Thread: The Bitching Thread

  1. #3541
    Man, my family members are slobs.

    They make me wash the dishes every night and then they always use a boat load of dishes every day and night because they're not appreciating the work I put into washing the dishes. It's always "used ones go in the sink, clean ones comes out on the dish rack; never a miscommunication" with them. I always find myself slaving over the sink having to wash a variety of bowls, plates, utensils, etc.

    Well, washing tableware, bowls and plates aren't too much of a hassle because they require minimal strength for washing. However, washing pans, pots and other cookware sucks too. They're so big and bulky and there's almost never enough space in my sink to wash those bastards. Right now, I've got about four or five pots and two pans that need to be washed. I mean, even if I do use the dishwasher, most hard-anodized cookware aren't dishwasher safe, so you end up cleaning them up anyway because your cooking-illiterate family believed in having your food taste like metal and having evenly cooked food as the best and only way one should prepare their food.

    Also, washing wooden spatulas suck as well. Unless they've been lubricated with oil, you'll always bet that food or whatever is going to be sticking to them and then they become really hard to wash out unless you've soaked them in water for a couple of hours. And even then, you've got eggs or whatever shit that's still sticking on them so you have to wash them over and over. And since my family always find themselves using wooden spatulas because they're so incompetent at cooking besides their "great" stir-frying that I always find these wooden spatulas in the sink ready to be washed by me. I sometimes wish that I could buy a bandsaw and cut that shit up into toothpicks so that I can add them to my family's cooking and choke the person who's been using it every second day.

    The same goes with tall cups in which your hand can never read the bottom, so you end up breaking it somehow and buying new ones later. It's especially becomes more difficult if my slobby family members drink some milk or some other fluids that are very perishable so then it's like your hand is touching some globs of bullshit. Point is - if your hand can't reach the bottom of the cup, the cup is, instantly, a failed product and the designers who made the cup clearly did not take into consideration the statistical size of its consumers' hands to be used in conjunction with washing dishes. Those mother fuckers.

    Then, it gets complicated when you're washing other shit like rolling pins, cutting boards and other kitchen gadgets like can openers. How the fuck do you wash can-openers? They're like the most hardest gadget to wash. Washing pizza rollers? Easy. Washing jar openers? Moderately difficult. Washing muffin pans? Hard. But washing can-openers? You've got to be shitting me.

    After that, we've got salad dressing. Fuck that shit, it's a bunch of bullshit! Salad dressing expires really fast if it's left unrefridgerated (which is the case most of the time if you're hand-washing shit) and depending on the sauce, it's just a bunch of white cheese and the shit, figuratively, smells like toenails. After that, if you do soak that shit in, and it's one of the last dishes to be put in the dish (or on the tower of dishes), then the white shit goes all over the god damn pots and dishes once you run it through water. Also, it's pretty gross once it collects in the sink - which brings me to my next point.

    Penultimately, we've got those rubber gloves. I almost never use rubber gloves when I'm washing dishes. Why? It's because, occasionally, I'll get some water inside my gloves and the next day I use them, they emit an essence that cannot be described in any human language. Personally, I think it's a combination of shit leaking out of an elephant which has been regurgitated four times, a dead pile of cows all voiding their complex digestive system simutaneously and a roadkill skunk. Who the fuck wants to put their hands in something that smells like that? I wouldn't.

    Finally, we've got shit in the drain. Really, this can't be avoided unless your family members ate all of their plates clean (which mine don't, unfortunately), then you get a shit load of shit stuck in the sink drainer and depending on how much shit there is in the sink drainer, you have to waste your time toggling with the amount of waste you let through the sink drainer because if you let too much out, then you might risk clogging up your pipes and waste your time sitting around all day until these guys come to your house, unclogging your shit, then leaving you to clean up the mess. If you let only little bit in, you'd have to waste your time watching water form a small whirlpool going down the drain. Yeah, that's right; it's like having to watch your shit go down the toilet every time you take a shit. It's a waste of time and hell, you could be doing something better while you watch the shit go down like washing your hands (only in this case, washing your hands will increase the time it takes for the water and shit to be drained).

    tl;dr

    Washing dishes suck.

    You should spend less time writing these short essays and more time washing those dishes.

    My bitch: mowed the lawn for the first time in almost 3 weeks. Lawn looks great but now my allergies are kicking my ass.

    I was browsing this thread from my mobile, and from the reading the first line and eyeing the first two paragraphs of the post knew immediately it came from En. I'm not too sure what to make of it.

    @dishes: wooden spatulas suck, I'm with you on that one. Stuff sticking to it isn't so big a problem since I just use steel wool and scrub the shit through it, but I dislike the way it holds the smell of whatever you last cooked for weeks to come. Same with white plastic ladles becoming temporarily discoloured.

    I think Australia must have huge pipes for sinks or something. My parents always use those drain catcher things because they think the sinks will clog up. I've tipped saucepans of porridge down the sink for years without problems. (I've known of a Taiwanese family who've carried over a disgusting habit of throwing their used toilet paper in the bathroom bin so they don't clog their toilet. They must be squatting on their toilet bowls too, because I can't think of another reason for how they can fucking miss.)

    I can't remember the last time I ever used gloves for dishes. Back ages ago my biggest bitch about dishes was getting splashed in dishwater. We don't have a habbit of using aprons (when we did they were cloth ones that got soaked anyway). Now I just make it a rule to wash dishes before showering, but that's less about splashing since I don't do that anymore and more about not having to reapply moisturiser to my arms.

    @lawn: I only feel like shit (sometimess) when I'm actually mowing the lawn. Not after.

    It would save money and the awful smells if you just showered with your dishes.

    The heater core in my car blew. That part is probably the absolute worst component in a car to lose. Huge labor cost, all day work, and as icing on the cake, the part alone is expensive ($300+).

    Ate from a place that serves "bulgogi burger." Tastes pretty good, but as expected, it's now tearing through my innards (at least it was cool enough to wait until after I finished taking a final). I tell you, me and Korean stuff will never get along. If she's hot enough, I'd still give it a shot, but I know it would end dismally.

    edit: it might not have been the Korean food that tried to kill me! Remembered I drank an expired bottle of 5 Hour Energy before my final and that might have been what messed me up. After purging, I feel better, but not great. Sux that I threw away the other half of my burger, and the last 2 bottles of expired 5 hour.

    Tsk, Tsk...do you not watch "The Inbetweeners"? Today I got some hair and debris in my eye, and had to go to an eye doctor. To make things worse, my nose would not stop running the whole time, but she was pretty cool about it. Turns out I scratched my cornea pretty badly and have to constantly lubricate my eye for the next few days (no jokes, plz). At least it was only 50$ total.

    I've seen that episode. I stopped watching the show after 5 or 6 episodes because the crew are a bunch of unlikeable limey twits.

    Unlike Will in this clip, I stayed home from work today while I recover from this. Gonna try to eat some rice now, wish me luck!

    The grains or congee? Maybe try some mint or chamomile tea as well.

    I made slightly wetter than usual rice, so not quite congee (if that's what I think it is). That was 5 hours ago and it hasn't come back up, though I feel slightly worse as my body tries to process the rice.

    I found out about the BRAT diet for food poisoning sufferers: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (white bread) are supposed to be the best choices for sustenance and easy digestion. Also, tea like you said, though I'm drinking lemonade and that's staying put.

    Got over my food-poisoning in almost 48 hours exact. I think it was a life-changing experience. So far, flowery smelling soaps seem to make me nauseous now, as does cold tea. I'm more paranoid about food preparation and cleanliness in the kitchen, though I wonder how long that will last, since I'm pretty sure I got sick from restaurant food or the expired energy drink. Cleaned out the fridge and cupboards of expired food and hope this never happens again. I still feel weak and tired as a kitten, though my appetite is returning.

    edit: also, I like corn tortillas more than flour tortillas now... not sure if it's related to the illness, but it wasn't this way before.

    I was going to pick and keep a bag of 3-days-expired potato chips out of the bin that my manager threw out, but in the end decided that acting suspicious/cheap/sneaky and getting caught wasn't worth a bag of chips.

    I have two things to bitch about, first one is about unimaginable thing that had happened in my country, the other one is related to car.

    1) Imagine this - football(the football, not the handegg, you Americans!) fans were showing signs with anti-goverment slogans(targeted against the PM and the president) on the matches. Guess what was the media and government reactions.
    Government forced the football clubs, which fans were showing those slogans, to close the stations for everyone - those clubs now have to play without anyone watching them. It is so stupid and surreal that i don't know what i was supposed to do - laugh or cry at their stupidity.
    Media ,on the other hand, didn't show that anyone had displayed slogans, but they quickly found small groups of pseudo-fans and did a lot of reports showing that the fans are all a dangerous, social degenerated group(which is not true). they basically put up a nice smokescreen to obscure the news of government closing stations, and they channeled people's hatred against football fans. It was done by every media available over here - except few, very small ones. If someone tells me to believe in free media, I'll just laugh.

    2) i've been changing tires(to be exact, whole wheels) from winter ones to summer ones, and the goddamn mechanic's helper broke one of anti-theft screws. so instead of 20minutes max, it took over two hours.

    My boss's wife is going around asking for donations for my boss's birthday present. She is getting him a new movie screen for his home theater.

    Obviously I'm not required to give anything, but beyond that it pisses me off that they're going around begging for money ("begging" is what I call it when you come to my office and shake a manila envelope full of money in front of me) for an extravagant gift they can easily afford while I barely have enough money to put gas in my car. I wouldn't be caught dead asking my employees for birthday gift money.

    Unfortunately for you, this will make it so that you'll never be the boss :-(. Gotta start exploiting whenever the opportunity arises.

    I have never had a boss like that. More like the boss himself brought a birthday cake or something else for the employees to enjoy. But Azazel's boss really sounds like the kind of capitalist swine the marxists were writing about, and the wife even worse. My condolences.

    I think it depends on the laws in your country. Mass demonstrations here require prior approval, as does election campaigns and advertisements on television by parties who are trying to "slander" the other.

    If those people are trying to use a loophole and use televised sporting events to demote certain political parties (if this is against the law), then I can't really blame your government for shutting the whole thing down in response.
