I actually prefer Diet Water over regular water. Diet water makes me feel less bloated than regular water.
 
Safety can gas & diesel nozzles. People end up spilling more freaking gas & diesel, in turn creating a hazard much more than the fumes that are vented off of a regular nozzle.... IMO I get their point. Unfortunately they suck ass

I think the idea was to prevent machine wear. The machines were expensive, so using an expendable winder made some sense; I think... I don't know how delicate the machines were. I never watched many movies.

this.

VCR heads could get fucked rather regular with daily use. That, and the machine could eat tape quite easily. Better to stick your cassette in a separate device to avoid any catastrophic blown loads in your pricey investment.
 
Antibacterial soap. There's no evidence that it cleans any better than bar soap and no standard for what constitutes "antibacterial". As for the "but bacteria grow on top of soap bars!" alarmist, that's true, but the thing about bar soap is that it comes off in layers. So the bacteria, which only inhabit the surface layer, get washed away with everything else that was on your hands.

In the meantime it's typically more expensive then your standard bar soap.

Not only that, but we would always wait until the last minute to return movies, so as to extend the rental time as long as possible...having a rewinder was nice because we could zap 2 or 4 movies quickly & then run down to Blockbuster to swap them out. That and having a large family meant procrastination in returning them anyway :biggrin:

They should have put the rewinders in cars with a cigarette lighter adapter. That way you could rewind it on the way back to the movie rental place.

I usually toss on a pair on disposable gloves when working on cars, especially changing oil. It's great to drain the pan and just toss out the gloves afterwards rather than spend 10 minutes scrubbing and marginally increasing your chances of getting skin cancer.

Now the strange part about gloves at the doctors office. Isn't the point of gloves to not spread germs and at the same time minimize the damage done to hands by washing them 100 times a day? Yet I see doctors using gloves and washing hands after any exams anyways.

I use this stuff called Invisible Glove when I work on cars. It actually works pretty well at helping clean my hands when I finish whatever I am working on.

Disposable gloves help when someone has been cut or burned.
Per the op certian bacteria can live in that dried environment significantly longer then the at most 20 seconds between you trying and sitting down.
That said if its dirty enough to need it you probably shouldn't be sitting down anyways.

Unless you have open sores or cuts on your ass who cares?
 
Truck nuts... you have to be a special kind of stupid to put this on any vehicle.

Although, it would be funny to see truck nuts and those ridiculous eyelashes on the same vehicle. 😀
