I have a coworker with two sisters and he’s the only guy that washes his hands ever. He’s even quietly admitted that he’ll use the women’s restroom here at work when it’s safe to do so (early morning/late night) because it’s actually clean.

I would be uncomfortable with a stranger, male even, offering me a tampon. My mind goes to all the places that any person could tamper with it and make me sick.

But, thanks to modern medicine my periods are hardly a whisper. Thanks Loryna!

I have also found that men with at least a few sisters are delightfully tidy and hygienic people.

The reason LATCH isn’t in the center on most vehicles largely has to do with auto manufacturers being cheap. There’s a long technical explanation here, but suffice to say they could absolutely add a third set in the center seat and prohibit using the LATCH positions in the outer positions while the center set is in…

Also white, and I once had a major brain fart at the self checkout and got all the way to my car before realizing that I hadn’t paid for my cart full of stuff. I quietly slipped back into the store and paid and nothing ever came of it.

Funny thing is that the cause of the brain fart was irritation at how a minority was…

A friend once crashed in my 6' x 6' walk-in-closet-converted-to-an-office for three months. I just tossed a shower rod and opaque curtain in the doorway and she made it home. It was kind of hilarious, actually, so I’m not going to hate on this guy living in a box.

I was like...were this around ten years ago I wouldn’t have had a job teaching people how to install car seats.

(not going to lie...my friend recently got a Click Tight-equipped seat for her oldest and I might have said “holy shit...that’s all?” in the back of a minivan)

It’s LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) and yes, it’s fantastic. Before it we had to account for the type of seat belt retractor, the latch plate, where the seat belt was mounted, etc. and handle it accordingly, sometimes with extra hardware that we had to keep a supply of. This new system is so much…

I wouldn’t give up wrenching on things if I were pregnant, I’ll tell you that.

Oh, duh, yes, I see what you’re after here. “Car seat” is very commonly used to refer to what you call a “safety seat” though. My money is on a *safety seat* being what Chrissy is referring to here.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean - a safety seat for the baby sounds identical to a car seat for me. Unless you’re talking about the infant car seats with the carrier portion that snaps in and out of a base, yeah, that’s two pieces that need to be used correctly.

But really, with LATCH and the fact that she’s…

I know I have a bias*, but with car seat designs now they’re crazy easy to install correctly. I’m confused about that tweet.

* I was a car seat tech for a number of years and still have my hands on many car seats. They’re significantly easier to install than they were back in the day *shakes cane*

kitschy commemorative memorabilia

I’m in the grays but it’s worth a try...

I received a recall notice for my 2010 Fit’s airbag and the notice said that dealers would have the replacement parts “this summer”. Do I casually call up my friendly local Honda stores weekly starting on the summer solstice and ask if they have the parts, or will I be further…

Got the recall notice on my 2010 yesterday :/ I’m keeping it though - it’s the best little hauler that might try to kill you ever.

There were kids in the crashed car, so instead of my friend leaving them as is and waiting for EMTs to arrive and assess she uninstalled the car seats with the kids still in them, and removed them from the car. Essentially she moved a patient who had the potential for spinal/head injuries without training or any…

Neither happened to my friend and 2/3 of her kids had legit full hairy mohawks at birth.

But can you imagine all the icky noises a joint makes during this procedure? <shiver>

A friend witnessed a broadside crash the other day and was bragging on FB about “unlatching the car seats from the car”. Seriously, I don’t know what goes through people’s minds.
