My wife, to this day, shuts off the shower and then immediately steps out while water is still running off her soaking wet body, inevitably creating a puddle in the bathroom.

"Honey, why don't you drip for like five seconds, or even grab the towel and give yourself a quick dab before you get out?"

The first time I told her this she just stared at me for a solid 20s while her brain rebooted. But then her "never admit anything ever under any circumstances" instinct kicked in and she responded "wow are you really policing my shower habits?"

So anyway, now she knows better, but still does it because marriage is about compromise, or something.

It's a good thing she's not single, I would hate being in a relationship with your wife!

I give myself knife hands over my body before going for the towel. Towel stays significantly more dry and I can use it several times before it needs a wash.

I've done this for years!

I got ridiculed for doing this by my partner. I do it very quickly and vigorously, it just makes a ton of sense to me; I end up being dry faster and more efficiently than going straight to the towel.

Sometimes it's okay to tell your partner to go fuck themselves.

Look at this guy over here, washing his towels.

That’s how you fuck up your towel mushroom harvest.

I just shake like a dog for a good 10 seconds.

Am I the only one who lays a towel out on the floor in front of the shower? This thread has me thinking what I thought was standard practice might not be.

When I was about 8 years old my aunt told me she returned a belt to the store because the buckle wouldn't fit through the belt loops in her pants. I'll never forget the look on her face when I told her to put it through the other end first.

Bested by an 8 year-old. What utter humiliation.

My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.

  1. Open the excel template
  2. Fill inn the items, and the prices
  3. Sum all posts USING THE DESKTOP CALCULATOR ...

She was completely dumbfounded.

I'm a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.

I’ve seen pdfs with just a photo of a monitor showing an error message.

It was probably cuz you can't run plagiarism checks on it.

A friend of mine told me a story once about an intern that was tasked with writing a text. She delivered one page of text and was told to write more. She asked how. She didn't know that you could write more than one page in Word.

I was about 25 years old before I realized I could use warm water to wash my hands in the winter. I'm usually considered a very intelligent individual, but for some reason this never occurred to me. Maybe it's because I grew up poor and we tried to use as little hot water as possible, or maybe I'm just not as smart as people think I am.

The tree of knowledge is enormous. We’re all bound to miss a thing or two. Most people might not ever come across a situation where they are missing that knowledge or they live their whole lives not realizing. Fuck I wonder how many things I haven’t realized yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Thank you, SuckMyWang for your input, really insightful

really, though, I'd argue the tree of knowledge is not enormous, but infinite

isn't there a saying like: "The more you know, the less you know"?

An acquaintance was always complaining about how cold the water was when washing dishes. He had never thought to turn on the hot water.

He and his wife were conservative talk show hosts in Indiana, specializing in talking about how stupid liberals are.

Every accusation is a projection.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

My previous place heated up very slowly, so I started saving the cold water in a bucket to water my plants because it felt like a waste

There’s a german insult about people who take warm showers
