What annoys me are the people who used the paper towel on the door and then throw it on the ground outside the bathroom.
OMG, they do what?? That's really annoying!
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They are the same people who use the millimeter thin toilet seat cover thinking it's going to prevent something "yucky" from getting on them.
I'm gonna keep doing it anyway.
Not that paper towel thing--just the seat cover thing. Last couple places I worked had trash cans just inside the doors of the restrooms so you could throw away the paper towel before the door swung shut.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We are having Come as you Caption day at work today. Folks dress as a character from one of the shows we do, the more outrageous, the better. I did not dress up, but instead am a "witness" from iLaw & Order. I have a taped body outline in the doorway of my office and am telling anyone who comes by about the crime.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The losers from all this will be the vast majority of women. With full social sanction given to homoerotic activity, the historical precedent suggests that tomorrow's women will have a harder time finding and holding on to suitable men.
I must go home and warn the Mrs that gay marriage means fewer eligible bachelors. She'll be so very disappointed.
Wrap your baby in plastic wrap!
That's one fantastically terrifying picture...

I've seen it happen in public restrooms, esp. at malls.

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

Do you do it while walking around, like everyone does with cops? I want to know more about the costumes!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Man who walked into Burning Man fire loses lawsuit
I think "Duh!" is the appropriate response here....
Anthony Beninati sued the organizers of Burning Man because he said they failed to restrain him from walking into a fire. He lost the lawsuit.
Beninati's complaint stated that when he approached the bonfire, the flames were still roughly 40 feet high. He walked around the bonfire three times, each time "circl[ing] a little closer to the fire." Eventually, he walked still closer, into what was variously described as an area of "embers," "low flames," "burning remnants," and "a spot where there was fire on either side of him." Basically, he had walked inside a huge bonfire. Then, as you might have expected, he tripped on something and fell into the actual fiery part of the bonfire, burning his hands.
In his deposition, Beninati admitted he knew "fire was dangerous and caused burns" before he walked into one. He knew there was some possibility of falling into said fire. He admitted no one affiliated with the defendants asked him to walk into the fire or told him it would be safe to do so. But he testified that he did not think it would be dangerous to walk into the fire, although he knew it "was not 'absolutely safe, because there [was] a fire present.'" And, as noted, fire is hot.

Someone came as the miniseries "The Storm" with lightning bolts and a large satellite dish. One female is all dolled up as a contestant on RuPaul's Drag race and another is a butched up as an Ice Road trucker. A guy is a home repair guy for Hometime and our own Alibelle is Whitney Port.

Why does he want to kill her -- does he not like the postage meter?
My theory is that he was trying to steal postage and she stopped him. I still don't understand why that would make me buy a postage meter/
They are the same people who use the millimeter thin toilet seat cover thinking it's going to prevent something "yucky" from getting on them.
My pet peeve is when those people leave seat covers on the toilet and they're wet and I have to peel them off. Through long practice, I can use a public restroom and have my butt have the only direct contact with surfaces. Not so if I have to dislodge that damned used seat cover.
Also, why do toilet stalls open in? Could there be anything less convenient?
