Confessional Friday:
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been many years since my last confession.
I almost always answer the phone on the toilet.
You’ll never be able to say enough Hail Marys to fix that one
If they say the Hail Marys while sitting on the toilet would that make it better or worse?
Worse, I’d imagine. You’d be stuck in a never-ending Hail Mary loop
As in if it rings while you are on the toilet you will answer, or when it rings you usually head to the toilet to answer it there?
Well I mean it's right there so you may as well answer it if it rings.
convenient
Haha nice.😂
I will never even take my phone in there unless it's in my handbag and I have to use a public loo, which is very rarely
Same.
What do you do when you're poopin then? Are you just alone with your thoughts and poop?
If you're in there for more than 2 minutes you need more fibre not a phone.
Read the back of the glen20 😂😂
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have never ever in my life stepped foot in a church, let alone confess.
I confess that I make fun of my cat for having an empty nut sack.
I shall say a prayer for you and your feline. Seriously though, some churches are absolutely gorgeous inside. Check it out sometime.
Belief is not a requirement for aesthetic appreciation. And thank fuck it's not
Ya seriously. So much money and time and artistry went into some of those things, they can be absolutely incredible
It's something that we just wouldn't DO now. It doesn't matter to us enough to do it now
We've had a couple of new churches go up around our area recently ish. One is a lovely sandstone I think? It's pretty but not stunning. And the other is a giant shed.
I watched the restoration of Notre Dame with fascination.
If you want to really understand the insides of christian churches, check out Margaret Visser's incredible book The Geometry of Love.
She looks in depth at an 'ordinary' suburban church in Rome, and dissects out the meaning of practically every inch of it. One of the most stunning books I've ever read I think - a sort of natural history of churches. I like her other books too.
hope you know if I sit down in a stall next to you I'm not putting down the firemans blanket and doing my absolute best to make sure your conversation partner hears the "kasploosh" sound.
I was unaware of the fireman blanket technique.
FIREMANS BLANKET
😂😂😂😂😂
"Who does number two work for!"
Bless me father for I have sinned. I used to call my dog over for pats and rubs, so I could wipe my hands on him. Towels were too far away.
RIP little guy
Bless me father for I have sinned. I once put a used toilet seat in the recycle bin because it had a little triangle on it. My efforts were poo-pooed by the recycling truck driver.
Most of my calls come through the PC with Nvidia broadcast mic filtering.
