Haven’t listened yet, but I am all for everyone getting on and off elevators (and buses and trains too) in the most efficient way possible. Let people get off first, then let priority passengers (i.e. elderly) get on first, and then just get in the damn elevator/bus if you’re at the doors. More than a few times, men…

I Googled. Based on my image search results, you’re supposed to dress up as a dining room chair.

My company always hires the same DJ who always plays the same tired cycle of Wobble, the Cupid song, Celebration etc. Many of us have offered up our Spotify playlists as alternatives but the person in charge of hiring the DJ does not listen.

Fair enough. The lyrics seem pretty incongruous with a wedding party, though it wouldn’t stop me from singing along.

Looked at the full list. Who plays “I Will Survive” at a wedding lol.

Many of the songs on this list don’t have a good beat for dancing either. So disappointing when the DJ messes up the vibe on a dance floor with a song that just doesn’t fit.

And those songs with a well-known lemming dance like “Wobble” are not fun anymore after the group has wobbled for the 200th time.

We buy Big Gulps full of soda from 7-11 and dump vodka in it for when we’re out at a parade or something. Also works for giant movie theater soda cups.

It surprises me how rarely people do a quick sweep of their seat before leaving a vehicle/venue. It takes a second to look back and make sure the seat and floor around it is empty before leaving. I’ve found single gloves, scarves, folders containing important documents, etc left behind on public transportation.

For late-night texting: If it’s the same group of friends using a pre-established group message thread, you can mute that conversation or turn off notifications for that thread. That way, you’ll still be in the loop but you can read the message in the morning or at your leisure.

More for me! :) Some of the Americanized versions do sound like garbage, though. I have never attempted to try those. Mayo has no business being anywhere near egg foo young, or near anything really.

We have a nice lunch area in our department. It’s quite well-used. My organization employs people who are from all over the globe, so lunchtime makes for very interesting conversations unrelated to work.

Only somewhat relevant, but I need a good sauce recipe for egg foo young. I made this the other day (with fishballs instead of vege sausage) and it was delicious, but the sauce was horrible.

I failed to read properly.

I am so disappointed that each paragraph of this article wasn’t written in the respective font that was being described.

Only half kidding.

We’ve never hired movers, but we might for next time. We ask 2-3 close friends if they’d help us move (1-bedroom apartment) in exchange for lunch and drinks. They have asked the same of us before. Having extra pairs of hands is a huge help. You will need a third/fourth person to hold the door while you struggle…

Excellent advice, this. I call it an Open First box. I will add to this list (depending on the type of bathroom one has)- a shower curtain, hooks, and a bath mat. It sucks to be all ready to shower and then realise you don’t have those things handy. Same goes for a dish sponge and some dish soap.

This is a good idea. But I do find those dinky toothbrushes so unsatisfying to brush with. For each trip, I write up a packing list and cross items out only after it has been packed into my suitcase. As it gets closer to the time for me to leave, I circle the last-minute items (toothbrush, phone charger, suitcase…

My default response for canvassers is “I already support you/your cause.” This only works if I do support or believe in their cause, of course. Or I just say “I’m headed to an appointment” and keep moving with a smile. I see so many people just outright ignore canvassers and I feel kinda bad. They can be annoying, but…

I’ve had some of the best non mom-made Indian food in London.
