Okay, fine, I’ll take one for the team:

I have a gripe similar to Scocca’s: recipes that tell you to start sauteing onion and garlic in the pan at the same time. Do this, and you will have either barely-cooked onion, or badly burnt garlic.

Exactly. I was too broke to buy paper towels, a few months ago, and was honestly stunned at how much better rags are at cleaning countertops, stoves, surfaces. I grew up in a typical American family and had only ever used paper towels for these particular tasks. I can afford them, now, but only use them very…

Alternatively, accidentally take way too many napkins from Chipotle any time you go and then you both have napkins and will never run out.

Dad...is that you?

Caramelized onions make great hot dog toppings.

ok listen. we use paper towels. whatever. but those of you using paper towels in the bathroom instead of hand towels are some bougie ass tree killing mfers.

(Just don’t get the “eco” brands that feel like newspaper.)

Bless the Surfrider Foundation. Great people all around the world.

I’ll do it sometimes. Kind of upsets me when people leave trash at park table and the can is like 10 feet away. And now that I’m on a rant. Dog Owners, when your hiking on a trail and your dog poops, I appaud you for picking it up in a doggy bag but you do have to take it with you too. Leaving little plastic bundle of…

People 100% think I’m overly excited all the time because I use the (!) to keep from sounding snarky a lot.

Nick, I liked the way you handled this. Very different from some of the other pieces and less, “this bothers me so it should bother you”.

Folgers has a special place in my heart. It’s the first coffee I’ve ever had and still drink to this day with my dad and it’s 20x better than the free, bland sludge my office serves. I depend on its mediocrity precisely because going out to coffee shops for fancy coffee is my personal treat. Don’t mess with my cup of…

Yes! I took my mom hiking near Harper’s Ferry and she found a water bottle in the river and was SO MAD about it she picked it up and carried it for miles until she found a recycling bin.

I’ve always done the nature version of this. I call it minimalist conservation. If I’m out on a trail or at a campsite and I clean up completely after myself, I like to look for just one or two pieces of trash to pack out with me. I figure if everyone took care of themselves and picked up just a few pieces of extra,…

I think it’s a huge red flag that this topic is coming up so frequently after a few weeks. Obviously you’re both going at a breakneck speed to be discussing life-long commitments (which children are) after such a short time, and that desperation is only going to make one of you cave and regret the outcome forever if…

agreed. it was a successful 7-year relationship.

That dude is just SO punchable. :|

Ditto. I think they should’ve worked through / transitioned away from the whole “FAKE ATTY!” thing way sooner — I got pretty tired of it. I’ll still watch it, I just play online bridge or kakuro during the Mike scenes. :\
