It never fails that when I'm running late for work, every other person in my city wants to go at least 5 miles below the speed limit. They're so inconsiderate of my tardiness. Jerks.0

OMG, I drive angry almost every morning because Syracuse is full of these people. Why doesn't anybody move with purpose?! It makes me all stabby.0 -
At least you didn't have a jerk running up the right hand shoulder passing people illegally and putting himself and others at risk for an accident.0

I'm TOM crabby today. People better stay out of my way. Oh, wait. Today is the day I finally meet THE attorney general, my big boss. (I'll have been at this job a year on Nov 10th and I'm just now meeting the big boss.) Guess I better start faking a good mood...

Had already made an eye appointment for tomorrow to get new glasses... might have to tell her about this too... Little embarrassed.
Ouch! I think @lilaclovebird mentioned she had done something like this too!
I did! I also got a split lip because of it. Hurt SO bad and LOOKED even WORSE!
I slammed one of my breasts in a car door once. I thought I was clear - but apparently wasn't.
Ouch. One of the good things about having small boobs. They're rarely in the way.
True that. I'd hit my nose or my chin before I ever had any boob contact.

It's been raining all week. Oh noes! The road is wet! I had better slow down to at least 10 mph below the posted limit! Aargh!!!0 -

These people make me crazy. I try to leave my house 5-10 minutes before I have to because if them and also because school buses pick up elementary kids within 5 minutes of my scheduled start time and I want to be in front of them.0 -

Smile and nod...yes, sir/ma'am or no, sir/ma'am... Nice to meet you. You've got this.

So, I live in a mountainous rural area...some of our roads really do require slower speeds when they are wet or you may end up off the cliff or in the river. Followed by a very expensive helicopter ride to the trauma center I work for.0 -

This happened here the other day. It was just rain, for Pete's sake! I always dread the first snowfall of the year, it's guaranteed I will be late for work.0 -

It's amazing what a difference 5 minutes can make. If I can leave between 7:15 & 7:20, traffic is pretty good and people are moving. It'll take me 20ish minutes to get to work Leave at 7:25? Everyone drives 10-20 under the limit and it'll take 30+ minutes to get to work.0 -

This is definitely true! In addition to the school buses, I drive by both middle schools and the high school on my way to work. The doors open at both at 7. If I leave 5 minutes late, I meet all of the teens and teachers on the road. No, thanks!

GROSS! I am *so* brainwashed about washing my hands thanks to JCAHO rules. Community acquired (insert disease here) is usually easily prevented by hand washing. And a lot of hospital acquired infections are the same. Hand washing is the best medical advance in human history.0 -

I have definitely eaten dry hot chocolate mix, but I have also eaten dry cake mix. Yeah.
I have never eaten out of the trash as I'm a bit germophobic. However, I do have a trash-related confession for today: I threw out like 20 kg of my husband's expired protein powder/creatine this weekend without telling him and I have a feeling he's going to be mad when he does notice...but it expired in DECEMBER 2013 and it has been cluttering up my limited pantry space ever since and he has not made a protein shake in at least a year and a half. I don't regret it and I know if I'd asked him he would have been like "but it's so expeeeeeensive..." but it was also going to poison him probably so I don't care.
I've never drowned peanut butter but I've definitely thrown "extra" stuff right down the disposal instead of saving it so there was no chance I could go back and eat more of it.
I wear workout stuff at least twice, as I have only three sports bras, do laundry once weekly, and work out every day but Friday normally.
I've never worn a sauna suit but I did try one of those ab belts once and I also used to have a Thigh Master passed down from my mother, haha.
It probably would've tasted disgusting if he did make one now. You did the right thing
Right? Not like he would have noticed with all the almond butter, fruit, and yogurt he loads into his smoothies but still, it can't have been good. I know it was powder but it's still kinda dairy and if it had an expiry on it that probably means something...especially a nearly two-year-old expiry.
I'm glad I married a guy who's responsible with his money but sometimes I have to shake my head and tell him it's okay to get rid of stuff that's unusable even if it was expensive. I refuse to let him turn into a hoarder like I worry certain members of his family are headed.
For what it is worth, the health dept and USDA let us serve canned foods/dry goods at the soup kitchen for a year after it's "expiration" date. I think it's 6 months for frozen foods, but don't quote me on that. The protein powder needed to go.
Interesting. I tend to look at the "best by date" as a suggestion anyway.
There's a lot of research out there that suggests exactly that - that "best before" doesn't mean "inedible after" - but I'm pretty conservative with it and will toss anything I'm remotely suspicious about, especially dairy. My boss has been known to eat yogurt weeks past its expiry from her office fridge and I would NEVER. I clean out the fridge weekly and very little that's past date is ever allowed to remain. I'm aware that it's wasteful but I just can't deal with it. I do try really hard not to throw out food though and use everything FIFO like a restaurant walk-in
I will eat things like yogurt past the best before date if it was unopened & doesn't smell/look bad. I use the best before as a suggestion as well - besides, just because that date hasn't passed doesn't automatically mean it's good. I've opened milk and it's been bad, even though it was days before the expiry.
My husband thinks all yogurt is by definition rotten anyway. He says " how can you tell if it's to rotten" I must mention that he doesn't like yogurt. He is confused on some topics and this is one of them.0 -

Gross is right. I work for a hospital and they drill into our heads every single day the importance of hand hygiene. We have secret shopper type people who hang around and make sure you wash your hands properly after using the restroom. And every day the "hand hygiene" number, or percentage of people observed who are doing it properly, is displayed on the front page of our website. Today's hand hygiene number is 96%. You'd think this would be at 100%, what with this being a hospital and all.0 -

Having two little kids, I have greatly reduced my cursing, and the only lapses over the past few years have been while driving! People that don't acknowledge a "lane ends, merge right" sign posted 1 mile ahead and cause traffic jams trying to get over 100 yards before the merge, people going slower than the speed limit on the highway for some inexplicable reason during rush hour, stand still traffic caused by people slowing down to gawk at a police car pulling someone over or a guy changing a tire, failure to use a blinker, failure to give a courtesy wave because I let someone over when I really didn't have any obligation to do so, etc...0 -
My version of the Confessions Bingo!!
I have only used dry mix to top ice cream.
I have taken something back out of the trash, it was still in the unopened original container.
I like PB, but not enough to need to drown a jar, Nutella, that might be possible.
I wear work out clothes once usually, the bra sometimes gets two rounds.
I have not worn a sauna suit, but I have an ab belt type thing, no electrodes there, and have tried just about every diet aside from the Jenny Craig type stuff and surgery. Quick Weight Loss actually works, but it is impossible to eat like that the rest of your life....
confession bingo
I have eaten dry coco from the container. It was Nesquik as a child. Mom was not amused, since there was evidence all over tie kitchen.
I can't ever remember taking anything back out of the trash, but I wouldn't put it past me if my mom had thrown my candy away.
I buy peanuts ground up, touch my peanut butter and there will be trouble. I stopped buying Nutella since our boys left because it calls to me.
I sweat to much to wear workout clothing more that once, I don't like putting wet clothing on when I am dry.
What is a sauna suit?
I am abysmally poor about following someone else's plan on how I should eat. It ends in epic fails. I must be able to eat what I want and make choices as they come.

I have such scorn for people who fail to hand wash, that guy from the gym exits the bathroom and then touches weights and machines with his poop bacteria-ridden hands. He is probably in his 40s, wtf has gone wrong in his life that he can't engage in the most basic personal and public hygiene activity, hand washing, something that my 4 year old knows he is supposed to do every time he goes potty?0 -

I am going to try one of the fruit flavors next and hope it's better.
I just tried the coconut one the other day and microwaved it because of a discussion in the bat cave. It was lovely and made my tummy so warm and happy. I defiantly will get more.0 -

Agreed. I bartended my way through university and I cannot deal with people who don't wash their hands. The habit is too ingrained in me to wash them whenever I pass a sink.0 -

My neighbor brought me 2 bunches of bananas that were close to being too ripe to eat, so I made banana bread. It is so yummy! (Especially the loaf I made with pecans and chocolate chips!) Thankfully it is going pretty quickly at work, so I won't have to eat it all!
Sounds so good, I would have to take something like that to work also, or I'd be doomed.
Speaking of bananas....
I have a food dryer that I love. Many years back I had bought 3 lbs of very ripe bananas for real cheap and put them in the dryer. That many usually takes 2 days to dry while flipping them once halfway through. I was very happy with the results. I quickly threw them in a zip lock bag and only took a small amount with me to work. People were curious about them so I shared them knowing I had a bunch at home that I could enjoy.
When I got home I looked everywhere for them. EVERYWHERE. They were not to be found.
When hubby got home, I asked him if he had seen them.
His eyes widened and said "BANANAS, Oh don't even talk to me about bananas. I came home after work yesterday and I was starving and I saw the bananas and just started eating them. I ate the whole bag." I commented to him that he had eaten what used to be 3 lbs. of bananas. I was more than a bit peeved. He continued "I suddenly got real thirsty, so I drank a lot of water." I knew what came next. "Oh, the pain. I thought I was going to explode. I had 3 lbs. of bananas looking for a new home!" It was punishment enough.
To this day, my dried bananas are safe from him.0 -

Wow, I can't believe I just put that out there.
Pretty sure lying to your kids about the good snacks is a mark of good parenting, lol.
Yea, my older son is a snack thief. He wakes up super early in the morning and finds treats. He have adapted by buying treats after dark and hiding them various places.
That is daughter. I can't have chocolate in the house or she will find it. And eat it. And then tell me she feels fat.
I just have to hide snacks from myself
Not sure how that would work...that is when they go into the trash. And then to dumpster. Or that trash eating behavior surfaces!
I'm out of sight, out of (mostly) mind. So I'm much less likely to attack the jelly beans if they are in my desk drawer that I rarely open - even better if I can avoid them for a week because I'll really start to forget. Spare baked goods go in the freezer and same thing happens. I'm a lucky girl that way, I guess.
Not me, if I know they are there its ALL I can think of!
Me too, I usually avoid buying things that call me to them and weak moments.0 -
