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.
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 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.
I can use it several times before it needs a wash.
Look at this guy over here, washing his towels.
Why does your towel need to be washed more often if it gets wetter?
The water coming off your body is pretty clean (you just showered).
Things like to grow on wet stuff. Even if you’re clean, wet towels will start to grow things and get an odor. The quicker the towel gets dry the quicker it doesn’t grow stuff.
It’s a good thing she’s not single, I would hate being in a relationship with your wife!
Anyone whose first instinct is to get defensive when offered good faith advice… yeah keep em away from me
I dry myself completely while still in the shower and it’s a mystery to me why not everybody is doing this.
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.
Excellent username! I needed a reminder that losing is Fun™️ this morning.
That’s a really shitty way to talk about your partner. Is this supposed to be funny or something? I’m neurodivergent and can’t tell
Yep, has a humorous tone for sure. Don’t worry, this guy doesn’t hate his wife.
If anything, this guy is describing a healthy relationship. You don’t have to have a discussion where you share your heart and feelings about every issue. That’s exhausting having to learn and grow all the time.
Imagine a friend that you joke around and are comfortable with. You would say “fuck you, I’ll drip wherever I want. You’re just mad because you have no drip.” That’s a healthy relationship.
There’s an episode of The Office where Pam and Jim are trying to make Dwight think he’s in The Matrix, so they keep arranging “glitches.” Pam trains a cat to walk past Dwight’s door and then around to repeat it. As they’re telling the camera about it, Jim says “Why didn’t we just get two black cats?” and Pam looks at him with the expression I imagine this guy had with his girlfriend.
So I may be incredibly high right now, but I’ve watched all of The Office at least 5 times now and this scene sounds entirely unfamiliar to me. Is it a deleted scene or something? Because that shit sounds hilarious and I’d love to see it.
Yes they released it when they moved the series to peacock, I didn’t know either. Enjoy your surprise new office content
And thats what we call gaslighting!
Very cool, very funny, very good behavior!
/s
Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality.
Sounds like making someone believe they are in the matrix fits this perfectly but I’m no englishmatologist
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.
My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.
- Open the excel template
- Fill inn the items, and the prices
- 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.
Yeah I know that one but in this case it was pretty clear it wasn’t plagiarized.
The best thing about Excel is the look of hatred you get when using ctrl+; in front of someone who’s been manually entering the date through their entire career.
So, one day I’m hanging out with my friend, and he introduces me to his friend. Middle-aged guy, seems pretty nice, but he’s having a shit day. Why? Because he had to copy something from an email, and he spent about an hour, flipping back and forth between two windows, copying the email into a Word document or something. I was dumbfounded, and I said “Why didn’t you just copy-paste?” The guy stalks off with his head down, muttering under his breath.
My boss will purposely screen shot text he writes so I have to rewrite it and not copy paste… not fun.
Or an iPhone with access to the email. Probably a feature on Android too, idk, I’ve been away from modern Android for ~3 years.
Lots of times I’ve realized it’s easier just to take a screenshot (or even a photo of someone else’s phone…did that tonight when my wife was getting a weird error in Netflix) and then copy the text (or just go right to search from the selection).
Text capture saves hours and hours
I use Microsoft PowerToys for that and dozens of other QOL life hacks.
