Women, why do some of you pluck your eyebrows out until they're so thin that they look almost non-existent? I don't understand.

These idiots are doing it wrong.

I'm a big fan of jaywalking, but the rule around the world is that if you jaywalk, the onus is on you the jaywalker to adapt to the environment, not for cars to adapt to you. You can't expect to break the rules, but expect the cars to follow the rules. Otherwise everyone gets confused and that's when bad things happen. A good jaywalker knows he can't interrupt traffic, so he weaves around it. If a car has to stop, or even slow down, in the middle of the road for you, you're being a crappy jaywalker.

The better question is why, after plucking them out, they feel the need to draw then back on?

Some of us women don't understand that either.

It's the same with guys who overly "shape" their facial hair. The chin strap makes literally everyone who has ever rocked it look like a wiener.

Please where at least a towel in the change room. Nobody wants to see your junk as you do the captain morgan and talk to your buddy about your turkey dinner last night.

I understand moving can take a ton of effort, but how about not staggering 3 vehicles all through the open area of a parking lot and making it impossible for every car there to get out? I had to wait almost 10 minutes for one of them to get back from whatever unit they were in, and even then there was junk on the ground that I was on the verge of running over to back out.

Our complex isn't even that bad for visitor parking, but they can't be troubled the ones nearby?

I don't know if this had been implemented across all theaters, but I just saw a movie at Chinook, and the cloth seats have all been replaced with vinyl. I don't know if they could have chosen a worse material to sit on for 2 hours in a warm room.

It RGMG when I accidentally buy the wrong size paper tower.

I want to buy the roll like this



But instead I bought the one that tears off a full size. I am too lazy to cut it in half, but I also feel bad for wasting so much paper.

All paper towel is a waste so you are only wasting twice as much paper as normal.

I cant even use paper towel without feeling bad because growing it was ingrained that using for anything was a waste. We always had paper towel, not sure if it ever got used.

Is it really that much of a waste? Instead of using some paper towel, you're wetting a cloth, and then rinsing it. Just because the "waste" isn't visible in your garbage can, doesn't mean you didn't waste something.

No idea, its just been ingrained in my head through 18 years of parenting.

In general though I would bet paper towel is more wasteful. You are looking at about a 1/2 a liter of water used plus whatever fraction of laundry. In the production of paper products large amounts of water is used. In addition you have all the transportation impacts of moving the paper towel to your house. Rather than water which is pumped locally. I know for cloth vs plastic diapers cloth is more energy efficient. Not sure anout paper towels.

Me too. I kind of feel bad after reading these latest gear grinders. It's so damn convenient and awesome for so many little spills and messes, though!

Plus, it's cleaner! The amount of bacteria that dish towels accumulate is crazy. Unless of course you're changing it every day, but I'd just as well go the paper towel route.

I use bottled water like it's going out of style. Yeah it's only tap water but damn it's so convienent to stick a few bottles in my golf bag or in my vehicle if i have to make a trip into Calgary for the day. I blame the flood and all the free cases of water they handed out for starting me on this trend.

If you own more than one dish towel, and clean the dirty ones with your regular laundry then this shouldn't be an issue. However, when milk spills or the cat coughs up a hairball, I agree the paper towels are convenient.
