What things bother you the most?

You're kidding, right? It'll probably go UP. :banghead:

We can all rejoice and start buying those giant SUVs again... :beaten:

Had to go to the dentist today for the first time in ages. Had the bad tooth partially filled (I had a hole in it) and some stuff put on the sensitive ones.
But, from the X-rays, my tooth looks really bad, and will ultimately have to come out. :puppydog:

Hang in there, okaasan! :hug:

Thank you, me dears. :bow: My bad tooth has hardly hurt since it was treated yesterday, and the sensitivity has pretty much gone to (I had some stuff painted on them to stop it), so today I had a LOVELY cup of tea, for the first time in over a week (the heat hurt before).
Doing without tea was awful - I'm English! :hehe:

I have got another moan though - I'm moving in less than a week, and I can't think straight. :sweat:

Glad to hear you're feeling better, love. :victory:

So think crooked. The result is usually better. ;)

Moving? Didn't you recently move?

I hate it when you download a video file - over 1G - and the encoding is so crap that it looks worse than a file that's 1/4 the size :banghead: To make things worse, ffdshow doesn't work with it so subs won't show :beatyou:

How is it possible that someone just forgets to flush a toilet? I want to choke out my roommate. :grumble:

Just like he choked you out with the smell....

Nice one heh.

I had to unload on the air freshener, and let the roomie know I wasn't happy about it. :sweat:

Some things require immediate action.

Febreeze works really well: it's molecules encapsulate other ones somehow...

------------------------------------------
The product's active ingredient is cyclodextrin, which is a type of modified starch having a shape similar to a donut. The manufacturer claims that molecules of this starch bind hydrophobic compounds within the donut shape, thus retaining malodorous molecules so that they are no longer detected as a scent.

Cyclodextrins are able to form host-guest complexes with hydrophobic molecules given the unique nature imparted by their structure. As a result these molecules have found a number of applications in a wide range of fields. Other than the above mentioned pharmaceutical applications for drug release, cyclodextrins can be employed in environmental protection: these molecules can effectively immobilise inside their rings toxic compounds, like trichloroethane or heavy metals, or can form complexes with stable substances, like trichlorfon (an organophosphorus insecticide) or sewage sludge, enhancing their decomposition.

How funny...the guy probably ate a box of donuts which is what led to the horrible smell. :hehe:

Omg, I did that once in a public toilet by mistake! And a lady who was waiting to get in and had to flush it before she used it. :ashamed: Thank goodness it was only a #1, but still... :shamefulcry:

I guess that's why the toilets with automatic flushing sensors are a good thing. :bonk:

Yeah, I tried to play that off in my mind that since I look like a Japanese tourist, I thought it had that automatic flushing system. :bonk:

Nah, I've talked about moving, but it's only happening next Friday. :D

Sounds like we need to get one installed here.
