What first world problem did you have today?

[Red Squirrel]

Never tried to use ice to make ice cream but makes sense. Cheaper than liquid nitrogen.

I have to take a poop and have just a little bit of toilet paper left. I buy the big packs of TP from Costco and keep them in my rented garage a block away from my place. I bring a 6-pack into the condo and store them under my bathroom sink. Well there is no more to restock from. I took my car to the mechanic thinking I would bring it back with me, but ended up leaving it there. The garage door opener is in the car. Debating on if I should walk to the bodega or see if I can take a nice clean shit that will not present a challenge to the TP I have left on the roll hanging next to the toilet.

Got paper towels?

Bed sheets?

I make sure to always have at least one full package of TP in the house. Especially after the idiocy of the corona TP hoarders. In fact I have like at least 3 in my crawlspace now. I don't really go crazy buying multiple at once so I don't think it counts as hoarding, I just buy one package here and there even if I don't need it.

Isn't this why the shower & toilet are generally in the same room?

Or are you asking if any of us can spare a square?

He should also have a sink. Any pets available?

We just had the hottest weekend in like 100 years...so the ice maker in the new-ish (last Sept.) KitchenAid refrigerator decided to take a shit.
Called KitchenAid/Whirlpool customer support today...will probably be AT LEAST a week before they can find a technician to come out here...and get him the parts.
To add insult to injury...because of the hot weather, the entire town (grocery stores, restaurants, etc.) ran out of ice until Wednesday...POSSIBLY Tuesday, but not likely) A couple of the local bars' ice makers took shits this weekend as well, and were paying patrons to drive 25 miles into town to get ice for them. (if they could find it...lots of stores there were out as well)

So...replying to my own post...

KitchenAid/Whirlpool says they don't have a tech that will come out here...so I'm free to find the tech of my choice. I have to pay for the service call...they will reimburse me up to $150 for labor, and after they receive the service order, they will ship him the parts.

Oh the joys of living 50 miles past the end of nowhere...

I had 5 squares left. Luckily it's Charmin Extra Soft so squares with substance. The first wipe was promising, not much to worry about. The second wipe was virtually clean, and lastly the third wipe affirmed that all was well, otherwise I would have had to start doing some origami work. I'd like to thank my sphincter and whatever organ makes the poop for really coming through for me in the clutch.

Gmail keeps making me login via web browser cause I connect with a bunch of different ip addresses. It's relegated to legacy purposes, so I don't get much mail through it, but the failure to connect messages piss me off every time, and I have a hard time letting failures lie uncorrected. How about you don't worry about my account security, and let me deal with it? It's my last google product I use. Can't wait to get google out of my life...

Yesterday I drove to the nearest Goodwill attended donation center (I have a lot of stuff to donate), which is ~35 minutes away. They were supposed to be open until 4p.m., but when I got there at 3:15p.m. they were closed. Bunch of assholes.

I'm gonna try the nearest Salvation Army store today.

 

[IronWing]

I contacted the seller about the non-delivery of my item. I think the translation might be iffy. Can any french speakers confirm?

So, about a week ago I sent a message to the musician asking if he could put the album on bandcamp as I was having no luck getting the CD. Yesterday…

I am, apparently, completely unable to "properly" open a bag of charcoal (the ones that use the braided string closure). In all of the hundreds of bags I've opened in my life I don't think I've ever had one that worked correctly and I didn't have to tear open.

I think the OP was implying that you could take a shower...

My old phone is finally dead, it would not turn on at all. Nothing, nada. So now I have to buy another one and must pay the Covid 19 surge charge.

The new darn phone is too long, it is almost 50% longer than my old phone and too slick to hold because the whole body is almost made in glass like material. I almost dropped it a few times.

Now I will have to pay for a new case plus microSD card, about $100 for both items, on top of the cost of the phone of $300.

I'm not sure if the laws changed here in WV or not but the fireworks going off in our neighborhood sound like bombs and guns going off. Holy crap! I almost jumped off the toilet last night.

You were not supposed to put thie fireworks in your toilet bowl

The next time your SO asks you to clean the toilet try the firework thing and see if she asks you again.

Works smarter, not harder.

My immediate area is pretty much limited to little kids with sparklers and the occasional firecracker/bottle-rocket.

Not too far from me they've apparently broken out the heavy artillery!

Driving home from my sister's place out in the burbs of Jersey I inadvertently timed my drive back towards NYC perfectly. As I was driving on the highway I saw many firework displays from smaller suburban towns but I was approaching the NYC skyline right before all the big fireworks on the various waterfronts started going off - so I started catching these displays in the thick of it all. It was such a beautiful sight of these layers of fireworks through skyscrapers and buildings on both the NYC and NJ side, and to the north and south from smaller neighborhood displays. A 3 dimensional display peeking through an urban landscape. Tons of people were pulled off to the emergency lane with their hazards on in order to gaze at them. That was the first world problem. That, with the fireworks, caused a lot of rubbernecking and sudden slowing down. Come on motherfuckers, it's only millions and millions of dollars of fireworks going off among one of the top 3 cityscapes on the entire planet, just keep driving so I don't hit you!
