39 requests. 150 requests! Now I feel bad because no one asks me to be their friend. Not even authors. (Slime of the earth?) It's ok, I'll just hang out and bum cigarettes and highballs from my non-friends.

[Félix]

I don't get very many. One every six weeks or so.

[Sally, la reina]

I burn a lot of bridges IRL.

[Félix]

Arsonist disguised as mild-mannered English teacher?

Don't feel bad, Cheri. I don't get many friend requests, either. I really feel quite unloved and unlovable. Between you and me, I think it's because I'm not grammatically correct enough to be considered one of the in crowd.

Let's go out and smoke and drink and talk about them.

Amen, I dumped three this morning. Two authors and some guy from India who listed under favorite books, "What books you like to read". Uh, no, we want to know what books YOU like to read!

When you ask for a coffee of the day and even though there are three kinds, the barista doesn't ask you which one you want. She pours you the Pike Place roast, which is the mildest, and by the time you notice what she's doing the cup is filled and you don't ask for a replacement because you don't like to be wasteful.

Ask me, employee.

When the guy upstairs stomps about, and the light fittings in my apartment shake, rattle, and roll.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yeah this bugs me. Rightfully. Extremely rightfully.

I was at Ace today and stopped by the drain unclogger aisle. I was planning on picking up some Drano, until I saw the shelf tags, which announced that effective 2012 Illinois law must keep a record of whoever buys caustic substances, like Drano and Liquid Plumr.

To buy this product, you must present a photo ID. Also "the new law requires those who purchase industrial drain cleaners and other caustic materials to sign a log with their name, address and signature; the date and time of the transaction; and the brand, product name and net weight of each item." Why this inane requirement? Because two Illinois women, five years ago, had Drano thrown in their faces. Police hope if this ever happens again, they'll be able to trace the attacker by checking all the store logs.

I decided not to buy the Drano.

[evie]

Yeah. Forget it. Isn't there something you can do with bi- carb of soda to unclogg drains? I seem to remember my mother telling me about it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Baking soda and white vinegar is supposed to help keep drains clear. It won't really help a truly clogged drain, though.

[Scout]

I'm so fucking tired of being inconvenienced because of other people's insanity. Next thing you know, you won't be able to buy a bag of sand without an ID because someone somewhere had it thrown in his face and was blinded.

The bad guys in this scenario are the lawyers who make their money by encouraging people to sue. And the media who take a local incident and make it into national news, which it's not. And the legislators who fall for this shit because they're afraid of offending someone, and if they pass a stupid law, it makes them look like they're at least doing something.

[Amy]

And it never occurs to these law makers that someone will simply use a fake ID to buy this stuff?

[Cynthia]

We have a registry thanks to all the meth heads in IA--you must produce a driver's license and sign your name to buy decongestants. Big pain in the butt for those of us with allergies. I switched to a different allergy med so I could purchase more that 10 stupid pills at a time. Fuckers.

I have the same problem and know I must be on the "meth users list" because Sudafed PE does not work for me (I'm convinced it's a placebo) and everyone in my household has allergies.

[Félix]

Drano doesn't kill people. People do.

[Cynthia]

Right, Felarry. People with guns.

[Félix]

If you criminalize Drano, only criminals will have Drano.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Criminals, and me. I will go to Canada to buy it if I have to.

[evie]

Who has a stash of Drano? Lg needs some.

[Cynthia]

I used to keep mine in the garage, but in this heat it's a fire hazard.

[Amy]

Question: If you buy Drano online from an out of state vendor, are they still required to gather the information/ report who is buying?

[Félix]

The ATF is scanning the Interwebs for posts like that one, Amy.

Only if you live in Elk Grove Village, which buys the most Drano of any municipality in America.

[Amy]

I can still buy Drano if I need to, but I just don't understand the mindset that we should treat everyone like a potential criminal.

Seems to me there is more of a danger of identity theft from a dishonest employee stealing driver's license numbers or credit card information...

[Amy]

Oddly enough, I grew up in EGV.

I know, I got it from your profile.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I bet if everyone in Illinois went to buy Drano on about 10 individual trips over 10 days, the rage from the people in line behind them as everyone stood waiting for all this information to be filled out in the store would cause an immense backlash and the law would be repealed.

[Amy]

Ha! I forgot what was on my profile. I think I should make some stuff up so I sound more interesting.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

There is NOTHING boring about Elk Grove Village! Except the village!

I kid. Totally kid.

But what if we lived in Colorado and ordered guns and ammunition on line, well, hey that would be just dandy. Carry on.

I'm ordering guns and ammo online right now. YEAH BABY !!! FREEDOM.

(Okay, not really. I'm trying to declutter, not reclutter.)

Something that bothers me is: When people that you know try to torment you on every turn. They laugh in your face and stab you in the back for no reason at all. They have so much hatred in their hearts towards you.

That's an ugly thing. I've had to work with people like that and they've turned on me when I wouldn't join them in persecuting someone else that they didn't like. It's a form of bullying and should not be tolerated.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

People who are very unfriendly. People that you know, not well, but you semi-know them, maybe you see them every 3-4 days, and they can't be bothered to say hello or smile when you run into them. I don't get that. It's not about being extroverted, hey I'm an introvert, but I will still smile and say hello if I semi-know you. This really bugs me.

When I have to wash the electric fry pan after dinner.

Washing electric fry pans sucks.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I've avoided buying one for that reason.

[[deleted user]]

Why is it that washing the electric fry pan is so annoying? It annoys me too! I am glad I'm not alone.

Amy thank you for the comment. That is true, it is a form of bullying. They want you to be in the click with them talking about people and acting the way the way that they do. They don't like you, the just try to use you.

Lobstergirl, people that act like that have issues. They obviously have a problem. People will pass you as though they dont even see you. That is rude and inconsiderate.

Because it usually needs soaking first in boiling water,a bit of spatula work to get some yuk off and then a balancing act so the plug hole bit doesn't get wet while it's washed.
