Pet Peeves

Short showers are soooo fun.

Lol it's not even like I'm a giant! But doing squats to wash my hair is something I didn't think I'd be doing

Lol. I had my bathroom remodeled a couple years ago. Took out the tub which was about a foot deep and six feet long. I'm five feet tall and three feet around. Now with bad knees. What a comedy that would be! Or possibly a hilarious tragedy.

ExcerShower: It's so short, you've got to squat!

Welcome to The Hobbit Inn!
Where the shower hits you in the chin.
Even if you are not tall,
You will wish you were quite small!

Other pet peeves:
Taking time off work and thinking I'm gonna get my house clean, but somehow not getting anything clean. (Maybe it's dirtier)
Having too many birthdays in a short amount of time.
Having anxiety about something silly.

When offered a food that might be spicy (usually a salsa), I take a chip or spoon and dip it into the salsa. Tap off all of it, so the chip or spoon is just wet. Then taste.

That saved me from blistered lips/gums more than once. It got my tongue, but I had a packet of sugar ready.

(Sugar or milk help to cool the burn.)

Wow Sally you've got it down to a science!! Good to know.

Do you guys swing hammers around, willy-nilly in the kitchen

I've been known to.
I do remember the time I found a snake on the counter and got a little willy-nilly.

Wish I coulda seen that! (Like a fly on the wall, not in danger of being hammered, of course.) Didja get the snake?

Yes.
Had a few dishes setting on counter needing washed. That's not a habit of mine so wasn't expecting anything when I grabbed up a big skillet and quickly discovered a snake curled up half under it and behind it.
Not my best moment but like a little girl I jumped and tossed the skillet as it started uncoiling. Saw my hammer laying down the counter within reach so to regain my masculinity I grabbed it and proceeded with overkill hammering.
Killed the snake and knocked the backsplash off that wall in the process.
Surprisingly no countertops were injured.

Thank you for that vivid word picture. Can not imagine seeking a hammer with an iron skillet in my hand, however. ... oh, on rereading I see the skillet inadvertently flew out of your hand.
