you’re an idiot.

I honestly hate Carhartt’s WIP line. Basically, Carhartt is a workwear brand in America and a fashion brand in Europe, the WIP is the fashion-focused stuff made for the European market. It’s multiple times more expensive, and multiple times less durable, than their actual workwear line.

So, background, I love coffee, I briefly worked at a Starbucks inside a Target about 10 years ago, and I do occasionally go to Starbucks.

Because Starbucks, like it or not, is consistent. And that’s their big draw. Much like a Budweiser beer or a Subway sandwich. I can go to any Starbucks in any state or in any country and I know that X beverage or Y treat will taste exactly the same.

I have a friend who has this same issue. Whenever we go to see her and her family we use non-scented soap and shampoo and don’t wear cologne (I normally don’t anyway, but my husband is a fan.)

I remember reading a horrible story, on Crackle of all places. This poor woman is allergic to lavender, as in a life-threatening, call the ambulance, or I’ll die, allergic. As she pointed out, lavender is the Western World’s most popular scent. It’s so dangerous to her she can’t go out alone. But what really got to me…

Welcome to modern America, where I’m right even if it kills you.

Symptoms of a culture riddled with Anti-Intellectualism and simple greed, where our major societal institutions promote the acceptance of “Alternative Facts” (a.k.a. blatant lies) in the name of profit and politics.

At my previous job we all worked very close together in a relatively small room. One of my co-workers had migraines that were triggered by exposure to strong perfumes, so reasonably enough, management announced a new policy banning perfume/scented lotion/etc. Two of my other co-workers were so absolutely offended by…

The best ones end with blaming Obama.

A friend posted an ad for one of those sock slider things with a “ha-ha look at the lazy Americans” comment. I immediately jumped in with joy as it was the perfect thing when I had sciatica. I had just told a technician doing one of my many tests that the most painful thing I did was putting on my socks. I don’t…

I thought it was a lovely story. And you tell it so well!

Because he’s TRYING to have it ALL.

He’s basically Liz Lemon.

Sounds like they worked better than the Slap Chop I bought (from the grocery store, I’d never “call or go online!” for one). I couldn’t cut through green peppers.

I bought a box of those ironically back in college, then used them to keep the two 40s in my messenger bag form clinking together as I carried them downtown for a party. I (unsurprisingly) spilled malt liquor all over myself a few hours later and the shamwows were actually incredibly competent at cleaning up the mess.…

That’s very true. I actually work with disabled people and some of these things are good for people that have limited cognitive and/or physical skills. I think it’d be better if they were marketed for people that have particular needs. I am not the most flexible person on the face of the earth and I recently got one…

I’m not a fan either. It’s papery and it sticks in your throat when you try to swallow it. You’re the monster... ;)
