Doesn't It Just Grind Your Gears When.....

when friends constantly bail on plans or say their broke and cant afford to go out etc etc, but then they go and blow $200 on concert tickets to heavy t.o (rock music festival) .... seriously? get your priorities in order.

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.

...you notice weevils in your pasta as you're pouring it in the boiling water.

...that same bag of pasta has been in your pantry for a couple of weeks so you don't know if anything else is infested with weevils.

...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.

EWWWEE!!!!! That wouldn't grind my gears....it would blow them up...I hope you get rid of them all and it's not in your other food!


......you get home and you go to eat a raspberry and the ones in the middle of the pack at the bottom are growing mold.
......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.

Lol
Or when you go to use the washroom to find a roll of paper towels where the toilet paper should be because someone is too lazy to replenish the toilet paper rolls under the bathroom sink from our enormous toilet paper stockpile downstairs.

....people who are darn impatient getting a glass of FREE water. As a barista I have obligations to make the drinks people had paid for before I hand you a free glass of water....and when they also complain about the size of cup we give it to them in.

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!!

I hear ya.
On the toilet tank we have a Pier One box with lid. We put the toilet roll in a Ziploc bag and then into the Pier One box. The box is decorative. So if someone come over, uses that bathroom and yells for a roll, alls they have to do is go into the Pier One box.

Nobody is embarrassed.
Guests really appreciate this.

Kinda like this.

or they leave 2 sheets on the roll! seriously? lol

[victorialm]

...or the new roll (which has already been used often) sits on the counter.

....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.
