Pet Peeves

@BigBlueHen53, can you post a video of this?

Just squeeze the bag from bottom to top to close it tightly and give it a little bit of a twist. Then snap it open again. This gets rid of the static electricity in the bag so it won't try to puff away from the plastic garbage bin.

Thank you!

Okay, I have one. When your bed is here and the light switch is waaaay over there and it's going to be as dark as the inside of a trash bin after you turn off the light, say in a motel or someplace like that ... what to do, what to do?

Do this. Turn on the flashlight on your phone. Set phone on nightstand next to your bed, flashlight up. (Ooh, that's bright! Blinding in fact.) Now set a water bottle on top of the flashlight. Turn off room light. Cool! Instant lamp. Tones down the brightness of the flashlight, diffuses the light so you can actually see. Don't bang your shin or toe on the corner of the bed. Yay!

This reminds me of a pet peeve I have. Light switches. They're never where you need them.

"I travel in from (community 15 miles away) and I can't be bothered to make that long trip to be at early appointment or pick up my products "

You chose to live there. You knew you were that far away from town when you moved in. Nobody forced you. It's only 15 miles, I do twice that to get to work every day.
Quit your whining.

Depending on a few factors, that's less than ten minutes drive?

But I guess some people aren't used to having to drive just to get anywhere
Or to driving everywhere within a two block radius?

Wonder what they would have said to my 120km TWICE a day to get to work in winter too! For over 20 yrs! And got up at 4am to do chores!

Sheesh some people!

Um wouldn't that be driving like 90 mph?
