Resealable Socks

This morning I was rummaging through my pile of clean clothes that I keep beside my recliner in the living room looking for a pair of matching socks.
Every matched pair had at least one sock with a big hole in the ankle or the top all stretched out.
Naturally, I cursed god for making my life so hard when it suddenly occurred to me that I could just go buy some new socks.
I guess epiphany isn't just a name for African American girls.

So I did.
I'm puzzled though:

WHY do socks come in a resealable bag? Do they go bad if you don't close it back up?

Any packaging or product make no sense to you?

They also do this with underwear too. This is only done with the cheaper brands at stores like Target, K-Mart, etc. The reason they do this with socks and underwear is so people can take them out of the packaging and look at them and get an idea of the size without ruining the packaging. This makes it easier on the people who work there because they can easily fix the mess the customers make.

I guess that makes sense. They ARE from WalMart.

I am going to go ahead and call this stupid

It's an "Emotibomb" from Lush. Basically it is a hockey puck you put in your shower that makes smell for like 4-5 minutes, and serves no other purpose. I bought one because it smelled like one of my favorite soaps. Then I realized I am an idiot, and could just buy the soap, have the same scent, and it serves a useful purpose instead of just sitting there and fizzing down the drain.

But would the soap make your drain smell as good?

I guess not.

Although they do have one called "Too Drunk to fuck" which is marketed as a hangover cure, which is the most brilliant name for a product, ever. Unfortunately I hate the way it smells.

Sometimes I wish the Interwebs had a plugin for smells.

The website just calls it "Too Drunk..." to keep it PG, but in the stores it's called "Too Drunk to F#*%".

Ok, you win with the shower fizz.

This apartment makes no sense. (a little rant here)
First, I had to get a ceiling fan in the living room fixed because some super genius hooked the motor up to a dimmer switch on the wall. Actually, all 3 ceiling fans are hooked up that way and NONE of them should be. Lowering the supplied voltage causes the motor to draw more amps and that burns out the motor.
Great job there, fuckstick!

Then, I needed to change the water filter in the fridge and when I pulled the old one out, it was coated in gasket sealer because it wasn't even made for that brand of refrigerator!
How freaking lazy do you have to be not to just go to Sears which is like 7 miles away and buy the right one?!!

Today, I needed to replace a fluorescent bulb above the vanity. Took out the bad bulb and discovered that whoever installed it had to saw off some safety tabs because they bought the wrong bulb for the fixture.
For fuck sake! And he thought he could unload this Jerry rigged dump for 300K?

It LOOKS nice but it seems like nothing in this place was done correctly.

I have light switches in the bedrooms, but no light fixtures.

My old apartment was like that. I figured the switch must control the power to one of the outlets.
Nope.
I took the switch out of the wall and there weren't even any wires connected to it.

I want this. Is that stupid? When it gets so hot I start to dream of winter.

Heh, today I was just thinking how sad it is that summer's half over....

Winter can suck it.

LMFAO! I love the product description.
...Beautiful mantel with crown molding is reminiscent of fine furniture craftsmanship.

It's actually a huge piece of crap but it's reminiscent of fine craftsmanship.

They don't say how long the magic "fuel gel" lasts either.
Seems kinda tacky to me but then again, you do get a log grate.

I won't get it. If it was 100 I would think about it, but over 300?

Ginny, I've discovered that those "emotibombs" are great for scenting a drawer. Since I never used mine (got it as a freebie somewhere), it sat in a drawer, and now the drawer smells awesome.



It's like he channels dead crazy people.

Stop bad-mouthing my favourite Hawaiian apartment! Next you'll be complaining that there isn't enough soundproofing between the floors!

And.. a sprinkler cam COULD be exciting if one of your toads shows up. (The toads that don't exist, of course)

HAHAHA!
Soundproofing between the floors is no problem at all. Why, two little kids could be jumping around up there ALL FUCKING DAY, EVERY DAY FOR TWO MONTHS and you would hardly even notice.

I love the apartment, I'm just frustrated that everything I've had to fix needed fixing because it wasn't done right in the first place.

I LOL'd in the car on the way to work this morning and had to evade the questions of 3 other passengers
