I Hate These Stupid Plastic Tabs You Find On Clothing. All Of This From One Pack Of Socks

Those little connectors have nothing to do with security. They're used to attach labels to fabric without punching a hole in it. Or in this case, to hold the socks together during packaging so they don't slide all over the place and come unfolded. (I worked in production at a quilt and cold-weather clothes factory)

    In the US the ADA requires levers in commercial settings, but in residential buildings (possibly excluding some apartment buildings?) you can still use a k**b. For a fairly long time, most building codes have required that handrails for stairs have a return that reaches the wall specifically to prevent this sort of thing.Perhaps down the road we'll see a requirement for a similar return on door handle levers, but in the meantime there's definitely no prohibition on using them voluntarily.

    I sometimes use a utility knife when I open raft Mac & Cheese because the flaps are *very well* sealed. The choice for the manufacturers of some products is to either seal the box thoroughly or put the contents in a sealed bag inside a box that opens more easily. The boxes are a pain in the a*s, but that's the tradeoff to avoid wasteful packaging.

    Life is never as simple as one might want it to be. Even though most of us have a decent grasp of physics, as far as our own bodies are concerned, the universe still finds ways to remind us that even the most tiny little things can end up causing a lot of pain. Take, for example, the simple papercut.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The word alone is normally enough for most folks to have a visceral reaction. Some might shudder, others cringe at the idea of running a finger along the edge of a sheet of paper. For those who have never had to go through this, congrats. Simply put, the edges of paper, while fragile, are quite sharp and, as it turns out, we tend to have to manipulate paper with our hands.

    They’re really not that bad, though. They only get mushy if you leave them in your drink for, what, more than an hour? I think most of us finish a drink sooner than that. It’s a net positive that the straws we only use for a few minutes break down more easily afterwards, so it doesn’t pollute the planet long-term like plastic straws.

    There was a consumer show in the Netherlands that once went to the manufacturer with their package and asked the VD to open it. He could not and only said "come back here in exactly two weeks" They did and he greeted them with "here, our new packaging. Please try it." Bit lame it took a tv show to make the change, but at least the guy made no lame excuses but took responsibility and action without any hesitation.

    One might ask, why do papercuts hurt that much? After all, there is nothing “mild” about one. Most would see it as the main tragedy of the day. In short, it’s a case where our own bodies work against us. Papercuts, mercifully, are often very shallow. The downside is that this means the finger’s pain receptors are exposed to the air without blood to help limit the pain.

    Pencil erasers are worse than useless; if you need something erased you have to find a white eraser. I don't think I've used a pencil eraser in 3 decades. So I wonder why they go to the effort and cost of adding them to every pencil they make?

    Sometimes the eraser on a new pencil will do an adequate job, but a kneaded eraser is the way to go if you need to do a good job or erasing something. Gray seems to be the most common color, followed by white (until you start using it), so maybe that's what you're referring to?

    This is the cost of production outsourced to 3rd world cheap labour market, there is no quality control. They know it is damned inconvenient for the corporate purchaser to have it returned overseas and await replacements, they count on this. Every sealing machine has specific temperature controls that need to be set specifically for each different label type, thickness etc, nobody resets jack s**t and the consumer gets sub standard every damned thing.

    I'm not sure if this person understood how to open this kind of seal - it doesn't look like it. You're not supposed to pull at the clear bit all the way through! You grab it, LIFT it up perpendicular to the seal, then pull from one side to the other ALONG the line of where it's attached to the seal. Lift, then change direction and pull. It works, believe me!

    Not to mention, your fingers tend to have a lot of sensory receptors, after all, we can obtain a huge amount of information from just touch. In general, this is a good thing most days. However, when cut with a piece of paper, all those helpful little receptors are screaming at our brain that, actually, there is a major issue going on here.

    I've tried all the tricks for cooking and peeling hardboiled eggs and I've come to the conclusion that no one method works every time because every egg seems to be an entity unto itself. My solution is to place the boiled egg on a wooden cutting board, chop it in half with the single stroke of a cleaver, and scoop the two halves out of the shell with a spoon.

    I thought that was to stop the grey ring forming around the yolk? I've honestly not found it makes a difference to peelabiity and I do it every time. If you leave them in water and shake them it will make the shell loser and easier to peel. Otherwise, use older eggs.

    This is why you have to examine the package very carefully. Bacon here (US) generally has a "window" on both sides. I look at the smaller backside window and then compare it with the front. Are the striations consistent or do they change abruptly? If there's a marked change, I skip it. It's not foolproof, but most of the time it works.

    This is actually a clear sign of cheap job at the factory. If your pants or t-shirts do that, it means they weren't properly cut and low price was put as a priority over quality. This is considered unforgivable offence in tailoring - purely wrong way. To get the right fit, individual pieces of a garment have to be cut along the grain of the fabric (kind of like with wood you can tell if this plank is cut from circumference - rings - or length - grain, fabrics have those too). This ensures all the pieces move, behave the same way, even after assembly. But even though it creates a higher quality products, there's more offcuts - meaning that you need to buy more fabric. If a brand doesn't care about quality and just wants their stuff cheap, factories cut pieces of garments whichever way may use the most out of a sheet of fabric. Kind of playing puzzles ;) And that's how you end up with half your pant leg stretching into different direction than the rest 🤷‍♀️

    It's because fabric is cut in many layers, and it can shift as they go. ALSO, tension isn't always good at the mill during weaving and it needs to be straightened, and nobody bothered. So things shift. Enormously frustrating.

    Made a stock once. Guess what stayed in the strainer and what went down the drain.

    I poured fresh cat litter into the garbage bag instead of the litterbox. Took me a while to realise why something felt off.

    Same. Once when I was doing the laundry I removed some tissue paper from the pocket of a pair of pants and proceeded to throw the used tissues in the laundry machine. That was a fun half an hour cleaning bits of paper from the clean clothes...

    Depends how you are going to eat it, you might be chopping it into a dish of muesli, or making a nana sandwich. Or my own personal favourite, fried in butter with a dash of rum over ice cream

I'm not convinced it helps kids still in comprehensive school or necessary even in high school. It's a powerful and an immensely useful tool, but only if you know how to use it.

    AI hype right now make me laugh. We have no real AI software in existence and are no where near it. This is just fancy software with algorithms and likely has the same machine learning that it’s trying to detect. The best we have are engines that are processing machine learning which is not AI. We do not have AI anywhere. And it what programs we have are still producing random often wrong results. I got a great one the other day from Google “AI”. Every answer it brought was completely and utterly false which likely came from satirical or straight up fake news sites.

    Paying Off My Student Loan Counted As "Closing An Account" And My Credit Score Went Down

    This happens a lot to everyone. It can be a trouser or jacket pocket, it can be a sleeve or a belt loop, but handles and knobs ALWAYS find a way to grab on something and suddenly stop you.

    Collapsed closet shelves causing mildly infuriating mess with clothes and boxes scattered on the floor.

    Just heard a large rumble, rumble, crash upstairs. I can’t understand why this happened. There was only 1000 hangars + 1000 shoes.

    gather 'round, chrrens, it's story time! this happened to me one day. and of course before i got around to getting it sorted, my kitty decided (as she was wont to do) that this was a good time to bring in the new snake friend she'd made down in the garage. when i came back from running to get my work gloves, it was headed into the closet. i managed to barely grab its tail before it disappeared because i knew if it got into that closet, i'd never be able to find it and would therefore have to sell the house and move. but i did grab it and took it outside and released it. good times!

    Soooo i did this one in my closet. I grew up super poor and ill spare you the deets. So when i turned 31 i started making real REAL money so i then started buying a LOT of clothes and shoes. I had the same builder grade cheap closet system and it fn sux. Just go to any home store and let them know. I bought not a whole closet system but kept the racks and then fixed it with different reinforcements. While you're at it, start tossing the fast fashion clothes and shoes you no longer wear.

    Everything Is Locked Up

    Store aisles with locked glass cabinets, showcasing mildly infuriating and irritating obstacles to accessing products.

    Came for boxer briefs. I had to track someone down just to get these unlocked. I pointed at a 10 pack and said “the 10pack in medium” and they grabbed a 6 pack… of course i didnt check (which adds to my mild infuriation lol) just because i thought they saw and heard. They were both the same price so it only made sense. Didnt realize until i got home. Thought it was fine cause i had to get tums, to find the same thing… and find another associate. Finding someone took about 5mins. The funny thing is they just hand it over right after and let you take it to the front.

    A few miles makes a big difference. This Walgreens is closer to downtown, but is in an “interesting” area. I think the homeless shelter a block away probably plays a part in their restrictions. Edit: I’m in Chicago

    Window Seat With No Window???

    I’ve never been on a flight where the window seat has no window! If my job wasn’t paying for this I’d be super salty about paying for a non-existent view. But as it is, I’m just mildly infuriated.

    In my experience, window seats don't cost extra. Seats with extra leg room do, and those are either at the exit row where there may not be a window, or a bulkhead row which often doesn't have a window,, either.

    Recently bought a jar of marmalade and I opened it for the first time today to spread on my English muffin, but it looks like it’s moldy. And while I was trying to google of it was maybe just sugar crystallization I burnt the English muffin.

    There's a dance studio near me named "DanceWorks", and their creative signage shows it on three lines as "DAN", "CEW", "ORKS". For some reason my brain insists on interpreting this as "DANCE EWOKS".

Let us put a huge tablet in the center console of modern cars instead!" - " oh, what´s that? people get distracted by the tablet? Let´s make every single important function of the car digital!"

    So the style of gauge on modern cars has nothing to do with how they operate. For a long time now both styles have been electronically driven in the same way. The difference is purely in how the instrument cluster module reads it back to you. Both styles are driven by similar microprocessors and also function as essential "gateway" modules between different networks for all of your car's computers. The little sensors in the tanks commonly fail. It's a little 5 volt reference signal driven through a potentiometer with a float on its lever in the tank.

    We did an even bigger puzzle of Panini's "Gallery of Views of Ancient Rome". ONE piece was missing. Fortunately it was in a part of the painting whose pieces were mostly shades of the same color. I carefully cut a piece of cardboard to match the hole then used a magic marker with a close enough color to "paint" it. After the puzzle was framed, the "fix" could be detected only by careful inspection and only if you knew where to look.

    Factory problem here. If it popped, the seal was intact. So we have to assume that the mold was in the product at the time it was put in the jar. Look at the edge of the jar too. It has jam where you really do not want to see it since jam on the lip of the jar can cause seal failure. Return the jam and get it replaced.

    (One of my pills also shown for scale.) To make this even more infuriating, the vet also told me I'm overfeeding my dog and need to cut back on treats... Umm sir? How on earth is having to cut one of these monstrosities into 8(!) slices like a gd pie and then serve them inside individual treats going to cut down, like at all? Did I mention she needs to have one of these things TWICE DAILY??

    It's chewable and flavored, so they think it's a treat.

    Sometimes they think it's a treat; I've had my dogs snub chewables more than once.

    I have a 7 pound pom and her heartworm pill are enormous. The box says 'chewable', but she doesn't have all that many teeth left. During the years she was recovering from a major illness I got her meds as oral solutions that I could just squirt down her throat.

    They Clearly Designed It For This To Happen

    I’ve never once dropped my AirPods v3 without both of them flying out and going off a long way in different directions.
    It’s so obvious to me that Apple have deliberately designed them to do this, in the justified hope that many of them will find their way into drains, under the wheels of passing cars etc., so you have to go and buy another exorbitant pair.

    I don’t have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with caps that are tightened so much you will tear your hands up trying to unsuccessfully open them. I have to use one of those gripper th8ng—-and even that doesn’t work on them sometimes! One time I gave up and used an old fashioned church key can opener (just Google it) to punch a big enough hole in the top to pour the soda into my glass through it.

    I might be alone , but I like this. I used to drop the caps a lot, and because I'm easily distracted I would bend down to pick up the cap and invariably pour out the contents over myself or the floor. I've also just realised that I use plastic bottles very rarely these days.

    Just in case you're not from the EU: new EU regulations this year have introduced caps that are much more difficult (damn near impossible at times) to tear off. This is to ensure people recycle the bottle+cap.

    This is why you always buy enough for a project from the same dye lot. There is simply no way to guarantee a natural fibre like cotton will take the dye the same way every time. Patterns typically indicate the number of skeins needed for this reason. Leftovers should be used for small areas/projects where an exact match doesn't matter.

    Give me an "old fashioned" appliance over smart appliances any day of the week.

    Calling anything connected to the internet smart is a gross exaggeration.

    Why does anyone need an over that displays the weather??? I will NEVER buy a "smart" appliance. Never ever.

    what the? An oven with a monitor that can show cooking recipes and the weather? can you spell over-engineered? just imagine: Mom: " Okay! I just need to shove the chicken into the oven and dinner should be ready in half an hour. Oh, an update... Nevermind then."

    I hate the Casio ones, they are always different than the TI and HP ones. Either needs to be put in decimal mode, or sometimes if you hit Enter again it will give the value.

    You can set them to mathematical or decimal mode. But you can guarantee that the format of the answer you want will be the other mode.

    who says that´s the companies fault? it could just as well have been caused by rough handling from the delivery company or the stock workers in the store.

    Went To A Beer Festival With Standardized Cups, Turns Out The 250ml Mark Was Only Around 227ml

    Went To A Beer Festival With Standardized Cups, Turns Out The 250ml Mark Was Only Around 227ml

    Went to this beer festival with a lot of different local breweries back in December. And basically they were cheating everyone by 10%. I'm not even sure if it was on purpose or just happen because they bought the cheapest beer cups they could find with their label printed on it... But they were cheating nonetheless. Also I filled the cup slightly above the 250 mark just to be "fair". But still only 227ml at the mark.

    Per the almighty Google... "1ml is equal to 1g. This only applies to pure water. Other liquids have different densities."

    I don't think that's beer in the cup. Water, maybe, @ 1g/ml excluding the cup.

    One would hope that the line shows where to stop pouring beer when the beer level reaches there but foam is above it and when settled it actually comes sto 250. But better to just use a line then and not lable it that way

    Wife Got This Bag For A Baby Shower. Some Animals Don’t Seem To Represent The Letter

    A for “An Emu”? L for “L’hare”? Unless we’re crazy… it’s mildly infuriating that they dont all match! If we’re crazy… that’d be mildly infuriating too.

    Maby because the ABC is not meant to be read in english. For instance in French, A is for Autruche, L for Lapin.

    Although that Ostrich is definitely an Emu, and the Iguana is definitely a Chameleon. So still infuriating.

    It's definitely a combination of French and English. A - Autriche, B - Baliene, L - Lapin, M - Mouton, R - Renard, S - Singe. I'm not sure what type of bird U is though x
