I have ditched so many "friends" because of this. i get that you're broke, and sometimes its true, but you think spending money on something you don't need is more important than spending time (and maybe a whole $5) with a friend. The reason you're broke in the first place is because you bought a car you don't need that just sits in your parking spot 6.9 days of the week.

...just a few days ago you decided to move the bag of pasta to where you keep the rest of the food so you have no clue if weevils got in the bags and boxes of pasta,the cake and pancake mix and have no clue what to do now.
I feel your pain this is the worst, happened to me about 20 years ago and they are a challenge to get rid of., Not to mention the waste. You probably should go through your dry goods and anything that looks like it has weavels or larvae, turf it out ASAP. Anything that is not contaminated put in Tupperware or glass containers and put in the freezer for 4 days. Bay leaves sprinkled on your shelves are supposed to deter them Good luck cleaning out your cupboards.Here is a link that might help you out.

......you go to walmart to get the $2 dove and there is no one in site to help you. You finally find someone in the worst place toys who tells you there are still in the warehouse. Meanwhile your Autistic son is in heaven and your free shopping trip now costs you $6 as you are not in the mood to deal with a meltdown like the one he had at Zellers the other day.....
oh.....and your internet won't connect after you spent a half an hour typing to the big pink....thank goodness I had her phone number.
...when you are the only person in your house who replaces the empty toilet paper roll.

I have a friend whose home I am at at least three times a week. If I was to use the bathroom each time I am there, two out of three times there is an empty roll. The thing is they don't keep spares I the bathroom but in the main closet hallway. I have even mentioned to her to keep an emergency roll under the sink, not a full pack, but to no avail. I have been caught with my pants down (literally) in compromising situations. How difficult is it to put a roll in there!? It isn't a pedestal sink either!!Quote:

Nobody is embarrassed.
Guests really appreciate this.

....or when you are driving along (luckily not on a busy street) and you discover there's a hornet right beside you on the window and you are deathly allergic to them, with no epi-pen in the car. But worst of all you freak out, do an emergency pull over and jump out of the car while your 4 year old sits in the back watching you totally lose your mind. The worst part is you've been working all summer on convincing your child bugs are nothing to be afraid of....
Thanks for the link... Weevils are so disgusting and very wasteful. I just hope I don't find any more weevils.Quote:
