  • At one point in my childhood I had noticed that it’s easier to keep the toilet brush clean if you brush while flushing. If everything goes well (not always) then by the end of the process you have both a clean toilet and a (mostly) poop free toilet brush.

    I know it’s contained better when you close the lid first… But the wasted potential always hurts a little.



  • Smokers routinely light up at bus stops, elevators, parks, restaurants and even hospitals.

    Even in Western countries there’s not much you can do. I keep seeing jerks smoking at bus and metro stops (or right next to/outside those), but what can you do? You won’t call the police for such a small thing, and even if you did for some weird reason, the smoker would be long gone.

    Sure, you can ask them to not smoke there. One: good luck with that; two: not like they would stop doing that from then on.

    “My mother told me not to meddle in others’ business, even though she has lung cancer,” Ms. Zhang said in an interview.

    Yeah, once they smoke under your nose in a place they shouldn’t, they make it your business, as well.

    Haha, I used to work at Neo Bankside. One of my Italian coworkers instructed customers to get to Suh-duck station.

    I also find the English custom of putting an 's at the end of whatever business (even when it’s not there by default) quite cute. The same happened when another colleague referred to the store as Fenwick’s. First I thought it was the local pronunciation of Phoenix.


  • Most likely I’ll live the rest of my life not owning a car, using public transport, mainly.

    If most of the humans were decent I would be absolutely furious that people still use cars to get to work.

    Most humans are absolutely disgusting. Smoking right under the no smoking sign at the stop, blasting TikToks, shitty (or, in fairness, any kind of) music from their phone speakers, getting on the tube without a mask while coughing, sneezing at everyone in the crowded carriage, taking up two seats just because why not either by placing their stuff on the seat or just manspreading, having phone conversations on loudspeakers… I could go on forever.

    I will keep using public transport till I kick the bucket, but FUCK I totally understand everyone who prefers to have their own private space.
