I used to think coffee was for men and tea was for women because of the adults in my family’s preferences

There’s a whole group of people near me with this problem (not cars though). I think they may have cracked it this generation around as there’s very few boys.

My mother hates driving and tried to avoid it and my grandma didn't, neither did my aunt until my uncle died in his mid 50s. Never really thought about this until now.

At my uni, we technically have a rule banning pocket knives on campus, but because we have engineering and animal science students on campus, it's not a big deal when you see people carry pocket knives.

This was me as a kid. An assortment of Swiss Army knives, always available. Finally got one of the good Victorinox ones, and it was my EDC in high school. Totally normal in the redneck town where I grew up. I flew on planes at least twice with one on me, connected as a keychain. No one cared.

The week after 9/11, I was in college in a large coastal city, and a friend that worked at the campus TV station was asking people to be on their "talk show" which was just 3 random students with nothing better to do, and a theatre minor to moderate. Sure enough, 9/11 came up, and everyone was shocked, shocked I tell you, that box cutters made it in the plane.

I said I carried a pocket knife around because it's a tool. And that I had managed to make it on a plane with one before, so it's not that shocking. I had one on me at the time, like one does.

The looks I got - it was like I had told them I invented plane hijackings and was about to murder then all right there. Instantly they were the Us, even the moderator, I was a violent and terrifying Them. With a 3 inch folding blade I wouldn't trust to cut more than a baby bell cheese. Fortunately, literally no one watched the show, but I just thought it was the other 3 people being weird.

Nope. City people just don't expect to do things for themselves a lot I guess. Or something, I'm still not clear on what they're thinking.

Anyway, my EDC these days is a Kershaw tonto blade. Love the big wide stumpiness of it. What's yours?

That sounds a lot like Albacete and Andalucía with all those navajas, especially the gifting part (Navajas de Albacete are a well-known souvenir here in Spain)

Pocket knives should be normalized.

Europeans in shambles.

I remember my first pocket knife. My father gave it to me and I immediately checked the sharpness by running my thumb across it. The wrong way. 6 stitches later I learned not to do that. Lol

Hope you don't breathe while in the bathroom

I worry about pooh on my toothbrush. But I got these toothbrush covers instead.

Good instinct but isn't this what bathroom cupboards (the one with the mirror that you put above the sink) are for?

Also close toilet lid when flushing.

You are a scholar. I don't even want other people's toothpaste moisture on my toothbrush

Did you ever hear of the channel S.V. Seeker? Honestly my favourite bit of niche internet drama, I can't even begin to list the crazy shit that went down but basically a madman with zero knowledge of sailing let alone boatbuilding welded together an ill-conceived hulk roughly according to the plans of someone who is himself a nutter; misadventures on the way include pouring a lead keel and poisoning the topsoil if not himself, faking an explosion and resulting traumatic brain injury to learn who his 'real fans' were, and creating possibly the scariest boat I've ever heard of which no doubt will end up on the news one day having becoming a hazard to navigation.

Anyway he's the first person I ever heard of using a poo knife. He was openly advocating the practice, as well as a 'poo nest' to prevent splashback.

This what I came here looking for. That story haunts me every time I go to the bathroom at a friend's house for the first time. I'm just waiting for the day I see a knife next to the toilet.

I knew a poop knife family. They had 10 kids though, that might have had something to do with it.

Apparently super common and a religious thing.

Never thought I'd feel so warm towards a toilet brush before I read that story.

Yea too bad decent people dont lie to their kids enough about things that are just a little evil and make them into huge deals.

...and then the driver didn't signal to turn and the cement truck couldn't stop and crushed the driver to death. Remember kids, be predictable when driving.

Like replacing the screen door with one with windows, or hanging a new main door?
