The High Maintenance thread

my pickup. its an 05, but its only got 92,000 miles on it. sure seems like everything is failing or falling apart and needing to be replaced all at once lately.
had to replace the distributor, the cap, the rotor, the cam sensor; the plugs and wires again, the heat shield for one of the plugs on the passenger side was snapped off; new crankshaft sensor and then another NEW crankshaft sensor; ignition coil, ignition control module and used up the last of my arctic silver for thermal paste on it; PCV hose was dry rotted out; new throttle position sensor; mass air flow sensor was clogged; replaced the clutch, the clutch master/slave cylinders, new transmission fluid too; need to replace the dash circuit board because the old one fried somehow and now i ain't got dash lights for when i'm driving at night anymore, got to swap out the shocks soon, new catalytic converters, maybe a new muffler too, at some point i need to re-do the headliner because the fabrics starting to sag in a few spots and it looks trashy. and im thinkin hard on adding a cold air intake system down the road just for fun. idk all this stuff adds up big time.3 -

Since this apparently my area of concern
Those flushable wipes should not be flushed.
My septic system is as high maintenance as I am. I have signs in both bathrooms warning guests they will have their toity privileges revoked for flushing bad things. 😂
Oh dear.
Do you think even just one would cause issues? I'm thinking since I am just a visitor wherever I am I would be the only one using them and so the only one flushing them and hope just one or two would not cause any damage.1 -

Very high maintenance about recycling. Most of our recyclables end up in the landfill because people don’t understand how to properly recycle. So I take I take on that job and no one is to touch it, then I know it’s being done right.2

in my house it probably would be because we have issues. in other places it’s an issue over time.
Here is one article that popped up on a quick google search. There are others. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.today.com/today/amp/tdna151945

I’ve been told my preference to sit with my back to the wall, facing the door is due to my cultural heritage. It’s a bad joke but I’m allowed to make it. 😁1 -
Not to be a buzz kill on the recycling, but unfortunately our recycling centers are becoming just as over crowded as our landfills with no where for any of it to go. We've been selling our recycled items to other countries, China bought a lot, but now they are refusing to buy it because they don't have anywhere to put it either.
The 60 minutes episode I watched on this made all my recycling efforts feel utterly useless, but it really kicked my tush into gear understanding the key is to just use less of the stuff that's polluting the earth, not limited to plastic.
It's also key to get manufacturers to start opting to use recycled material for their packaging, but again - less use of it all in general seems to be the best medicine. Still a lot of research and reading left to do, but just wanted to share.5 -

I don’t disagree with you. I know that a lot of it gets shipped off and I 100% agree about the packaging. However I can’t control those situations, unfortunately. What I can control is to make sure our home is recycling the correct way. I can control how much I consume. And I can control who I give my money to. And so that’s what I do, because that’s what in my control right now. And I believe something is always better than nothing.0 -
My OJ has to be fresh squeezed within the hour.
I won’t wait in line at the club.
If my feet hurt, I expect my man to carry me.
That’s it.

Aren't those wipes a contributor to all the ' fatburgs' plaguing London and the UK. Wipes and grease from from chip vans. Fish and chips with malt vinegar wrapped in newspaper. Yum . Fried mars bars, batterburgers, no dentists. Raining. Brexit. Sounds like a blast.3 -
I’m laid back in some areas I guess, but mostly I’m a little high strung... When people leave their grooming stuff all over the bathroom counters I have a hard time. I recently got new counters, and I don’t want to cover up any more of them than absolutely necessary. And even though everything has wiped up easily so far, the idea of a shaving cream can potentially making rust rings on my stone is a legit fear of mine.0

I need space when in a line or in a room with other people.... if i can hear you breathe or smell the tuna on your breath that you had for lunch, there is a good chance ill be asking you to back off.....please of course

We're super picky about this in my household and workplace. Like over the top. I get it!
I'm high maintenance about my morning bath. I have to have at least 40 minutes to get ready and most of that is soaking in hot water. Yes, every day. Yes, even when traveling.2 -

The Gym... I'm just a lil' psycho there.
Rack Your Weights
Wipe Down Your Gear
Ask to Work-In instead of staring at me.
Get the *&^$@ Off Of Your Phone... the coffee shop is across the street
