sticky residue outrages are the most aggravating kind.
my car was a complete disgrace and i had to drive someone in it for work, it was embarrassing, but luckily they turned out to be not car proud either. i cleaned it after that though because having surveyed it through a stranger's eyes i knew it was beyond the pale.

last month I had to drive a professor in my car unexpectedly and it was in dire need of a wash but also full of dog hair so I played it off by asking if she was allergic. She wasn't, and told me she had two dogs so i turned the conversation to asking about her dogs to make her think my car was ok because hey, we both like dogs!

my car is full of coffee spills and ashes. i've never had it washed, nor changed the oil. i am an irresponsible car owner and i hate driving people.
― lxy, Saturday, 1 November 2014 12:13 (nine years ago) link
work people, that is. i would drive you people all the livelong day.
― lxy, Saturday, 1 November 2014 12:27 (nine years ago) link
ok lxy you need to at least change the oil! something i'm working on at age 30 is being a little cleaner. i'm going to go clean the bathroom even though it's not dirty because it's my favorite thing to clean

I am so weird about cleaning. I always wash the dishes and clean the stove/counters but i hate sweeping the floor!
― tehresa, Saturday, 1 November 2014 21:47 (nine years ago) link
lol that's exactly what i do. dishes, stovetop, countertops, sink get done occasionally but floor is never done.
― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 1 November 2014 22:02 (nine years ago) link
I have a hard time going to bed if there are dishes in the sink, but the floor? Pffft.

my parents' oven is far too advanced for my poor self and after baking my dressing for 20 min longer than the recipe indicated and playing with the temp we finally discovered it was at 280 not 350. Nervous it is going to be terrible.

i bet it was perfectly fine, great even. happy thanksgiving!

what does this Douglas Fir tree think it's doing, shedding this much
pine needles everywhere
I have to vacuum the whole house, sweep the porch, and sweep the sidewalk
outrage

I bought decorations from the stall a friend has set up and I hung up a holly bough with prolonged difficulty and got covered in fake snow and glitter and I have not been allowed to wash it off all evening because it is too delicious in the eyes of herself

finished painting my room. finished in that i am just tired of painting but i will continue to find light spots and sloppy cutting in for the rest of my life but oh well! also patched hole in wall caused by burglar almost a year ago but didn't measure it before buying the patch and it's a patch for a large hole. i could have done it with just mesh but i got a steel plate which i can see.
in non-outrage news i painted my room! also hung heavy mirror from wall. fun drilling.
― spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 7 December 2014 23:40 (nine years ago) link
Yay painting! I've been meaning to do that for at least a year...

working on some (one) home projects this week. which mostly means looking at people's dumb blogs about how to hang shelves and make furniture. i need to totally redo my kitchen but don't have money, which has led to me procrastinating with even the small project of putting up shelves in this useless corner of my kitchen so i can get things out of the way. because why put up shelves when i'm going to redo it...in 5 years. i got some plywood and track shelving and just did it yesterday. it doesn't look too pretty but there's finally nothing on the floor! the outrageous part of this is how bad i am at drilling screws into wood. i'm gonna need some new drill bits as i am ruining mine by drilling incorrectly. i finished the screws with a screwdriver.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 1 January 2015 20:30 (nine years ago) link
also i'm going to make my own coffee table. let's see how stupid this looks!
oh also ordered curtains from west elm + blackout panels for my bedroom because those outrageous jerks from BGE said i had to let them take down the tree behind me because it was growing into the power lines and now the flood lights from the masonry business make my room not so dark!!!!
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 1 January 2015 20:33 (nine years ago) link
Pilot holes are essential for wood drilling imo. I'm outraged about that tree!
― jaq, Thursday, 1 January 2015 21:13 (nine years ago) link
good idea, harbl! they are taking down seventy trees in my neighborhood because because of the crazy "microburst" last summer. A big and beautiful tree used to block the dumpster behind my building but now it is in full view :(
― tehresa, Thursday, 1 January 2015 22:43 (nine years ago) link
i did do pilot holes! i think i just hold the drill wrong maybe. idk.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 1 January 2015 23:30 (nine years ago) link
Rub bar soap on the screw threads maybe? If the bit is slipping off the screw head, it might be at an angle instead of aligned straight into it but it could be that the threads are seizing up.
