Things That Rightfully or Not Bug Me
I LOVE the smell of soap... laundry detergent and clean body soap smells are amazing. When the people who had this bouse before me moved out, they left about 60 bars of Irish Spring in the linen closet. The soap was thrown out, but I looooove sniffing in there.

So much to do and never enough time to do the important things. Now something else to put on the bucket list.

I don't know... The smell of soap surely trumps the collective body odor of the Blue Cross IT workers from India who ride the 805 SMART bus with me every afternoon. The stench is enough to gag a maggot.

Clark, all you have to say to them is something along the lines of: "Dude, folks around here bathe approximately once a day." And maybe give them a bar of Irish Spring. Or Lever 2000. Your pick.

Maybe you're right, but I'd have to go to Costco for the value pack.

I do love the smell of soap, except Irish Spring. Yucck. I do not love the smell of scented candle. My mom gives me a goddamned scented candle every year for my birthday. I send them to the Goodwill. Ungrateful bitch, I am.

In movies, after a loved one dies, the survivor often goes to the closet and buries his/her face in the clothes and takes a big whiff - supposedly of that person's scent. I always think: Do people put stinky clothes back in their closets?
Maybe they're pulling the to-be-laundered clothes from the hamper? Or maybe the movie is set in the Depression and they did put stinky clothes back on hangers. I always hate that scene because it's so cliched.
When my sister and her family moved houses, the dog slept on the ground floor and they all slept on higher floors. For the first few weeks he insisted on sleeping in the dirty clothes hamper, because it had their scents and it was the only familiar thing in the house to him.

Why naked stair running? You have an overactive imagination. Laundry is on the ground floor. Bedrooms are on upper floors. Bedrooms contain closets full of clothes.
I put "stinky" clothes back in the closet. Unless I rolled around in mud, or sprayed myself with mustard, or perspired heavily, my clothes do not need laundering between wearings.

Bedrooms contain closets full of clothes."When I remove my clothes, I drop them in the hamper in my room, then put on something else. At your sister's house I would be stripping things off near the hamper, then climbing the stairs for clean clothes. Any other method involves making an extra trip up or down the stairs.
1. In bedroom, remove dirty clothes. Drop in hamper or laundry basket. Or leave on floor for adult to pick up...
2. Adult moves around upper floors, gathering dirty clothes. Takes laundry basket down to laundry room.

I guess! They should modify the house to work like my mom's place. She has a chute in the wall, leading down to the laundry room. She can leave a basket under the bottom of it, then drop dirty clothing in from upstairs anytime she changes outfits.

Laundry chutes and dumbwaiters: both are creepy. Anyone have experience with a dumbwaiter (not in a restaurant)?
I don't think I should be bothered by this, but I really hate text talk. It annoys me to no end when people can't type an extra couple of letters. I get if you're actually texting and need to save space, but for e-mails, and general conversation, I don't see the purpose. How hard is it to type "the" instead of "da". Or substituting "wuz" with "was"? And when people say "thankssssssssss" or random shit like that and stretch it out. What's the point? It just makes them sound incredibly juvenile and gets on my nerves.
I LOVE my Laundry chute! My kids never put small children down the chute, mostly stuffed animals. I'd find piles of Beanie Babies mixed in with the dirty clothes in the basement.
I like to text "niiiiiiiiiice" and stretch it out.
Text talk should but me but it doesn't. I think language is fluid and spellings impermanent. What bugs me is when people don't use punctuation.

wow; that sounds like a pointed statement. sally! guess "i didnt know" i bugg-ed you that much? (better)
Our hamper is in the bedroom and it bugs me that my husband will drop his dirty clothes beside the hamper and not in the hamper.
bug me. Not but me.
Daw, Kevco. You know I'm joshing. I love your toneless posts. It's like my little robot friend is posting.

toneless. that is exactly how i talk. i am monotone like a robot. more like robby the robot from forbidden planet than C3PO. chicks dig it"hellomynameiskevindoyouwantsomelovin?"
I do not like the question, "How's that working for you?" Don't know why, but it just sounds jerky to me.

"niiiiice" doesn't bother me because you're putting a tone into the words, something like that. But no one actually says "Greatttttttttttttt" or "Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" in real life, so why type it for no purpose? And if they do, then I really need to get out more because I must be living under a rock.
I think people may actually say "Greeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat" or "Aweeeeeeeeeeeeesome" but the way they/you wrote it above is writhe-worthy because it is not phonetically possible to hold the consonant "t" or the end vowel "e" for that many beats.
That's the part that bugs me. If you're going to stretch it, atleast write it correctly so you don't end up looking like a dumbass.

Exactly. But somehow your use of the second person here made me feel a little bit sad.

I'm sorry! I didn't mean you as in YOU, that just seemed like the best way to phrase it. Rereading, it wasn't.
