Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

My sunglasses went kaputt!

They were only $12 but still... you have any idea how hard it is to find specs that fit my gigantic head?

See, they were fine, but I noticed one of the earpieces' rubber pad was kinda turning yucky orange-brown from (I assume) behind-the-ear nastiness. Odd that it was only the right hand pad. But anyway, I got some rubbing alcohol, swished the arm around in it, set to scrubbing with some cotton...

and the whole durn thing just disintegrated in my hand :confused:

I guess the nastiness was the only thing holding it together.

...or it was made of alcohol-soluble plastic. Or rubber that dried out and crumbled.
I guess the lesson is to use hair shampoo (shampoo only, NOT shampoo/conditioner) to clean eyeglasses.

I do terrible things to sunglasses including sitting on them, leaving them places etc etc so I made a dollar store rule for them. I still destroy a good ten pairs a year but at least the cost isn't bad.

I hate flying commercial. I feel so naked without my knife.

Are you sure that feeling isn't from the lack of clothes?

At least you don't live in the UK.

I can commiserate on this feeling. I use mine almost everyday, and my muscle memory tricks me when I am not carrying it.[DOUBLEPOST=1497282856,1497282781][/DOUBLEPOST]

My favorite pair of shorts has developed a hole in the pocket. I'll try to patch it tonight, but my record with needle and thread has as many disasters as successes. Darn it (no pun intended), I need a new live-in seamstress!

No one cares how bad the patch job on a pocket looks.

Just find a hooker who sews.

You don't understand how bad I am at this. I'm as likely to make the hole bigger, or sew the pocket to the leg... at the top.[DOUBLEPOST=1497374688,1497374633][/DOUBLEPOST]

OOooh that reminds me... maybe I should check taskrabbit, maybe someone in my neighborhood can do it. Less likely to get arrested that way, at least.

In fact it would be a bonus if she does not.

My bartender ain't wearing no burka. She ain't wearing pants, either

At least your shorts start with functional pockets.

GasBandit · Jun 13, 2017

I mean, I do have a tailor I take bigger stuff, but I try not to take little stuff. When the pocket on my favorite hawaiian shirt ripped, it took him weeks to fix because he was so busy.

That's why they invented fabric glue. You can pick one up from Home Depot or Target or something.

Even double sided seam tape would do the trick.

Really? You've never heard of this?
...well, my mother-in-law was a seamstress, so I suppose I'm more likely to have heard about it.

Thinking I should have just kept on wiping everything. After the third profanity-laced tirade aimed my way, I should have taken the hint. I get it. I'm not one of the cool kids. I'm sorry I don't consume my pop culture in the "correct" way, or root for the right team of the moment. I'm sorry I don't work a shift that makes you happy about yourself.

I'm sorry to have trespassed on your time. I'll see myself out.

Pretty sure the majority likes having you here.
Come back when you're ready.
Shame about the depublishing, though. I hate that. Even moreso than when @GasBandit's hotlinked images vanish.

Squidleybits · Jun 14, 2017

I must have missed something major? I hate to see anyone feel that they need to leave.

I get my teeth kicked in enough at work. No need to subject myself to it in here. So fine. You win, @Zero Esc. You win, @Jay. You thought those posts were about you and had to lash out. This one actually is.

Yeah, don't act so coy.

You started it first by sprinkling "Disagrees" passive-aggressively to anyone who's opinion you didn't agree with... in the Sports Forum of all places. When you spam disagree you sometimes bite more than you can chew.

My original post was directed to the board about how unhappy I was with how things played out in the Stanley Cup finals (and I'm not even a huge fan of either team, just hockey in general) then you triggered my response by :

A) Clicking Disagree to my post because you obviously didn't agree.
B) Responding sanctimoniously right after my post about the subject I wrote about (which granted you didn't quote... but see point A...and yeah...you were covering the subject regarding what I wrote).

Word of the wise, if you plan to discuss things in that tone, you get replied to... in tone. Were you expecting a quick whistle again?

You learn to deal with your actions or you simply don't rub your "win" in the faces of other sports fans who are very unhappy with the result they just finished watching.

Don't go whining about it elsewhere and threaten to take your ball to go home for extra hugs and sympathy.

I go through 2 of these a year, minimum. Glasses are made to be replaced.

I hate sunglasses. Maybe it's because I never used them until I got contacts in college. I just don't like the muddy shade they make the world.

I've seen pictures and I've spoke to you on Vent.... I'm quite aware.

Try the lighter tints, the yellow ones are great.
