That's right up there with that other malady... Affluenza.

Last week I watched a bloke leave a toilet cubicle in a swanky local department store without troubling to wash his hands. Wifey and I had just been discussing how often we'd seen this happen so I decided to follow him and watch just where he put his maungy little paws next.

Downstairs he skipped, and on his way out stopped at the cologne counter and doused himself from a sample bottle of aftershave.

I thought "You dirty little git"

Seen it time and time again, while having a No.1 these dirty buggers step out the cubical after a No.2 and off they go to spread their germs around.

Is it so hard to wash your hands? Clearly in their case yes, I always wash my hands after a No.1 & 2.

My missus says that in the Ladies, the more swanky the female is who emerges after squeezing one off, the less likely she is to wash her hands...

Well if I'm tbh, one of my favourite tricks when out on the town with the boys would be to wash after either but not dry the hands....on many an occasion you would meet someone you knew entering the toilet area as you were exiting and a quick "How are you doing?" and a shake from your wet hand would produce a priceless expression/reaction from the other party.

Did he just pee on his hand?

I looked at the rear offside tyre on this bloke's car once and it was so smooth you could almost see your face in it. I knew it was no good telling him, so I told his wife because I knew she'd nag him into a trip to Kwikfit, which she did. I did this 'cos my kid was going to be travelling in this car at some point, and it's not even like his car was a shed.

Check pressures AND tread!

Most definitely not.

I change out the 5 tires/tyres on the Jeep every two years, mainly because when I retire I will not likely have the extra money to buy new tires at $250.oo ea. The slightly used tires are stored on their sidewalls in my shed (no sunshine getting on them to rot the rubber), under lock and key.

With the big truck, when the tires are down to the wear bars.....off they go. Especially if I am about to go Northwest for the summer. Tires in northwestern Ontario are way more expensive and harder to get than they are nearer to Toronto. It does help that my company has 1/2 interest in a tire shop.

My wife did it again, bought a big show poodle....after I said NO! She tricked me with some good sex to keep it. Just now, I had 3 large steaks marinating on the kitchen counter and buttered bread ready to go into the oven. That beast ate every bit of it......

And people wonder why I'm on the fence about marriage.

Me, I HATE California drivers. Little old ladies on their way to the Native American rez, driving 15.5 kph (I use metric. Its easier and I picked it up in England) on a two-lane, no passing highway. Should you go the other way, you have put up with people sitting off your quarter panel, two idiots in either lane ahead of you competing for 'Slowest Diver' award, or playing 'Goody Two Shoes' whenever a sherriff or CHP officer is nearby (We're out of the city police department's jurisdiction). If not that, they engage in one of the below while driving.

1: Texting/talking w/o hands-free device (illegal)
2: Reading the newspaper (TECHNICALLY illegal)
3: Smoking
4: Eating with both hands
5: Applying makeup.
6: Pickin' a winner (I kid you not)
7: Paying more attention to the inside of their eyelids

The list goes on...

But, but, but, although 15.5 kph is indeed metric, we always use miles for speed and distances on the road. True we do use metric measurements when it suits us (measuring lengths of wood etc. to cut, colder temperature readings (because 0* C sound colder than 32*F), weights of goods for sale in shops) but we also use imperial such as measuring warmer temperatures (90*C sounds hotter than 32*F), beer measurements (WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER THE PINT!!

) and measuring peoples height. That's the thing about this country, we can mix measurements with impunity as it confuses the foreigners!

You do know that it is better to be pee'd off than pee'd on.

You English buggers. You drive a man to drink. Just look at us Scots- and Irishmen.

To Subsim, Neal, and whatever else we deem drinkable to (a.k.a, nigh everything)

I much prefer my Scottish distilled water. It is soooooooo much sweeter.

I am sure there are some that would argue that.
