I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.

    I don’t wash dishes I use paper plates and forks.

    We can’t get a dishwasher. The pipes to the house are too messed up. The sink was designed for someone way taller than me so I have to lean forward and get soaked on the cabinet that tilts forwards towards me instead of back towards the sink.

    I put clothes on hangers and hung them in the doorway between the kitchen and the rest of the house to take with me when I eventually head in that direction. I left the clothes there for over a week while I had to twist to get around them, and only took them to my room to put away when I did laundry the next week…and ran out of space to hang the clean shirts.

    I dunno if laziest but my landlord certainly thought so. I had bedbugs and there’s so much crap you have to do prep for the extermination like remove all your clothes and wash them three times on hot, flip through all your books to check for them, the list was ridiculous. I’m way too lazy for that so I paid the extra $600 out of pocket for the “good” treatment where they just super heat your entire home to kill them and all you have to do is remove things that might melt or explode.

    Thankfully the exterminators found the illegal fireworks I had hidden and forgotten about, removed them, and didn’t say anything to the landlord.

      The heat treatment was the only thing that worked when I had to deal with those little fuckers. I’m sorry you had to deal with them, but I’m glad they’re gone now. Those things aren’t just physically irritating, they fuck with your head.

        Last part of last sentence absolutely. Reminded me of when I moved to sleeping on the couch while waiting for the extermination day. While doing couch life I read that bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide so breathing will pull them toward you anyway. There is no escape.

        55 C or thereabouts. I was at work when they did it. When I came home it felt like I’d left the heat on full blast all day

          Yea that’s what we did at a public library I worked at whenever a bed bug or signs of it were spotted. All the books in the same space were considered contaminated and we put them all in a special heater.

        Pretty much everything is illegal here except maybe like sparklers and snakes. I only had pretty tame stuff like Roman candles I bought a county over from mine. Lotta wildfires here.

    I did the same. I wanted to watch a TV series of which I own the box set but I was too lazy to get the box, put the disc in and go through the menu for every three episodes or so. So I pirated it.

      go through the menu for every three episodes

      So many providers these days STILL don’t get that the more control you take away the less incentive people have to buy their product. Oh I have to see a mandatory FBI piracy warning splash screen and the speed control is locked at 1.5x max? Jeez it’s a shame you can’t compete with the pirated file that has no nag screens and I can blow through at fucking 20x if I want.

    I once threw away sink full of dirty dishes rather than hand wash them. They had been there for like two weeks and were really nasty. I think that was at the height of my depression.

      And I tried to save a pan, but the fat and dust would never get of it, and I needed to throw it away anyway…

        That’s why I like stainless steel cookware. If there’s a tough mess stuck to them, I just switch from my usual sponge to the stainless steel scouring pad and wear it back down to the metal.

        Can do similar with cast iron, but it can turn into more work if you need to reseason it.

          As someone who has spent their fair share of time deep-cleaning greasy commercial kitchens, I believe the stainless steel scrubby is one of humankind’s greatest creations.

          Since some months now we have a carbon steel pan and I absolutely love it, because it’s also very thin and adapts quickly to temperature changes

          And also has the advantage to clean it quite roughly

            That quick temperature change sounds like a double edged sword to me, as a thicker base means it can hold its temperature as you add cold/wet food, which might result in steaming food instead of frying/sautéing.

            On that note, temperature control also helps making cleaning easier. If your oil is heated before you add the food, the food will tend to not stick as much (though there’s a bunch of other factors at play, so I still get use out of my scouring pad).

              I usually account for that, by starting to heat up before that

              Maybe a thing of preference :⁠-⁠)

    Back in my teenage years, when you used to change TV channel by walking over to the TV and physically pressing a button, myself and two friends (likely all a bit stoned), sat on a sofa opposite the TV, invented a ~3 metre long “TV prodding device” from gaffer tape and “anything we could find within arm’s reach”.

    I think we spent about half an hour building this device, rather than any of us standing up, taking a few steps forward and physically pressing the button.

    The device succeeded.

    It fell apart after a few uses.
