Post things that should be easy for people to do, but they don't .
Edited on Wed Dec-24-08 11:34 PM by nytemare
1. Flush the toilets at public restrooms.

2. Wash their HANDS!

3. Use a turn signal when turning/changing lanes.


All these things you would EXPECT of even a moderately idiotic human being, but it seems less and less frequent that I come across people who actually do the listed things.

Please add to my list!

:hi:

1. close the effing cupboard doors
gaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! my roommate can't do that and it makes me nuts.

also, make sure the door is actually latched, not just pushed to. my back door, although locked, is not latched when i wake up most mornings. that is also my roommate.

5. I suppose I am a little compulsive about things like that, as well.
I close the door all the way and lock it. And, closing a cabinet door isn't difficult at all.

6. Exactly!
Luckily, I live in a household by myself, so that one doesn't concern me much. But, I can surely see where that would aggravate someone!

16. Damn, can I cook?
Screwn again.

But I LOVE to find out of the way places to get grub.

Sometimes it's good, sometimes not so good.

18. Vote.
I keep telling people "It's faster than taking a shit."

Maybe I'm not selling it right.
