

There aren't many times I've eaten mac and cheese around friends besides boyfriends.

I am right handed, but when talking on the phone, I listen with my left. I try to use my right ear, but I cant! It just doesnt feel right

 

[Akiahara96]

well lucky me, my husband sleeps with the tv on, too.

i listen with my left, too. i think my hearing is actually better in that ear. i'm right handed.. but i always cut food with my left instead.

 

[Destroy]

I'm a f**king ketchup master, I put it on everything. I can kill a bottle in one sitting.

 

[NOFX]

I'm right handed but my hand writing apparently looks left handed. So everyone says at least. They'll see my writing and ask me if I'm left handed. Like they'd just never noticed it before.

I like to sleep on a cold pillow
Even if it's freezing out, I will lay down and put my face on the coldness of the pillow. Once the pillow warms up, I flip it over and proceed to do the same with that side. I keep doing this over and over all night. I usually keep a spare pillow on the floor so that one gets cold while I use the other.

That's the only one that comes to mind right now.
