Pet Peeves

This is actually called the "Shower Curtain Effect" in physics. They have a few hypotheses for why this happens, but no one truly knows why. One of the great mysteries of the world!

Right up there with the washboard effect on roads

I don't see the connection?
We get washboardy roads when the road grader allows his machine to bounce, letting the blade dig into the road at frequent intervals.

Ohhh interesting. Ours looks fine after it’s graded; the washboard seems to form on smooth, hard-packed roads.

When you walk into the kitchen and feel microscopic crunchy crumbs under your feet, even though you just vacuumed yesterday.

Move here. You'll feel microscopic dust everywhere you go.

Sounds like home! I hate dusting.

It's so satisfying to see the brown thing turn into a beautiful piece of metal.

I have a new one today. When you open a bag with one of those "self-seal" zippers and it doesn't work and you keep trying and it won't re-seal no matter what you do. I usually end up putting a clip on it and calling it good.

Ooo my favorite.

I used to complain about lift n' peel, but they've gotten better lately.

And in case I forgot why I'm trying to move...

The day is winding down. A beautiful snow has begun to fall outside. I turn on my desk lamp for extra coziness... then listen to my neighbor try out his new machine gun 300 feet from my window.

So we're clear, my pet peeve is listening to gun shots. I live in a peaceful, wooded neighborhood. Not the set of an action move.
