Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Toilet paper cheque not honoured.

16 worst places to put/do stuff, from a health point of view. I think everyone's guaranteed to violate a few of these.

I only violate the blankets one and the shoes in the closet, but that one only because of my current living situation. Previously, I left my shoes at the door. I do often remove them to walk through the house and then put them in the closet though.

ETA: Ooops, and the TV/food one. I don't count the earbud one only because I know I don't do the volume thing. In fact, I stopped using my iPod on the plane for the very reason they cite.

I keep coffee in the freezer, I watch TV while eating dinner (although it's not precisely set up that way, it is possible), I do not treat my kitchen sink like it's the most contaminated area in my apartment, nor my bag like it's the most contaminated thing. But I do clean food prep surfaces before I use them, which I hope serves as a mitigating factor.

I wonder about the kitchen sink thing though. I would imagine that it would depend on how you used it. Do you have a garbage disposal there? Do you have a dishwasher? I wash my dishes in my sink--does that mean it's cleaner or dirtier than someone that uses a dishwasher?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought the Mythbusters guys disproved the idea that toilet germs infect toothbrushes on the sink.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just saw a commercial for paper-cutter thing, that has a bunch of different blades to put different sorts of decorative edges on things, for craft projects and such. To show that it's such a great alternative to scissors, it shows someone trying to cut apart one of those sheets of school pictures, and cutting through the kid's face, because making a six-inch straight cut is just so difficult.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm reminded of Joey's infomercial on Friends.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And like, who cares? How bad can it be, considering how many people have been doing it for how many years.

My argument for so many things, really.

Given people's fears of catching something in a public bathroom, it still sort of cracks me up. And makes me glad my toilet is currently in a separate room.

Mine too!

Although, who puts their purse on the floor of a public bathroom??
