Unforgivable sin? Dirtbags who throw MacDonald's trash, cigarette butts, beer cans, wine bottles, snot rags, Tampax, paper cups, used syringes, used condoms and all manner of stinking detritus, out their car windows. These cretinous subhumans should be buried alive in their own rotting shit and offered the tube from a used enema bag as a breathing device. (so I can piss down it)

Ah! Then you must have one of those new hermetically sealed toilet seats with the stainless hold-down clamps. I'm stuck with the old style with the wide gap between the lid, seat and bowl. <sigh>

It sort of makes me wonder if you're retarded. There's usually only one sort of person whose clothes-on-floor quotient you're likely to know - close friends and relatives. Which means that your Number One Unforgivable Sin is restricted in practical application primarily to only your kith and kin.

Well, so much for your kids ever entering the medical field, I suppose.

Puns aside, do you really have troubles with medical professionals calling you "mom"? The only circumstance that I can readily imagine it happening is if the medical person is including your child in the conversation, in which case it seems like a reasonable title to use.

What the fuck is all this whinging about toilet bugs? The only way we'll beat the revenge of the micro-organisms is to lick the bastards off the seat - in up or down position or in-between. Or at least to fondle the seat before preparing dinner.

Y'know, I always thought the idea of only having one unforgivable sin was stupid - you won't catch enough people that way. Far better to have several unforgivable sins, and change them randomly. I also modify whether they're unforgivable according to who it is who's committing them [Big Grin]

Current unforgivables include:
  • Walking slowly down the pavement and veering from side to side.
  • Whining.
  • Being an asswipe*.
  • Drinking tea.

Offenders will be hunted down and have their skin rubbed off using wire wool. Then I'll set free my specially trained mice, who will gnaw through their chests and allow me to dig out their still beating hearts with a pair of chopsticks.

Whilst the mice are gnawing, I'll be using the bones in the offenders' bodies to conduct stress tests looking how much weight can a bone take before it snaps, and whether surface area of the weight makes a difference (it's all part of my doctoral thesis).

Anyone here who has recently committed an unforgivable?

Sarkycow

*This never makes it off the list. Instead the conditions/attributes which make you an asswipe change. And no, I'm not telling you what they currently are, as that would spoil all my fun [Razz]

Putting empty containers back in the fridge/cupboard [Mad]

OK, I fully accept someone has to finish stuff, not just me, but when I want jam/milk/ketchup and confidently reach for the container I know is on the shelf only to find nothing but a smear inside [brick wall]

And recycling... OK I'm in favour in principle, blank sheets of paper, fine; but how many times do you have to recycle it? Once, good. But twice or three times? that is ridiculous
If I have to decipher the relevant info from a page of notes covering the last week just once more I will not be responsible for my actions.

To me, the proof that it's God's will for the toilet paper go away from the wall is this: back when printed TP was in fashion, the print was always on that side.

I arrange my top sheets on the same "top side up" principle. I have a friend who believes in placing them the other way so that the print (if there is one) shows when you fold the top of sheet down over the blanket. It seems so fussy and wrong to me that when I stay at her house I'm always tempted to correct it and then put it back her way (i.e., the wrong way) in the morning.


Oh Lillian, Lillian, how could a fellow West Virginian be so very wrong? Your friend is right about the top sheet. Why should only the back of the blanket enjoy the pretty print? Fittingly, the way I just know I'm right about this is similar to your (correct) TP theory. Back when print sheets were first coming into style, many of them just had print borders along the top -- meant to fold over the top edge of the blanket. They had to be placed face down in order to work as pictured and advertised. They were called "Turn-back sheets."

Why on God's green earth do people want that pot of liquid tin can and all it's messy paraphernalia when a good cup of Columbian coffee is what He meant us all to drink! I'm sure it's in the Bible.

Finally, someone who's read their Bible!

In other news, today's new list of unforgivables includes:
  • Posts longer than 10 lines of text (line spaces between paragraphs don't count),
    and
  • Having no sense of humour.

And some other stuff as well, obviously.

Today's offenders will be ritually disembowelled, and their guts will be spray painted and used as Christmas decorations.

As a matter of fact, that quote wasn't really in the Bible at all, as anyone with a pretense to any education should know.

And in an age of free electrons, not to say free radicals, what does a few more lines matter? (Or "do", if it comes to that?) Though if you don't drink tea, you might not get it when it comes to radicals.

Even so, does quoted text count in a post?

And some other stuff as well, obviously.

Today's offenders will be ritually disembowelled, and their guts will be spray painted and used as Christmas decorations.

As a matter of fact, that quote wasn't really in the Bible at all, as anyone with a pretense to any education should know.

And in an age of free electrons, not to say free radicals, what does a few more lines matter? (Or "do", if it comes to that?) Though if you don't drink tea, you might not get it when it comes to radicals.

Even so, does quoted text count in a post?

And another thing, did you know that line counts can vary according to the size of your browser window? Not to say the font.

Unforgivable sins include blatant misuse of Supermarket Etiquette™ which include:

  1. Leaving your trolley at an aisle end, where it blocks people going past, while you go down the aisle without it.*
  2. Leaving one member of the party by the checkout, with the goods on the conveyor while you go back to the shelves for more goods.

*I'm probably (saying "prolly", there's another unforgivable sin) on someone elses list as if I find an abandones trolly I tend to either move it a couple of aisles away if it's blocking people's access to the aisle, or drop a few extra goods in there.

Pronouncing the letter 'h' as 'haitch' rather than 'aitch'. That's just 'orrible.

Being an asswipe is still unforgivable, AP. Looks like it's time for some ritual disembowelling [Big Grin]

Hear, hear! I've been tempted to ring up one of those curry places and say 'I was going to order one of your currys but since your man couldn't be bothered to shut the gate – forget it!'.

You should have added, "And now I know how you get all the loose dogs you use in your curry!"

1) Those switches that turn lights, televisions, radios and hifi's on can also turn them off.

2) We have a dishwasher but it doesn't reach out and grab used cups, glasses, dishes, plates and cutlery from wherever you leave them. Not only that, when it finishes it does not put the stuff back in the cupboards.

Those are to my children. This is for my work colleagues.

3) Let me out of the lift before you charge in. Am I invisible or something. It will not go while you are pressing the call button. [Mad]

You know I read that first as the butler going rancid? I'm sure it happens in Hampshire, if not hurricanes.

Our butler keeps himself very fresh, thank you. Except when he's filled his nappy. In case you were wondering I am of course talking about the Blacket, who will be 2 in a few weeks' time. Actually, he's more of my valet than my butler; helps me get dressed in the morning ("trousers on, Daddy, shirt on etc"; just as well I have him otherwise I'd go into work in my underpants [Eek!] ) as preparation for the time in about 50 years when he'll be my carer if he plays his cards wrong...

[Killing me] I'm so going to try dropping some extra items in there and then watch the fun as they load them onto the checkout. Extra-strong ribbed Durex anyone...?

Companies who cold-call me despite the fact that all of my phone numbers (landline and mobile) are registered with the phone preference service. It's illegal for them to do it, but what makes me fume with rage the most is that I still answer the call even if I can see it's a number that I don't recognise, just in case it's important.
