on tuesday i missed the garbage truck because i thought it would always come at 11 pm and it came at 7:30. so i had to keep my garbage inside until today and i had a lid on it so the flies were manageable but when i went to tie it up it was the WORST garbage i have ever smelled, it smelled like a baby's diaper x10000, i thought i would pass out, i was gagging, it was unbelievable. i did get it outside but now the smell is still lingering even though i sprayed the garbage can with lysol. UGH what an outrage

when i lived in japan i always knew when summer was at hand bcz our building's garbage would get the WORST fish stench. oh it'd get in my nose for hours, so awful
― buttimore (jergins), Saturday, 27 June 2009 00:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh god the worst was living next to the live poultry store in bushwick my first summer in nyc. It was a hot one, with many 100 degree days, and with no a/c our options were a) stagnant 100 degree chicken air, or b)turn on fan & blow hot chicken breeze all over the room. On top of it, when the garbage truck came, the act of picking up the bags that had been cooking on the street all day and throwing them into the truck where they were mixed up with all the other hot trash would release this pugnant stench into the air that once woke me up and almost made me vomit it was so bad. What an outrage!

Lol pugnant? I don't know if I meant pungent or repugnant there but lol.
― tehersa (tehresa), Saturday, 27 June 2009 00:34 (fourteen years ago) link
EW hot chicken breeze!

why don't you let a TOFURKEY rot in the fridge for a month then put it in the garbage and leave it out in the hot sun for a week
― buttimore (jergins), Saturday, 27 June 2009 01:54 (fourteen years ago) link

― lxy, Saturday, 27 June 2009 02:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh snap
It still wouldn't smell as bad as poultry I imagine. Something about animal flesh is just so prone to rancid stenchiness. Also remember that it was a live poultry store, so you got the smell of animal waste, too.
― tehersa (tehresa), Saturday, 27 June 2009 02:48 (fourteen years ago) link
uh, ok, got it let's move on now, k?

Yeah, ok.
Btw not so much an outrage but a word to the wise: if you buy fat free brownie mix do not expect brownies but rather spongey chocolate rubber.

lol @ fat-free brownies!

the locus of outrage is in the initial plan, not in the unsurprising result.

Last night I found a slug on my lettuce! It was a little outrageous but I calmed down and took him outside to roam free.http://twitpic.com/8fqqh

Even after a good talking to and clear instructions on how a roomba would do it, the vacuum cleaner is still sitting forlornly out in the main room, just can't manage to put itself away in the closet.
― jaq, Monday, 29 June 2009 03:38 (fourteen years ago) link
it is outraged
(hi jaq, welcome back, we missed you!)
― lxy, Monday, 29 June 2009 04:18 (fourteen years ago) link
i discovered my 'last peeler you'll ever buy' in the trash can under a mound of vegetable peelings, and to add an extra layer of outrage it was my second last peeler you'll ever buy, my first last peeler you'll ever buy got thrown out the first week i owned it and i didn't realise in time.
(hi jaq!)
― estela, Monday, 29 June 2009 06:12 (fourteen years ago) link
Hi Jaq!
Estela, I think you have a peeler problem. I will attempt to dream up a solution to this outrage.
Also reminds me: need to buy vacuum cleaner.
― tehersa (tehresa), Monday, 29 June 2009 07:06 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe jaq's roomba can be programmed to roam over to your place occasionally. for that matter, maybe jaq's roomba can be programmed to roam over to MY place occasionally.
stela, maybe it would be more economical and less outrageous if you just bought the disposable peelers from now on.
― lxy, Monday, 29 June 2009 15:04 (fourteen years ago) link
oh i thought it was just a normal vacuum and jaq was trying to shame it into roomba-like behavior by telling it all about how a roomba would go about cleaning the floors and then stowing itself neatly away.
domestic outrage resolved: working internets!
― tehersa (tehresa), Monday, 29 June 2009 18:07 (fourteen years ago) link
^^ this
I felt bad for my outrage though and apologized as well as for yelling when it sucked up the belt from my robe.
hooray for working internets!
― jaq, Monday, 29 June 2009 18:18 (fourteen years ago) link
(I am actually afraid of roombas tbh)
― jaq, Monday, 29 June 2009 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link
i guess i was having a domestic fantasy. also, i'm a careless reader. oopsie.
i do like the idea of a roomba trundling about the city and letting itself into our homes to work while while we sit with our feet up, cocktails in hand.
"oh hi, thanks for coming over. i'll just be out here on the porch if you need anything. say, next time you pass through the kitchen would you mind bringing me that pack of smokes on the counter? i'd hate to get in your way."
